Luke 17
1 Then he said to his disciples: It is impossible that causes of offense should not come; but alas for him by whom they come!
And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.
2 It would be better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.
It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.
3 Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sin against you, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.
4 And if he sin against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to you and say, I repent, you shall forgive him.
And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.
5 And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.
And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.
6 And the Lord said: If you had faith like a grain of mustard, you might say to this sycamine-tree, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it should obey you.
And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.
7 Which of you that has a servant plowing, or feeding a flock, will say to him immediately, when he comes in from the field, Go and recline at table?
But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,
8 But will he not say to him, Make ready my supper, and gird yourself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunk; and afterward, you shall eat and drink?
Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?
9 Does he thank that servant, because he did what was commanded? I think not.
Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?
10 So also you, when you shall have done all things that you arc commanded to do, say, We are unprofitable servants; for we have done what was our duty to do.
In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.
11 And it came to pass, as he was journeying to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as he entered a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood at a distance.
And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,
13 And they lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said to them: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were made clean.
And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.
15 But, one of them, seeing that he was restored to health, turned back, and, with a loud voice, glorified God.
And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;
16 And he fell on his face at his feet, and gave him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.
17 And Jesus answered and said: Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?
18 Were there none found to return and give glory to God, but this one of another race?
Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?
19 And he said to him: Arise, and go; your faith has saved you.
And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.
20 And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said: The kingdom of God comes not so as to attract attention;
And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:
21 nor shall it be said, Lo here! or Lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is among you.
And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.
22 And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it.
And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.
23 And they shall say to you, Lo here! or Lo there! go not after them, nor follow them.
And if they say to you, See, it is there! or, It is here! do not go away, or go after them.
24 For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven, shines to another part under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.
For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.
25 But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.
26 And as it was 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 will it be in the day of the Son of man.
27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day in which Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.
28 In like manner also, as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;
29 but in the day in which Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day in which the Son of man is revealed.
So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.
31 In that day, let not him that is on the house-top, and whose goods are in the house, come down to take them away. Likewise, he that is in the field, let him not turn back.
On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.
32 Remember Lot’s wife.
Keep in mind Lot's wife.
33 Whoever will seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life, shall save it.
If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.
34 I say to you, on that night two men shall be in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 And they answered and said to him. Where, Lord? And he said to them: Where the body is, there will the vultures be gathered.
And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.
