< Luke 17 >

1 And he said to his disciples: “It is impossible for scandals not to occur. But woe to him through whom they come!
And he said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than to lead astray one of these little ones.
It were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Be attentive to yourselves. If your brother has sinned against you, correct him. And if he has repented, forgive him.
Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4 And if he has sinned against you seven times a day, and seven times a day has turned back to you, saying, ‘I am sorry,’ then forgive him.”
And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
5 And the Apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 But the Lord said: “If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you may say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be transplanted into the sea.’ And it would obey you.
And the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would have obeyed you.
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, would say to him, as he was returning from the field, ‘Come in immediately; sit down to eat,’
But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat;
8 and would not say to him: ‘Prepare my dinner; gird yourself and minister to me, while I eat and drink; and after these things, you shall 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 Would he be grateful to that servant, for doing what he commanded him to do?
Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded?
10 I think not. So too, when you have done all these things that have been taught to you, you should say: ‘We are useless servants. We have done what we should have done.’”
Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do.
11 And it happened that, while he was traveling to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as he was entering a certain town, ten leprous men met him, and they stood at a distance.
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 their voice, saying, “Jesus, Teacher, take pity on us.”
and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that, as they were going, they were cleansed.
And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned, magnifying God with a loud voice.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God;
16 And he fell face down before his feet, giving thanks. And this one was a Samaritan.
and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And in response, Jesus said: “Were not ten made clean? And so where are the nine?
And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 Was no one found who would return and give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?
19 And he said to him: “Rise up, go forth. For your faith has saved you.”
And he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
20 Then he was questioned by the Pharisees: “When does the kingdom of God arrive?” And in response, he said to them: “The kingdom of God arrives unobserved.
And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 And so, they will not say, ‘Behold, it is here,’ or ‘Behold, it is there.’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
22 And he said to his disciples: “The time will come when you will desire to see one day of the Son of man, and you will not see 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 will say to you, ‘Behold, he is here,’ and ‘Behold, he is there.’ Do not choose to go out, and do not follow them.
And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after [them]:
24 For just as lightning flashes from under heaven and shines to whatever is under heaven, so also will the Son of man be in his day.
for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.
25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.
26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of man.
And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They were eating and drinking; they were taking wives and being given in marriage, even until the day that Noah entered the ark. And the flood came and destroyed them all.
They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 It shall be similar to what happened in the days of Lot. They were eating and drinking; they were buying and selling; they were planting and building.
Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 Then, on the day that Lot departed from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and it destroyed them all.
but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:
30 According to these things, so shall it be in the day when the Son of man will be revealed.
after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that hour, whoever will be on the rooftop, with his goods in the house, let him not descend to take them. And whoever will be in the field, similarly, let him not turn back.
In that day, he which shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back.
32 Remember Lot’s wife.
Remember Lot’s wife.
33 Whoever has sought to save his life, will lose it; and whoever has lost it, will bring it back to life.
Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose [his life] shall preserve it.
34 I say to you, in that night, there will be two in one bed. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind.
I say unto you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Two will be at the grindstone together. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind. Two will be in the field. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind.”
There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
36 Responding, they said to him, “Where, Lord?”
37 And he said to them, “Wherever the body will be, in that place also, the eagles shall be gathered together.”
And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body [is], thither will the eagles also be gathered together.
