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 he said to his disciples, It is impossible that offences should not come; but wo to him through whom 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 would be advantageous for him, if a milstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea, rather than offend one of these little 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 heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin against thee, reprove him; and if he repent, forgive 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 if seven times in the day he sin against thee, and seven times in the day return to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

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

And the disciples said unto 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 a grain of mustard, ye might say to that sycamore-tree, Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea; and it would 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?

But which of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, when he cometh from the field, will say immediately, Come, sit down 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 will he not rather say, Prepare for me to sup, and gird thyself, and wait upon me, till I eat and drink; and after that, thou shalt eat and drink thyself?

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

Doth he hold it as a favour from that servant, that he did the things which were ordered him? I think 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 also ye, when ye have done all things commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: for we have but done what was our duty to do.

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

And it came to pass, as he was going towards Jerusalem, he passed also through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

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

And as he was entering a certain village, ten leprous men met him, who stood at a distance:

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

and they lift up their voice, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!

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 looking towards them, he said, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that as they were on the road, they were made clean.

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

Then one of them, seeing that he was cured, returned, and with a loud voice gave glory to God,

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

and fell prostrate at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

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

Then Jesus spake and said, were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

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

There are none found returning to give glory to God, but this alien.

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

And he said to him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath saved 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 being asked by one of the Pharisees, When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

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

neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom 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];

Then said he to the disciples, The days will come when ye shall eagerly desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it.

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

And they will say to you, Lo here! and lo there! go not after them, nor 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 lightning flashing from one quarter under heaven, shineth to another quarter under heaven; so shall the Son of man also be at his day.

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

But he must first suffer many things, and be rejected by 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 days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the coming of the Son 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 did eat, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge 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;

Even so, likewise, it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

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

but the day Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

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

Just so will it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.

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;

In that day, let not the man who is upon the roof, and his goods in the house, go down to carry them away: and he that is in the field, in like manner, let him not return for any things behind him.

32 remember the wife of Lot.

Remember Lot’s wife.

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

Whosoever seeketh to preserve his life shall lose it; and whosoever would lose it, shall preserve it.

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 two shall be in the same bed; the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed. Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed.

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

Two shall be in the field; the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed.

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

And they answering, said to him, Where, Lord? And he said, Wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
