< 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;
Then said He to the disciples, It is impossible that offences should not come: but wo 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 were better for him that a milstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to offend.
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 trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he 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 trespass against thee seven times a day, and seven times in a day 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 unto 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.
And the Lord said, If ye had faith but as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this sycamine-tree, Be thou rooted up and planted in 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, will say to him, as soon as he comes in from the field, Come hither and sit down at 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 rather say to him, Get ready my supper, and gird thyself, and wait upon me, till I have done, and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink.
9 Does he have favor to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not.
Is he obliged to that servant for doing what he was ordered?
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 likewise ye, when ye have done all things that were commanded you, say we are unprofitable servants, for we have done only what we ought 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 as He was going 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 entered into a certain village, there met Him ten men that were lepers:
13 and they lifted up the voice, saying, “Jesus, Master, deal kindly with us”;
who stood at a distance, and lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus master, have 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 unto them, Go and 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, perceiving that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice glorifying God:
16 and he fell on [his] face at His feet, giving thanks to Him, and he was a Samaritan.
and fell prostrate 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 answered and said, Were not all the ten cleansed? and where are the other nine?
18 There were none found who turned back to give glory to God, except this foreigner”;
Are there none returning to give glory to God, but this stranger?
19 and He said to him, “Having risen, be going on, your faith has saved you.”
And He said to him, Arise, go thy way; thy faith hath saved thee.
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 being asked by the pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, He answered and said, the kingdom of God cometh not with observation.
21 nor will they say, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.”
Neither shall they say, Behold it is here, or behold it is there; for 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 the disciples, the time will come, 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, Behold, He is here, or behold He is there: but go not after them, 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 which lightneth from the one part of heaven shineth to the other: so also 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 He must suffer many things first, 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 as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also 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, drinking, marrying, and being married, till the day that Noah went into 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;
And as it was likewise in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building:
29 and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed all.
but the very day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 According to these things it will be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;
Thus 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, whoever shall be on the house-top, and his goods in the house, let him not come down into it to take them away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 remember the wife of Lot.
Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it;
33 Whoever may seek to save his life, will lose it; and whoever may lose it, will preserve it.
and whosoever will venture his life, 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;
In that night there shall be two in one bed; the one shall be taken and the other left:
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 taken and the other left:
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 taken and the other left.
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 they answered and said unto Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, where the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
