Luke 17
1 And he said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come; but woe unto him, through whom they come!
Then He said to the disciples: “Things that cause people to fall are bound to come, but woe to him through whom they do come!
2 It were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to fall.
3 Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Watch out for yourselves: if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4 And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in that day returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
So the Lord said: “If you had faith like a mustard seed has, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7 But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat;
“And which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline to eat’?
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?
Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, and gird yourself and serve me until I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?
9 Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded?
Does he thank that slave because he did the things commanded? I guess not!
10 Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do.
So likewise you, whenever you have done everything you were told to do, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves, because we have only done what we were supposed to.’”
11 And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
Now as He was traveling toward Jerusalem, He went along between Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off:
And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him—being lepers they stood at a distance.
13 and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
They called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed.
And paying attention He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” It happened that as they went they were cleansed!
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God;
Well one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, glorifying God with a loud voice;
16 and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
then he fell on his face at His feet, thanking Him—and he was a Samaritan!
17 And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
So Jesus reacted by saying: “Were not all ten cleansed? So where are the nine?
18 Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?
None were found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner!”
19 And he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Then He said to him, “Get up and go; your faith has made you well.”
20 And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said: “The Kingdom of God does not come with observation;
21 neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
nor will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ because indeed 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.
Then He said to the disciples: “Days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of the Man, and you will not see it.
23 And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after [them]:
And they will say to you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Do not go along or follow.
24 for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.
Because just like the lightning that lights the whole sky when it flashes, so also will the Son of the Man be in His day.
25 But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.
But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Also, just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of the Man.
27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
They were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building—
29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:
but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
Even so will it be in the day when the Son of the Man is revealed.
31 In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back.
“In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to get them; and likewise he who is in the field, let him not turn back.
32 Remember Lot’s wife.
Remember Lot's wife!
33 Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose [his life] shall preserve it.
Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever ‘wastes’ it will preserve it.
34 I say unto you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
I tell you: on that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.
35 There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken and the other left.”
37 And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body [is], thither will the eagles also be gathered together.
They reacted by saying to Him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where there is a carcass, there will the vultures also be gathered.”
