Luke 17

1 Jesus said to the disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2 It would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and returns seven times in that day to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6 And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

7 Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?

8 Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you may eat and drink’?

9 Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told? I think not.

10 So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11 While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12 As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13 and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14 When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15 When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16 He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17 “Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18 Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19 Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20 When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21 Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22 Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

23 People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24 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.

25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27 People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28 It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29 But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30 It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31 On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.

32 Remember Lot’s wife!

33 Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35 Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

37 “Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”

1 ¶ Then said he unto the disciples, ‹It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe› [unto him], ‹through whom they come!›

2 ‹It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.›

3 ‹Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.›

4 ‹And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.›

5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

6 And the Lord said, ‹If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.›

7 ‹But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?›

8 ‹And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?›

9 ‹Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.›

10 ‹So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.›

11 ¶ And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw [them], he said unto them, ‹Go shew yourselves unto the priests.› And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, ‹Were there not ten cleansed? but where› [are] ‹the nine?›

18 ‹There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.›

19 And he said unto him, ‹Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.›

20 ¶ And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, ‹The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:›

21 ‹Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.›

22 And he said unto the disciples, ‹The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see› [it].

23 ‹And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after› [them], ‹nor follow› [them].

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.›

25 ‹But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.›

26 ‹And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.›

27 ‹They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.›

28 ‹Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;›

29 ‹But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed› [them] ‹all.›

30 ‹Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.›

31 ‹In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.›

32 ‹Remember Lot's wife.›

33 ‹Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.›

34 ‹I tell you, in that night there shall be two› [men] ‹in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.›

35 ‹Two› [women] ‹shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.›

36 ‹Two› [men] ‹shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.›

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.›

1 And he said unto his disciples, It is impossible that trouble should not come: but woe unto him by whom it cometh!

2 It were more profitable for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be cast into the sea, than that he should offend these little ones.

3 Beware! If thy brother sin against thee, punish him; and if he amend, forgive him.

4 And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and come again unto thee seven times in a day, and say, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Strengthen us in the faith.

6 And the LORD said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, and say unto this mulberry tree, Pluck thee up, and put thee into the sea, it will be obedient unto you.

7 What man is there of you that hath a servant to plow for him, or to feed his cattle, when he cometh home from the field, to say unto him, Go quickly, and sit down to meat?

8 Is it not so, that he saith unto him: Make ready that I may eat supper; apron thyself, and serve me, until I eat and drink: afterward shalt thou also eat and drink?

9 Doth he also thank the same servant, because he hath done that which he was commanded? I do not mean it.

10 So likewise ye, when ye have done all that is commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we were bound to do.

11 And it came to pass, as he journeyed to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And when he was come into a market, there met him ten leprous men sitting afar off.

13 And they lifted up their voice, and said: JEsu, dear Master, have mercy on us!

14 And when he saw them, he said unto them: Go and show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were clean.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned again, and praised God with a loud voice.

16 And fell on his face at his feet, and gave him thanks. And this was a Samaritan.

17 And JEsus answered and said: Were not ten of them pure? But where are the nine?

18 Is there none else found that will turn again, and give glory to God, but this stranger?

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way. Thy faith hath helped thee].

20 And when he was asked of the Pharisees, When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered and said unto them: The kingdom of God does not come with outward gestures.

21 They won't say: here or there it is! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

22 And he said unto the disciples, The time shall come, when ye shall desire to see the day of the Son of man, and shall not see it,

23 And they shall say unto you, Behold here, behold there. Go not, neither follow.

24 For as the lightning flasheth from heaven above, and shineth upon all that is under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.

25 But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man:

27 And they did eat, and they drank, and they let themselves go, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28 The same as it was in the days of Lot: they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built. And it rained on the day that Lot went out of So-dom. Fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and killed them all.

30 In like manner shall it be in that day, when the Son of man shall be revealed.

31 In the same day, he that is on the housetop, and his household goods in the house, let him not go down to fetch them. In the same day, let him who is in the field not turn back to that which is behind him.

32 Remember the wife of Lot.

33 He that seeketh to preserve his soul shall lose it; and he that shall lose it shall save it to life.

34 I say unto you: In that night two shall lie on one couch: one shall be accepted, and the other forsaken.

35 Two shall grind together: the one shall be accepted, and the other forsaken.

36 Two shall be in the field; one shall be accepted, and the other forsaken.

37 And they answered and said unto him, Lord, where then? And he said unto them: Where the carcase is, there do the eagles gather.
