Luke 17
1 And he said to his disciples, It cannot be but that offences come, but woe [to him] by whom they come!
He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
2 It would be [more] profitable for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should be a snare to one of these little ones.
It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should repent, forgive him.
Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he makes teshuvah ·complete repentance·, forgive him.
4 And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times should return to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.
If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I make teshuvah ·complete repentance·,’ you shall forgive him.”
5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Give more faith to us.
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our trusting faith.”
6 But the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye had said to this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.
The Lord said, “If you had trusting faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7 But which of you [is there] who, having a bondman ploughing or shepherding, when he comes in out of the field, will say, Come and lie down immediately to table?
But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table,’
8 But will he not say to him, Prepare what I shall sup on, and gird thyself and serve me that I may eat and drink; and after that thou shalt eat and drink?
and will not rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
9 Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered? I judge not.
Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 Thus ye also, when ye shall have done all things that have been ordered you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen; we have done what it was our duty to do.
Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”
11 And it came to pass as he was going up to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
As he was on his way to Jerusalem [City of peace], he was passing along the borders of Samaria [Watch-mountain] and Galilee [District, Circuit].
12 And as he entered into a certain village ten leprous men met him, who stood afar off.
As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were afflicted with tzara'at ·leprosy· met him, who stood at a distance.
13 And they lifted up [their] voice saying, Jesus, Master, have compassion on us.
They lifted up their voices, saying, “Yeshua [Salvation], Master, have mercy on us!”
14 And seeing [them] he said to them, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as they were going they were cleansed.
When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, seeing that he was cured, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
16 and fell on [his] face at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
He fell on his face at Yeshua [Salvation]'s feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan [person from Watch-mountain].
17 And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but the nine, where [are they]?
Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 There have not been found to return and give glory to God save this stranger.
Were there none found who teshuvah ·completely returned· to give glory to God, except this stranger?”
19 And he said to him, Rise up and go thy way: thy faith has made thee well.
Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your trusting faith has healed you.”
20 And having been asked by the Pharisees, When is the kingdom of God coming? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation;
Being asked by the Pharisees [Separated] when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom does not come with observation;
21 nor shall they say, Lo here, or, Lo there; for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.
neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
22 And he said to the disciples, Days are coming, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see [it].
He said to the disciples, “The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
23 And they will say to you, Lo here, or Lo there; go not, nor follow [them].
They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away, nor follow after them,
24 For as the lightning shines which lightens from [one end] under heaven to [the other end] under heaven, thus shall the Son of man be in his day.
for as the lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.
25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.
But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 And as it took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall it be in the days of the Son of man:
As it was in the days of Noah [Rest], even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.
27 they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all [of them];
They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah [Rest] entered into the ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 and in like manner as took place in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot [Veil, Covering]: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29 but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all [of them]:
but in the day that Lot [Veil, Covering] went out from Sodom [Burning], Yahweh caused it to rain fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.
30 after this [manner] shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
31 In that day, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
32 Remember the wife of Lot.
Remember Lot [Veil, Covering]’s wife!
33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it.
Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
34 I say to you, In that night there shall be two [men] upon one bed; one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.
I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. The one will be taken, and the other will be left.
35 Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.
There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be left.
36 [Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be seized and the other let go.]
Two will be in the field: the one taken, and the other left.”
37 And answering they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together.
They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together.”
