Luke 17
1 Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
And he said unto his disciples: —It is, impossible, that occasions of stumbling should not come, notwithstanding, alas! for him through whom they do come:
2 It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
It profiteth him, if, a mill-stone, is hung about his neck, and he is cast into the sea, than that he cause, one, of these little ones, to stumble.
3 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
Be taking heed to yourselves, —If thy brother sin, rebuke him, and, if he repent, forgive him;
4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
Even if, seven times a day, he sin against thee, and, seven times, turn to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
And the apostles said unto the Lord—Bestow on us 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.
And the Lord said—If ye have faith like a grain of mustard-seed, ye should be saying unto [this] mulberry-tree—Be uprooted! and be planted in the sea, —and it should obey you.
7 Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
But, who from among you, having, a servant, plowing or keeping sheep, when he hath come in out of the field, will say to him—Straightway, come, and recline; —
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’?
on the contrary, will not say to him—Make somewhat ready, that I may dine, —and, girding thyself, be ministering unto me, until I have eaten and drunk; and, after these things, thou, shalt eat and drink?
9 Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?
Doth he offer thanks unto the servant, because he hath done the things enjoined?
10 So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”
Thus, ye also, when ye have done all the things enjoined upon you, say—Unprofitable servants, are we, —What we were bound to do, we have done!
11 While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.
And it came to pass, during the journey unto Jerusalem, that, he, was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance
And, as he was entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood still, afar off;
13 and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
and, they, lifted up a voice, saying—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.
And, beholding, he said unto them—Go your way, and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they withdrew, they were cleansed.
15 When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.
But, one from among them, beholding that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice, glorifying God, —
16 He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.
and fell prostrate at his feet, giving him thanks; and, he, was a Samaritan.
17 “Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?
And Jesus, answering, said—Were not, the ten, cleansed? [but, ] where, are, the nine?
18 Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”
Have none been found returning to give glory to God, save this one of another race?
19 Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”
And he said unto him—Arise and go thy way: thy faith, hath saved thee.
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.
And, being questioned by the Pharisees, When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered them and said—The kingdom of God cometh not with narrow watching;
21 Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
Neither shall they say—Lo, here! or, There. For lo! the kingdom of God, is, among you.
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.
But he said unto the disciples—There will come days—when ye will long to see, one of the days of the Son of Man, and shall not see.
23 People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.
And they will say unto you, Lo there! or, Lo here! Do not [depart, and do not] pursue.
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.
For, just as, the lightning, flashing out of the one part under heaven, unto the other part under heaven, shineth, so, shall be, the Son of Man.
25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
But, first, he must needs 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:
And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so, will it be, even 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.
They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, —until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and 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.
In like manner, as it came to pass in the days of Lot, They were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building, —
29 But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
But, on the day Lot came out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: —
30 It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
According to the same things, will it be 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.
In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his utensils in the house, let him not go down, to take them away! And, he that is in the field, in like manner, let him not turn unto the things behind,
32 Remember Lot’s wife!
Bear in mind the wife of Lot! Whosoever shall seek to make his life his own, shall lose it,
33 Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
But, whosoever shall lose it, shall give it a living birth.
34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: One will be taken and the other left.
I say unto you—On the selfsame night, there shall be two men on [one] bed, —the one, shall be taken near, and, the other, left behind;
35 Two women will be grinding grain together: One will be taken and the other left.”
There shall be two women grinding together, —the one, shall be taken near, and, the other, left behind.
37 “Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
And, answering, they say unto him—Where, Lord? And, he, said unto them—Where the body is, there, the vultures also, will be gathered together.
