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.
Then said He to the disciples, It is impossible that offences should not come: but wo to him by whom they 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 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 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother trespass against thee, 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."
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 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our 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 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 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 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 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'?
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 thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded?
Is he obliged to that servant for doing what he was ordered?
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.'"
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 It happened as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
And as He was going to Jerusalem, He passed 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 entered into a certain village, there met Him ten men that were lepers:
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."
who stood at a distance, and lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus master, have pity 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 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 One of them, when he saw 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 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 answered and said, Were not all the ten cleansed? and where are the other nine?
18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?"
Are there none returning to give glory to God, but this stranger?
19 Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."
And He said to him, Arise, 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 asked by the pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, He answered and said, the kingdom of God cometh not with observation.
21 neither will they say, 'Look, here.' or, 'Look, there.' for 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 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.
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 tell you, 'Look, there.' or 'Look, here.' Do not go away, nor follow after them,
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, 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 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 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
But He must suffer many things first, 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 was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also 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, drinking, marrying, and being married, till the day that Noah went 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;
And as it was likewise in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and 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 the very day that Lot went 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.
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 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, 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 Lot's wife.
Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it;
33 Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will preserve it.
and whosoever will venture his life, shall preserve it.
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.
In that night there shall be two in one bed; the one shall be taken and the other left:
35 Two will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.
two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken and the other left:
two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken and the other left.
37 They, answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also 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.
