“Likewise,
Just as it was
In the days
Of Lot.
They were eating.
They were drinking.
They were buying.
They were selling.
They were planting.
They were building.”
ὁμοίως καθὼς ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Λώτ· ἤσθιον, ἔπινον, ἠγόραζον, ἐπώλουν, ἐφύτευον, ᾠκοδόμουν
Luke uniquely indicated that Jesus also mentioned Lot from Genesis, chapter 19. Jesus said likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot (ὁμοίως καθὼς ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Λώτ), they were eating (ἤσθιον), drinking (ἔπινον), buying (ἠγόραζον), selling (ἐπώλουν), planting (ἐφύτευον), and building (ἐφύτευον). This was much the same as the statement about Noah. At the time of Lot, the nephew of Abraham, they too were carrying on normal activities. In other words, people assume that nothing will happen to them. What do you know about Lot?
