Luke 17

1 And He said to the disciples, “It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but woe [to him] through whom they come;

And he said to his disciples: “It is impossible for scandals not to occur. But woe to him through whom they come!

2 it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.

It would be better for him if a millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than to lead astray one of these little ones.

3 Take heed to yourselves, and if your brother may sin in regard to you, rebuke him, and if he may change his mind, forgive him,

Be attentive to yourselves. If your brother has sinned against you, correct him. And if he has repented, forgive him.

4 and if seven times in the day he may sin against you, and seven times in the day may return to you, saying, I change my mind, you will forgive him.”

And if he has sinned against you seven times a day, and seven times a day has turned back to you, saying, ‘I am sorry,’ then forgive him.”

5 And the apostles said to the LORD, “Add to us faith”;

And the Apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

6 and the LORD said, “If you had faith as a grain of mustard, you would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

But the Lord said: “If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you may say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be transplanted into the sea.’ And it would obey you.

7 But who is he of you—having a servant plowing or feeding—who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come, recline at once?

But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, would say to him, as he was returning from the field, ‘Come in immediately; sit down to eat,’

8 But will not [rather] say to him, Prepare what I may dine, and having girded yourself around, minister to me, until I eat and drink, and after these things you will eat and drink?

and would not say to him: ‘Prepare my dinner; gird yourself and minister to me, while I eat and drink; and after these things, you shall eat and drink?’

9 Does he have favor to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not.

Would he be grateful to that servant, for doing what he commanded him to do?

10 So also you, when you may have done all the things directed you, say, We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do we have done.”

I think not. So too, when you have done all these things that have been taught to you, you should say: ‘We are useless servants. We have done what we should have done.’”

11 And it came to pass, in His going on to Jerusalem, that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee,

And it happened that, while he was traveling to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 and He entering into a certain village, there ten leprous men met Him, who stood far off,

And as he was entering a certain town, ten leprous men met him, and they stood at a distance.

13 and they lifted up the voice, saying, “Jesus, Master, deal kindly with us”;

And they lifted up their voice, saying, “Jesus, Teacher, take pity on us.”

14 and having seen [them], He said to them, “Having gone on, show yourselves to the priests”; and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed,

And when he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that, as they were going, they were cleansed.

15 and one of them having seen that he was healed turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,

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

16 and he fell on [his] face at His feet, giving thanks to Him, and he was a Samaritan.

And he fell face down before his feet, giving thanks. And this one was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, “Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine—where?

And in response, Jesus said: “Were not ten made clean? And so where are the nine?

18 There were none found who turned back to give glory to God, except this foreigner”;

Was no one found who would return and give glory to God, except this foreigner?”

19 and He said to him, “Having risen, be going on, your faith has saved you.”

And he said to him: “Rise up, go forth. For your faith has saved you.”

20 And having been questioned by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God comes, He answered them and said, “The Kingdom of God does not come with observation;

Then he was questioned by the Pharisees: “When does the kingdom of God arrive?” And in response, he said to them: “The kingdom of God arrives unobserved.

21 nor will they say, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.”

And so, they will not say, ‘Behold, it is here,’ or ‘Behold, it is there.’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

22 And He said to His disciples, “Days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man and you will not behold [it];

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

23 and they will say to you, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; you may not go away, nor follow;

And they will say to you, ‘Behold, he is here,’ and ‘Behold, he is there.’ Do not choose to go out, and do not follow them.

24 for as the lightning is flashing out of one [part] under the sky [and] shines to the other [part] under the sky, so will the Son of Man also be in His day;

For just as lightning flashes from under heaven and shines to whatever is under heaven, so also will the Son of man be in his day.

25 and first it is necessary for Him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

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

26 And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of Man;

And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of man.

27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the Ark, and the flood came, and destroyed all;

They were eating and drinking; they were taking wives and being given in marriage, even until the day that Noah entered the ark. And the flood came and destroyed them all.

28 in like manner also, 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;

It shall be similar to what happened in the days of Lot. They were eating and drinking; they were buying and selling; they were planting and building.

29 and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed all.

Then, on the day that Lot departed from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and it destroyed them all.

30 According to these things it will be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;

According to these things, so shall it be in the day when the Son of man will be revealed.

31 in that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, do not let him come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, do not let him turn backward;

In that hour, whoever will be on the rooftop, with his goods in the house, let him not descend to take them. And whoever will be in the field, similarly, let him not turn back.

32 remember the wife of Lot.

Remember Lot’s wife.

33 Whoever may seek to save his life, will lose it; and whoever may lose it, will preserve it.

Whoever has sought to save his life, will lose it; and whoever has lost it, will bring it back to life.

34 I say to you, in that night there will be two [men] on one bed: one will be taken, and the other will be left;

I say to you, in that night, there will be two in one bed. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind.

35 two [women] will be grinding at the same place together: one will be taken, and the other will be left;

Two will be at the grindstone together. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind. Two will be in the field. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind.”

36 [[two [men] will be in the field: one will be taken, and the other left.”]]

Responding, they said to him, “Where, Lord?”

37 And they answering say to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together.”

And he said to them, “Wherever the body will be, in that place also, the eagles shall be gathered together.”
