Exegesis
The conjunction kathōs {καθὼς | ka-thṓs} ‘just as’ introduces a comparative clause, and the aorist verb egeneto {ἐγένετο | e-gé-ne-to} ‘it happened’ functions as a summary historical marker, presenting the whole situation in the days of Lot as a single past event.
In context — Luke 17:28
Likewise, just as it happened in the days of Lot , they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
