Luke 17:24

For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one [part] under heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

For {G1063} as {G5618} the lightning {G796}, that lighteneth {G797} out of {G1537} the one part under {G5259} heaven {G3772}, shineth {G2989} unto {G1519} the other part under {G5259} heaven {G3772}; so {G3779} shall also {G2532} the Son {G5207} of man {G444} be {G2071} in {G1722} his {G846} day {G2250}.

because the Son of Man in his day will be like lightning that flashes and lights up the sky from one horizon to the other.

For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.
