< Luke 17 >
1 And Jhesu seide to hise disciplis, It is impossible that sclaundris come not; but wo to that man, bi whom thei comen.
Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe [unto him], through whom they come!
2 It is more profitable to him, if a mylne stoon be put aboute his necke, and he be cast in to the see, than that he sclaundre oon of these litle.
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
3 Take ye hede you silf; if thi brothir hath synned ayens thee, blame hym; and if he do penaunce, foryyue hym.
Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4 And if seuene sithis in the dai he do synne ayens thee, and seuene sithis in the dai he be conuertid to thee, and seie, It forthenkith me, foryyue thou hym.
And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
5 And the apostlis seiden to the Lord, Encrese to vs feith.
And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord seide, If ye han feith as the corn of seneuei, ye schulen seie to this more tre, Be thou drawun vp bi the rote, and be ouerplauntid in to the see, and it schal obeie to you.
And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
7 But who of you hath a seruaunt erynge, or lesewynge oxis, which seith to hym, whanne he turneth ayen fro the feeld, Anoon go, and sitte to mete;
But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
8 and seith not to hym, Make redi, that Y soupe, and girde thee, and serue me, while Y ete and drynke, and aftir this thou schalt ete and drynke;
And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
9 whether he hath grace to that seruaunt, for he dide that that he comaundide hym?
Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
10 Nay, Y gesse. So ye, whanne ye han don alle thingis that ben comaundid to you, seie ye, We ben vnprofitable seruauntis, we han do that that we ouyten to do.
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
11 And it was do, the while Jhesus wente in to Jerusalem, he passide thorou the myddis of Samarie, and Galilee.
And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And whanne he entride in to a castel, ten leprouse men camen ayens hym, whiche stoden afer,
And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13 and reiseden her voys, and seiden, Jhesu, comaundoure, haue merci on vs.
And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And as he say hem, he seide, Go ye, `schewe ye you to the prestis. And it was don, the while thei wenten, thei weren clensid.
And when he saw [them], he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And oon of hem, as he saiy that he was clensid, wente ayen, magnifiynge God with grete vois.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 And he fel doun on the face bifore hise feet, and dide thankyngis; and this was a Samaritan.
And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jhesus answerde, and seide, Whether ten ben not clensid, and where ben the nyne?
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where [are] the nine?
18 There is noon foundun, that turnede ayen, and yaf glorie to God, but this alien.
There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19 And he seide to hym, Rise vp, go thou; for thi feith hath maad thee saaf.
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
20 And he was axid of Farisees, whanne the rewme of God cometh. And he answerde to hem, and seide, The rewme of God cometh not with aspiyng,
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 nether thei schulen seie, Lo! here, or lo there; for lo! the rewme of God is with ynne you.
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22 And he seide to hise disciplis, Daies schulen come, whanne ye schulen desire to se o dai of mannus sone, and ye schulen not se.
And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see [it].
23 And thei schulen seie to you, Lo! here, and lo there. Nyle ye go, nether sue ye;
And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after [them], nor follow [them].
24 for as leyt schynynge from vndur heuene schyneth in to tho thingis that ben vndur heuene, so schal mannus sone be in his dai.
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one [part] under heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25 But first it bihoueth hym to suffre many thingis, and to be repreued of this generacioun.
But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26 And as it was doon in the daies of Noe, so it schal be in the daies of mannys sone.
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 Thei eeten and drunkun, weddiden wyues, and weren youun to weddyngis, til in to the dai in the whych Noe entride in to the schip; and the greet flood cam, and loste alle.
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Also as it was don in the daies of Loth, thei eeten and drunkun, bouyten and seelden, plauntiden and bildiden; but the dai that Loth wente out of Sodome,
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 the Lord reynede fier and brymstoon fro heuene, and loste alle.
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all.
30 Lijk this thing it schal be, in what dai mannys sone schal be schewid.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that our he that is in the roof, and his vessels in the hous, come he not doun to take hem awei; and he that schal be in the feeld, also turne not ayen bihynde.
In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Be ye myndeful of the wijf of Loth.
Remember Lot’s wife.
33 Who euer seketh to make his lijf saaf, schal leese it; and who euer leesith it, schal quykene it.
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34 But Y seie to you, in that nyyt twei schulen be in o bed, oon schal be takun, and the tothir forsakun;
I tell you, in that night there shall be two [men] in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 twei wymmen schulen be gryndynge togidir, `the toon schal be takun, and `the tother forsakun; twei in a feeld, `the toon schal be takun, and `the tother left.
Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Thei answeren, and seien to hym, Where, Lord?
Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 Which seide to hym, Where euer the bodi schal be, thidur schulen be gaderid togidere also the eglis.
And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body [is], thither will the eagles be gathered together.
