Matthew 24:36-39 GNB
(36) "No one knows, however, when that day and hour will come---neither the angels in heaven nor the Son; the Father alone knows. (37) The coming of the Son of Man will be like what happened in the time of Noah. (38) In the days before the flood people ate and drank, men and women married, up to the very day Noah went into the boat; (39) yet they did not realize what was happening until the flood came and swept them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes.

Matthew 24:36-39 Darby
(36) But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, but my Father alone. (37) But as the days of Noe, so also shall be the coming of the Son of man. (38) For as they were in the days which were before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noe entered into the ark, (39) and they knew not till the flood came and took all away; thus also shall be the coming of the Son of man.

Matthew 24:36-39 CEV
(36) No one knows the day or hour. The angels in heaven don't know, and the Son himself doesn't know. Only the Father knows. (37) When the Son of Man appears, things will be just as they were when Noah lived. (38) People were eating, drinking, and getting married right up to the day that the flood came and Noah went into the big boat. (39) They didn't know anything was happening until the flood came and swept them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man appears.

Matthew 24:36-39 NWT
36 "Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; 39 and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.

Matthew 24:36-39 ESV
(36) "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. (37) As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (38) For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, (39) and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Matthew 24:36-39 Coverdale
(36) Neuertheles of that daye & houre knoweth no man, no not the angels of heauen, but my father onely. (37) Euen as it was in the tyme of Noe, so shal the commynge of the sonne of man be also. (38) For as they were in the dayes before ye floude (they ate, they dronke, they maried, and were maried, euen vnto the daye yt Noe entred in to the shippe, (39) and they regarded it not, tyll the floude came and toke them all awaye) So shal also the commynge of the sonne of man be.
