Luke 17

1 Then said he to his disciples, It can not be auoided, but that offences will come, but wo be to him by whome they come.

Then he said to his disciples: It is impossible that causes of offense should not come; but alas for him by whom they come!

2 It is better for him that a great milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were cast into ye sea, then that he should offende one of these litle ones.

It would be better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.

3 Take heede to your selues: if thy brother trespasse against thee, rebuke him: and if hee repent, forgiue him.

Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sin against you, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4 And though he sinne against thee seuen times in a day, and seuen times in a day turne againe to thee, saying, It repenteth mee, thou shalt forgiue him.

And if he sin against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to you and say, I repent, you shall forgive him.

5 And the Apostles saide vnto the Lord, Increase our faith.

And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.

6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith, as much as is a graine of mustard seede, and should say vnto this mulberie tree, Plucke thy selfe vp by the rootes, and plant thy selfe in the sea, it should euen obey you.

And the Lord said: If you had faith like a grain of mustard, you might say to this sycamine-tree, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it should obey you.

7 Who is it also of you, that hauing a seruant plowing or feeding cattell, woulde say vnto him by and by, when hee were come from the fielde, Goe, and sit downe at table?

Which of you that has a servant plowing, or feeding a flock, will say to him immediately, when he comes in from the field, Go and recline at table?

8 And woulde not rather say to him, Dresse wherewith I may suppe, and girde thy selfe, and serue mee, till I haue eaten and drunken, and afterward eate thou, and drinke thou?

But will he not say to him, Make ready my supper, and gird yourself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunk; and afterward, you shall eat and drink?

9 Doeth he thanke that seruant, because hee did that which was commanded vnto him? I trowe not.

Does he thank that servant, because he did what was commanded? I think not.

10 So likewise yee, when yee haue done all those things, which are commanded you, say, We are vnprofitable seruants: wee haue done that which was our duetie to doe.

So also you, when you shall have done all things that you arc commanded to do, say, We are unprofitable servants; for we have done what was our duty to do.

11 And so it was when he went to Hierusalem, that he passed through the middes of Samaria, and Galile.

And it came to pass, as he was journeying to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And as hee entred into a certaine towne, there met him tenne men that were lepers, which stoode a farre off.

And as he entered a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood at a distance.

13 And they lift vp their voyces and saide, Iesus, Master, haue mercie on vs.

And they lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw them, he said vnto them, Goe, shewe your selues vnto the Priestes. And it came to passe, that as they went, they were clensed.

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

15 Then one of them, when hee sawe that hee, was healed, turned backe, and with a loude voyce praised God,

But, one of them, seeing that he was restored to health, turned back, and, with a loud voice, glorified God.

16 And fell downe on his face at his feete, and gaue him thankes: and he was a Samaritan.

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

17 And Iesus answered, and said, Are there not tenne clensed? but where are the nine?

And Jesus answered and said: Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 There is none founde that returned to giue God praise, saue this stranger.

Were there none found to return and give glory to God, but this one of another race?

19 And he saide vnto him, Arise, goe thy way, thy faith hath saued thee.

And he said to him: Arise, and go; your faith has saved you.

20 And when hee was demaunded of the Pharises, when the kingdome of God shoulde come, he answered them, and said, The kingdome of God commeth not with obseruation.

And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said: The kingdom of God comes not so as to attract attention;

21 Neither shall men say, Loe here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdome of God is within you.

nor shall it be said, Lo here! or Lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is among you.

22 And he saide vnto the disciples, The dayes will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the dayes of the Sonne of man, and ye shall not see it.

And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it.

23 Then they shall say to you, Behold here, or beholde there: but goe not thither, neither follow them.

And they shall say to you, Lo here! or Lo there! go not after them, nor follow them.

24 For as the lightening that lighteneth out of the one part vnder heauen, shineth vnto the other part vnder heauen, so shall the Sonne of man be in his day.

For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven, shines to another part under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.

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

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

26 And as it was in the dayes of Noe, so shall it be in the dayes of the Sonne of man.

And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

27 They ate, they dranke, they married wiues, and gaue in marriage vnto the day that Noe went into the Arke: and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day in which Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

28 Likewise also, as it was in the dayes of Lot: they ate, they dranke, they bought, they solde, they planted, they built.

In like manner also, as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heauen, and destroyed them all.

but in the day in which Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 After these ensamples shall it be in the day when the Sonne of man is reueiled.

Even thus shall it be in the day in which the Son of man is revealed.

31 At that day hee that is vpon the house, and his stuffe in ye house, let him not come downe to take it out: and he that is in the fielde likewise, let him not turne backe to that he left behinde.

In that day, let not him that is on the house-top, and whose goods are in the house, come down to take them away. Likewise, he that is in the field, let him not turn back.

32 Remember Lots wife.

Remember Lot’s wife.

33 Whosoeuer will seeke to saue his soule, shall loose it: and whosoeuer shall loose it, shall get it life.

Whoever will seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life, shall save it.

34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed: the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe left.

I say to you, on that night two men shall be in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

35 Two women shalbe grinding together: the one shalbe taken, and the other shalbe left.

Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36 Two shalbe in the fielde: one shalbe receiued, and another shalbe left.

Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

37 And they answered, and saide to him, Where, Lord? And he said vnto them, Wheresoeuer the body is, thither shall also the eagles bee gathered together.

And they answered and said to him. Where, Lord? And he said to them: Where the body is, there will the vultures be gathered.
