And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

und achteten's nicht, bis die Sintflut kam und nahm sie alle dahin, also wird auch sein die Zukunft des Menschensohnes.
Y no conocieron hasta que vino el diluvio y llevó a todos, así será también la venida del Hijo del hombre.
y no se dieron cuenta hasta que llegó el diluvio y los arrastró a todos. Así será también la venida del Hijo del Hombre.
et ils ne se doutèrent de rien, jusqu'à ce que le déluge vînt et les emportât tous: il en sera de même à l'avènement du Fils de l'homme.
e non si avvidero di nulla, finchè venne il diluvio e li portò tutti via; così ancora sarà la venuta del Figliuol dell’uomo.
E não o perceberam, até que veio o dilúvio, e os levou a todos, assim será também a vinda do Filho do homem.
不知不覺洪水來了,把他們全都沖去。人子來臨也要這樣。
