1 Jesus said to his disciples. "It is not possible but that occasions of stumbling should occur, but woe to him through whom they come!

He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come.

2 "It were well for him if a millstone were tied about his neck, and he were hurled into the sea, rather than he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3 "Be on you guard! "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents forgive him.

Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.

4 "And if he sins against you seven times a day, and seven times a day turns to you saying ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him."

And if he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him."

5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"

The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."

6 "If your faith," answered Jesus, "were like a grain of mustard-seed, you would say to this tree, ‘Tear yourself up and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

The Lord said, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

7 "But who of you who has a slave plowing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he is come in from the field, ‘Come at once, sit down to dinner,’

But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down at the table'?

8 "and will not rather tell him, ‘Get ready something for me to eat, and gird yourself to wait on me until I have eaten and drunken. Then you shall eat and drink.’

But will he not say to him, 'Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink, and afterward you can eat and drink'?

9 "Does he think the slave because he did the things that were commanded?

Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded?

10 "Even so, you also, after you have done all the things that are commanded you, should say, ‘We are but slaves, we have only done what it was our duty to do.’"

Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.'"

11 Now it happened that as he went his way to Jerusalem, he passed between Samaria and Galilee.

It happened as he was on his way to Urishlim, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galila.

12 And as he was going certain village ten lepers met him.

As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.

13 They stood at a distance and lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, take pity on us."

They lifted up their voices, saying, "Yeshua, Master, have mercy on us."

14 Perceiving this he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priest." And as they went they were made clean.

When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." It happened that as they went, they were cleansed.

15 Now one of them, as he saw that he was cured, came back, glorifying God in a loud voice,

One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.

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

He fell on his face at Yeshua's feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

17 "Were there not ten cleansed?" asked Jesus, "but where are the nine?

Yeshua answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

18 "Are there none found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner?"

Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?"

19 And he said unto him, "Rise and go, your faith has healed you."

Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."

20 The Pharisees asked him when the kingdom of God was coming. He answered. "The kingdom of God does not come so that you can catch sight of it,

Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The Kingdom of God does not come with observation;

21 "nor will they say, ‘Look here it is!’ or ‘See there!’ - for the kingdom of God is now in your midst."

neither will they say, 'Look, here.' or, 'Look, there.' for the Kingdom of God is within you."

22 Then he said turning to his disciples. "The days will come when you shall long to see one of the days of the Son of man, you shall not see it.

He said to the disciples, "The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

23 "And they shall say to you, ‘Lo there! Lo there!’ But do not go away or follow them.

And they will tell you, 'Look, there.' or 'Look, here.' Do not go away, nor follow after them,

24 "For as the lightning when it lightens out of the one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.

26 "And this was in the time of Noah, so will it be in the time of the Son of man.

As it happened in the days of Nukh, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.

27 "Men were eating and drinking; they were marrying and being married, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Nukh entered into the box-shaped ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28 "The same was true in the time of Lot; they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building;

Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

29 "but on the day that Lot left Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

but in the day that Lot went out from Sedum, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.

30 "In the same manner it shall be in the day that the Son of man shall be revealed.

31 "On that day, if a man is on the housetop and his goods inside, let him not go down to take them away; nor should a man in the field turn back.

37 "Where, Master?" they asked him. "Where the dead body is," he answered, "there will the vultures be gathered together."

They, answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together."
