6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to that sycamore-tree, Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea; and it would obey you.

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 keeping sheep, when he cometh from the field, will say immediately, Come, sit down at table?

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 he not rather say, Prepare for me to sup, and gird thyself, and wait upon me, till I eat and drink; and after that, thou shalt eat and drink thyself?

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 hold it as a favour from that servant, that he did the things which were ordered him? I think not.

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

10 So also ye, when ye have done all things commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: for we have but done what was our duty to do.

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.

14 And looking towards them, he said, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that as they were on the road, they were made clean.

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 Then one of them, seeing that he was cured, returned, and with a loud voice gave glory to God,

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

16 and fell prostrate at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

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

17 Then Jesus spake and said, were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

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

18 There are none found returning to give glory to God, but this alien.

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

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

24 For as the lightning flashing from one quarter under heaven, shineth to another quarter under heaven; so shall the Son of man also be at his day.

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.

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.
