< 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.
And he said to his disciples, It cannot be but that offences come, but woe [to 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 [more] profitable for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should be a snare to one of these little ones.
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 thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should 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 should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times should return to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.
5 And the Apostles saide vnto the Lord, Increase our faith.
And the apostles said to the Lord, Give more faith to us.
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.
But the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye had said to this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed 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?
But which of you [is there] who, having a bondman ploughing or shepherding, when he comes in out of the field, will say, Come and lie down immediately to 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, Prepare what I shall sup on, and gird thyself and serve me that I may eat and drink; and after that thou shalt eat and drink?
9 Doeth he thanke that seruant, because hee did that which was commanded vnto him? I trowe not.
Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered? I judge 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.
Thus ye also, when ye shall have done all things that have been ordered you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen; we have done what it 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 going up 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 into a certain village ten leprous men met him, who stood afar off.
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 compassion 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 seeing [them] he said to them, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as they were going they were cleansed.
15 Then one of them, when hee sawe that hee, was healed, turned backe, and with a loude voyce praised God,
And one of them, seeing that he was cured, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,
16 And fell downe on his face at his feete, and gaue him thankes: and he was a Samaritan.
and fell on [his] face at his feet giving 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 answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but the nine, where [are they]?
18 There is none founde that returned to giue God praise, saue this stranger.
There have not been found to return and give glory to God save this stranger.
19 And he saide vnto him, Arise, goe thy way, thy faith hath saued thee.
And he said to him, Rise up and go thy way: thy faith has made thee well.
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 having been asked by the Pharisees, When is the kingdom of God coming? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation;
21 Neither shall men say, Loe here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdome of God is within you.
nor shall they say, Lo here, or, Lo there; for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of 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 the disciples, Days are coming, when ye shall 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 will say to you, Lo here, or Lo there; go not, 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 shines which lightens from [one end] under heaven to [the other end] under heaven, thus 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 of 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 took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall it be 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, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all [of them];
28 Likewise also, as it was in the dayes of Lot: they ate, they dranke, they bought, they solde, they planted, they built.
and in like manner as took place 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 on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all [of them]:
30 After these ensamples shall it be in the day when the Sonne of man is reueiled.
after this [manner] shall it be in the day that 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, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
Remember the wife of Lot.
33 Whosoeuer will seeke to saue his soule, shall loose it: and whosoeuer shall loose it, shall get it life.
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve 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, In that night there shall be two [men] upon one bed; one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.
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 seized and the other shall be let go.
36 Two shalbe in the fielde: one shalbe receiued, and another shalbe left.
[Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be seized and the other let go.]
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 answering they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together.
