Luke 17

1 And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come: but woe to him through whom they come.

And he said to his disciples, It is impossible for the stumbling-blocks not to come, but woe to him through whom they come!

2 It were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones.

It is better for him if a donkey-powered millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3 Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him.

Take heed to yourselves. And if thy brother should sin against thee, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.

4 And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying, I repent; forgive him.

And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times in the day turn back, saying, I repent, thou will forgive him.

5 And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.

And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase faith for us.

6 And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou transplanted into the sea: and it would obey you.

And the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard plant, ye would say to this sycamine tree, Be thou uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

7 But which of you having a servant ploughing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go, sit down to meat:

But which of you having a bondman plowing or feeding livestock, who, when he comes in from the field, will straightaway say, After coming near, sit down?

8 And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper, and gird thyself, and serve me, whilst I eat and drink, and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink?

Will he not rather say to him, Prepare what I may dine, and having gird thyself, serve me until I eat and drink, and after these things thou will eat and drink?

9 Doth he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him?

Does he have a favor for that bondman because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

10 I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.

Thus ye also, when ye did all the things that were commanded you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen, because we have done what we are obligated to do.

14 Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean.

And when he saw them, he said to them, After departing, display yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, during their going they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back with a great voice glorifying God.

16 And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan.

And he fell upon his face beside his feet giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine?

And having answered, Jesus said, Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

18 There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.

Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?

And he said to him, After rising, go. Thy faith has healed thee.

23 And they will say to you: See here, and see there. Go ye not after, nor follow them:

And they will say to you, Lo, here! Lo, there! Do not depart, nor pursue.

24 For as the lightening that lighteneth from under heaven, shineth unto the parts that are 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 it is necessary for him to suffer many things and be rejected from this generation.

27 They did eat and drink, they married wives, and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark: and the flood came and destroyed them all.

31 In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back.

In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, let him not go down to take them up. And let him who is in the field likewise not return for the things behind.

Remember Lot's wife.
