< Luke 17 >
1 He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come.
And he said unto his disciples: —It is, impossible, that occasions of stumbling should not come, notwithstanding, alas! for him through whom they do come:
2 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.
It profiteth him, if, a mill-stone, is hung about his neck, and he is cast into the sea, than that he cause, one, of these little ones, to stumble.
3 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
Be taking heed to yourselves, —If thy brother sin, rebuke him, and, if he repent, forgive him;
4 And if he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him."
Even if, seven times a day, he sin against thee, and, seven times, turn to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
And the apostles said unto the Lord—Bestow on us faith!
6 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.
And the Lord said—If ye have faith like a grain of mustard-seed, ye should be saying unto [this] mulberry-tree—Be uprooted! and be planted in the sea, —and it should obey you.
7 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'?
But, who from among you, having, a servant, plowing or keeping sheep, when he hath come in out of the field, will say to him—Straightway, come, and recline; —
8 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'?
on the contrary, will not say to him—Make somewhat ready, that I may dine, —and, girding thyself, be ministering unto me, until I have eaten and drunk; and, after these things, thou, shalt eat and drink?
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded?
Doth he offer thanks unto the servant, because he hath done the things enjoined?
10 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.'"
Thus, ye also, when ye have done all the things enjoined upon you, say—Unprofitable servants, are we, —What we were bound to do, we have done!
11 It happened as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
And it came to pass, during the journey unto Jerusalem, that, he, was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
And, as he was entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood still, afar off;
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."
and, they, lifted up a voice, saying—Jesus! Master! have mercy on us!
14 When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." It happened that as they went, they were cleansed.
And, beholding, he said unto them—Go your way, and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they withdrew, they were cleansed.
15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
But, one from among them, beholding that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice, glorifying God, —
16 He fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
and fell prostrate at his feet, giving him thanks; and, he, was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
And Jesus, answering, said—Were not, the ten, cleansed? [but, ] where, are, the nine?
18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?"
Have none been found returning to give glory to God, save this one of another race?
19 Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."
And he said unto him—Arise and go thy way: thy faith, hath saved thee.
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation;
And, being questioned by the Pharisees, When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered them and said—The kingdom of God cometh not with narrow watching;
21 neither will they say, 'Look, here.' or, 'Look, there.' for the kingdom of God is within you."
Neither shall they say—Lo, here! or, There. For lo! the kingdom of God, is, among you.
22 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.
But he said unto the disciples—There will come days—when ye will long to see, one of the days of the Son of Man, and shall not see.
23 And they will tell you, 'Look, there.' or 'Look, here.' Do not go away, nor follow after them,
And they will say unto you, Lo there! or, Lo here! Do not [depart, and do not] pursue.
24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.
For, just as, the lightning, flashing out of the one part under heaven, unto the other part under heaven, shineth, so, shall be, the Son of Man.
25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
But, first, he must needs suffer, many things, and be rejected by this generation.
26 As it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.
And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so, will it be, even in the days of the Son of Man:
27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the box-shaped ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, —until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
In like manner, 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, —
29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.
But, on the day Lot came out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: —
30 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
According to the same things, will it be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
31 In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his utensils in the house, let him not go down, to take them away! And, he that is in the field, in like manner, let him not turn unto the things behind,
Bear in mind the wife of Lot! Whosoever shall seek to make his life his own, shall lose it,
33 Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will preserve it.
But, whosoever shall lose it, shall give it a living birth.
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. The one will be taken, and the other will be left.
I say unto you—On the selfsame night, there shall be two men on [one] bed, —the one, shall be taken near, and, the other, left behind;
35 Two will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.
There shall be two women grinding together, —the one, shall be taken near, and, the other, left behind.
37 They, answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together."
And, answering, they say unto him—Where, Lord? And, he, said unto them—Where the body is, there, the vultures also, will be gathered together.
