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 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 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 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 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 trespass against thee, rebuke 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 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 apostles said to the Lord, 'Add to us faith;'

And the apostles 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 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 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 feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

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

Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow 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 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 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 went to Jerusalem, that he passed 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 entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

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

And they lifted up their voices, and said, 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 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 one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God,

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

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

And fell down on his face 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?

And Jesus answering 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 not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

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

And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

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 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 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];

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

And they shall say to you, See here; or, see 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, 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 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 rejected 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 days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days 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 wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 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 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 same day that 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;

Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is 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, 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 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 shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life 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;

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

Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36 two men shall be in the field, 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 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 said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
