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 cannot be but that offences come, but woe [to him] by 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 [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 heed to yourselves, and if your brother may sin in regard to you, rebuke him, and if he may change his mind, forgive him,

Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should repent, 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 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 said to the LORD, “Add to us faith”;

And the apostles said to the Lord, Give more faith to us.

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 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 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 [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 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?

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

Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered? I judge not.

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.”

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

And it came to pass as he was going up to Jerusalem, that 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 entered into a certain village ten leprous men met him, who stood afar off.

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

And they lifted up [their] voice saying, Jesus, Master, have compassion 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 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 and one of them having seen that he was healed turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,

And one of them, seeing that he was cured, turned back, glorifying 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 fell on [his] face at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

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

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

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

There have not been found to return and give glory to God save this stranger.

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

And he said to him, Rise up and go thy way: thy faith has made thee well.

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;

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 nor will they say, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; for behold, the Kingdom 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 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 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 and they will say to you, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; you may not go away, nor follow;

And they will say to you, Lo here, or Lo there; go not, nor 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 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 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 of 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 as it took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall 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 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 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;

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

but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all [of them]:

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

after this [manner] shall it be in the day that the Son of man is 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 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.

32 remember the wife of Lot.

Remember the wife of Lot.

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

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

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 shall be two [men] upon one bed; one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.

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

Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.

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

[Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be seized and the other let go.]

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 answering they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together.
