He was not,
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
the context here is they were eating and drinking marrying and giving in marriage Read Gen 6 to understand what Jesus said in verse 37.
They were partying sinning orgies and sexual perversion they did marriage without meaning. A Mockery. Gen 6 account was not business, as usual, it was SIN that God flooded the earth.
