< Luke 17 >

1 Then He said to the disciples: “Things that cause people to fall are bound to come, but woe to him through whom they do come!
Then said he to his disciples, It can not be auoided, but that offences will come, but wo be to him by whome they come.
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to fall.
It is better for him that a great milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were cast into ye sea, then that he should offende one of these litle ones.
3 Watch out for yourselves: if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
Take heede to your selues: if thy brother trespasse against thee, rebuke him: and if hee repent, forgiue him.
4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in that day returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
And though he sinne against thee seuen times in a day, and seuen times in a day turne againe to thee, saying, It repenteth mee, thou shalt forgiue him.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
And the Apostles saide vnto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 So the Lord said: “If you had faith like a mustard seed has, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
And the Lord said, If ye had faith, as much as is a graine of mustard seede, and should say vnto this mulberie tree, Plucke thy selfe vp by the rootes, and plant thy selfe in the sea, it should euen obey you.
7 “And which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline to eat’?
Who is it also of you, that hauing a seruant plowing or feeding cattell, woulde say vnto him by and by, when hee were come from the fielde, Goe, and sit downe at table?
8 Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, and gird yourself and serve me until I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?
And woulde not rather say to him, Dresse wherewith I may suppe, and girde thy selfe, and serue mee, till I haue eaten and drunken, and afterward eate thou, and drinke thou?
9 Does he thank that slave because he did the things commanded? I guess not!
Doeth he thanke that seruant, because hee did that which was commanded vnto him? I trowe not.
10 So likewise you, whenever you have done everything you were told to do, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves, because we have only done what we were supposed to.’”
So likewise yee, when yee haue done all those things, which are commanded you, say, We are vnprofitable seruants: wee haue done that which was our duetie to doe.
11 Now as He was traveling toward Jerusalem, He went along between Samaria and Galilee.
And so it was when he went to Hierusalem, that he passed through the middes of Samaria, and Galile.
12 And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him—being lepers they stood at a distance.
And as hee entred into a certaine towne, there met him tenne men that were lepers, which stoode a farre off.
13 They called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
And they lift vp their voyces and saide, Iesus, Master, haue mercie on vs.
14 And paying attention He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” It happened that as they went they were cleansed!
And when he saw them, he said vnto them, Goe, shewe your selues vnto the Priestes. And it came to passe, that as they went, they were clensed.
15 Well one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, glorifying God with a loud voice;
Then one of them, when hee sawe that hee, was healed, turned backe, and with a loude voyce praised God,
16 then he fell on his face at His feet, thanking Him—and he was a Samaritan!
And fell downe on his face at his feete, and gaue him thankes: and he was a Samaritan.
17 So Jesus reacted by saying: “Were not all ten cleansed? So where are the nine?
And Iesus answered, and said, Are there not tenne clensed? but where are the nine?
18 None were found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner!”
There is none founde that returned to giue God praise, saue this stranger.
19 Then He said to him, “Get up and go; your faith has made you well.”
And he saide vnto him, Arise, goe thy way, thy faith hath saued thee.
20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said: “The Kingdom of God does not come with observation;
And when hee was demaunded of the Pharises, when the kingdome of God shoulde come, he answered them, and said, The kingdome of God commeth not with obseruation.
21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ because indeed the Kingdom of God is within you.”
Neither shall men say, Loe here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdome of God is within you.
22 Then He said to the disciples: “Days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of the Man, and you will not see it.
And he saide vnto the disciples, The dayes will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the dayes of the Sonne of man, and ye shall not see it.
23 And they will say to you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Do not go along or follow.
Then they shall say to you, Behold here, or beholde there: but goe not thither, neither follow them.
24 Because just like the lightning that lights the whole sky when it flashes, so also will the Son of the Man be in His day.
For as the lightening that lighteneth out of the one part vnder heauen, shineth vnto the other part vnder heauen, so shall the Sonne 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 reprooued of this generation.
26 Also, just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of the Man.
And as it was in the dayes of Noe, so shall it be in the dayes of the Sonne of man.
27 They were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
They ate, they dranke, they married wiues, and gaue in marriage vnto the day that Noe went into the Arke: and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building—
Likewise also, as it was in the dayes of Lot: they ate, they dranke, they bought, they solde, they planted, they built.
29 but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heauen, and destroyed them all.
30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of the Man is revealed.
After these ensamples shall it be in the day when the Sonne of man is reueiled.
31 “In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to get them; and likewise he who is in the field, let him not turn back.
At that day hee that is vpon the house, and his stuffe in ye house, let him not come downe to take it out: and he that is in the fielde likewise, let him not turne backe to that he left behinde.
32 Remember Lot's wife!
Remember Lots wife.
33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever ‘wastes’ it will preserve it.
Whosoeuer will seeke to saue his soule, shall loose it: and whosoeuer shall loose it, shall get it life.
34 I tell you: on that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.
I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed: the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe left.
35 Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken and the other left.”
Two women shalbe grinding together: the one shalbe taken, and the other shalbe left.
Two shalbe in the fielde: one shalbe receiued, and another shalbe left.
37 They reacted by saying to Him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where there is a carcass, there will the vultures also be gathered.”
And they answered, and saide to him, Where, Lord? And he said vnto them, Wheresoeuer the body is, thither shall also the eagles bee gathered together.
