I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
I'm telling you, when that night comes, two people will be sleeping in the same bed, one will be taken away, and the other will be left behind.
When Jesus returns, it won't matter how close you are to someone, what matters is your heart.
📚 Historical Context
In the historical context, Jesus was speaking to His disciples about the end times, warning that the Son of Man's return would be sudden and unexpected, much like the judgments in the days of Noah and Lot. This verse uses everyday scenes from first-century life, such as people sleeping in beds, to show that divine separation will occur in the midst of normal activities, emphasizing the biblical theme of God's sovereign judgment. It fits into Luke's Gospel, which records Jesus' teachings to prepare people for the Kingdom of God.
