luke 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

luke 17:37 And answering they said to Him, "Where, Lord?" And He said to them, "Where the body [is], there also will the vultures be gathered."

luke 17:37 And answering they said to Him, "Where, Lord?" And He said to them, "Where the body [is], there also will the vultures be gathered."
