Luke 17

1 And he said unto the disciples, 'It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but woe [to him] through whom they come;

Then said he to his disciples, It can not be auoided, but that offences will come, but wo be to him by whome they come.

2 it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.

It is better for him that a great milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were cast into ye sea, then that he should offende one of these litle ones.

3 'Take heed to yourselves, and, if thy brother may sin in regard to thee, rebuke him, and if he may reform, forgive him,

Take heede to your selues: if thy brother trespasse against thee, rebuke him: and if hee repent, forgiue him.

4 and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.'

And though he sinne against thee seuen times in a day, and seuen times in a day turne againe to thee, saying, It repenteth mee, thou shalt forgiue him.

5 And the apostles said to the Lord, 'Add to us faith;'

And the Apostles saide vnto the Lord, Increase our faith.

6 and the Lord said, 'If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye 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, as much as is a graine of mustard seede, and should say vnto this mulberie tree, Plucke thy selfe vp by the rootes, and plant thy selfe in the sea, it should euen obey you.

7 'But, who is he of you — having a servant ploughing or feeding — who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come near, recline at meat?

Who is it also of you, that hauing a seruant plowing or feeding cattell, woulde say vnto him by and by, when hee were come from the fielde, Goe, and sit downe at table?

8 but will not [rather] say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and having girded thyself about, minister to me, till I eat and drink, and after these things thou shalt eat and drink?

And woulde not rather say to him, Dresse wherewith I may suppe, and girde thy selfe, and serue mee, till I haue eaten and drunken, and afterward eate thou, and drinke thou?

9 Hath he favour to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not.

Doeth he thanke that seruant, because hee did that which was commanded vnto him? I trowe not.

10 'So also ye, when ye may have done all the things directed you, say — We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do — we have done.'

So likewise yee, when yee haue done all those things, which are commanded you, say, We are vnprofitable seruants: wee haue done that which was our duetie to doe.

11 And it came to pass, in his going on to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee,

And so it was when he went to Hierusalem, that he passed through the middes of Samaria, and Galile.

12 and he entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off,

And as hee entred into a certaine towne, there met him tenne men that were lepers, which stoode a farre off.

13 and they lifted up the voice, saying, 'Jesus, master, deal kindly with us;'

And they lift vp their voyces and saide, Iesus, Master, haue mercie on vs.

14 and having seen [them], he said to them, 'Having gone on, shew yourselves to the priests;' and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed,

And when he saw them, he said vnto them, Goe, shewe your selues vnto the Priestes. And it came to passe, that as they went, they were clensed.

15 and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God,

Then one of them, when hee sawe that hee, was healed, turned backe, and with a loude voyce praised God,

16 and he fell upon [his] face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan.

And fell downe on his face at his feete, and gaue him thankes: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, 'Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine — where?

And Iesus answered, and said, Are there not tenne clensed? but where are the nine?

18 There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;'

There is none founde that returned to giue God praise, saue this stranger.

19 and he said to him, 'Having risen, be going on, thy faith hath saved thee.'

And he saide vnto him, Arise, goe thy way, thy faith hath saued thee.

20 And having been questioned by the Pharisees, when the reign of God doth come, he answered them, and said, 'The reign of God doth not come with observation;

And when hee was demaunded of the Pharises, when the kingdome of God shoulde come, he answered them, and said, The kingdome of God commeth not with obseruation.

21 nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the reign of God is within you.'

Neither shall men say, Loe here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdome of God is within you.

22 And he said unto his disciples, 'Days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not behold [it];

And he saide vnto the disciples, The dayes will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the dayes of the Sonne of man, and ye shall not see it.

23 and they shall say to you, Lo, here; or lo, there; ye may not go away, nor follow;

Then they shall say to you, Behold here, or beholde there: but goe not thither, neither follow them.

24 for as the lightning that is lightening out of the one [part] under heaven, to the other part under heaven doth shine, so shall be also the Son of Man in his day;

For as the lightening that lighteneth out of the one part vnder heauen, shineth vnto the other part vnder heauen, so shall the Sonne of man be in his day.

25 and first it behoveth him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

But first must he suffer many things, and be reprooued of this generation.

26 'And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man;

And as it was in the dayes of Noe, so shall it be in the dayes of the Sonne of man.

27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed all;

They ate, they dranke, they married wiues, and gaue in marriage vnto the day that Noe went into the Arke: 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;

Likewise also, as it was in the dayes of Lot: they ate, they dranke, they bought, they solde, they planted, they built.

29 and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all.

But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heauen, and destroyed them all.

30 'According to these things it shall be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;

After these ensamples shall it be in the day when the Sonne of man is reueiled.

31 in that day, he who shall be on the house top, and his vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, let him not turn backward;

At that day hee that is vpon the house, and his stuffe in ye house, let him not come downe to take it out: and he that is in the fielde likewise, let him not turne backe to that he left behinde.

32 remember the wife of Lot.

Remember Lots wife.

33 Whoever may seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever may lose it, shall preserve it.

Whosoeuer will seeke to saue his soule, shall loose it: and whosoeuer shall loose it, shall get it life.

34 'I say to you, In that night, there shall be two men on one couch, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;

I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed: the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe left.

35 two women shall be grinding at the same place together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;

Two women shalbe grinding together: the one shalbe taken, and the other shalbe left.

36 two men shall be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other left.'

Two shalbe in the fielde: one shalbe receiued, and another shalbe left.

37 And they answering say to him, 'Where, sir?' and he said to them, 'Where the body [is], there will the eagles be gathered together.'

And they answered, and saide to him, Where, Lord? And he said vnto them, Wheresoeuer the body is, thither shall also the eagles bee gathered together.
