Luke 17

1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

And Jesus said to his disciples: It cannot be, but that offences will come: but woe to him, by whom they come.

2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Better for him were it, if a millstone were suspended to his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3 Take heed to yourselves: If your brother trespass against you, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother transgress, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4 And if he trespass against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day return to you, saying, I repent; you shall forgive him.

And if he shall offend against thee seven times in a day, and, seven times in a day, shall turn himself to thee, and say, I repent; forgive him.

5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

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

6 And the Lord said, If all of you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, all of you might say unto this sycamine tree, Be you plucked up by the root, and be you planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

He said to them: If ye had faith like a grain of mustard seed, ye might say to this mulberry-tree, Be thou torn up by the roots, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.

7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he has come from the field, Go and sit down to food?

Which of you, having a servant driving a yoke of oxen, or tending sheep, will say to him when he cometh from the field, Pass on at once, and recline for supper?

8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird yourself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward you shall eat and drink?

But he will say to him: Prepare for me what I may sup upon, and gird thy loins and serve me, until I have eaten and drunken; and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink.

9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I I think not not.

Hath he thanks for him, because the servant did what was commanded him? I think not.

10 So likewise all of you, when all of you shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are useless servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

So also ye, when ye have done all the things commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants, for we have done only what we were obligated to do.

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

And it occurred as Jesus advanced towards Jerusalem, that he passed among the Samaritans into Galilee.

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood far off:

And when he drew near to enter a certain village, there met him ten leprous men; and they stood at a distance,

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

and raised their voice, and said: Our Rabbi, Jesus, have compassion upon us.

14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

And when he had looked upon them, he said to them: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And as they were going, they were cleansed.

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

And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned, and with a loud voice, glorified God.

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

And he fell on his face, at the feet of Jesus, and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan.

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

And Jesus answered, and said: Were they not ten who were cleansed? Where are the nine?

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

Have they so gone as not to come and give glory to God; except this one, who is of another nation?

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go your way: your faith has made you whole.

And he said to him; Arise, and go: thy faith hath given thee life.

20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation:

And as some of the Pharisees asked him, When the kingdom of God would come; he answered, and said to them: The kingdom of God will not come with observables.

21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

And they will not say: Behold, here it is! or, Behold, it is there! For lo, the kingdom of God is within you

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

And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when ye will long to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye will not see them.

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

And if they shall say to you: Lo, here he is! or, Lo, there he is! go not forth.

24 For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

For, as the lightning darteth from the heavens, and illuminateth all beneath the heavens; so will the Son of man be, in his day.

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

But, previously, he is to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

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

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

27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

They ate and drank, they took wives and were given to husbands, until the day that Noah entered the ark; and the flood came, and destroyed every one.

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

And again, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate and drank, bought and sold, planted and built.

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

But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, the Lord rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed them all.

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

Thus will it be, in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.

31 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.

In that day, let him that is on the house-top, and his goods in the house, not come down to take them: and let him that is in the field, not return after what is behind him.

32 Remember Lot's wife.

Remember Lot's wife.

33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

He that desireth to preserve his life, will lose it; and he that will lose his life, shall preserve it.

34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

I tell you, that, in that night, two will be in one bed; one will be taken, and the other left.

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

And two females will be grinding together; one will be taken, and the other left.

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

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

37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where ever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

They answered, and said to him: Whither, our Lord? He said to them: Where the body is, there will the eagles assemble themselves.
