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 unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom 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 were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
3 Watch out for yourselves: if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
Take heed to yourselves: If your brother trespass against you, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive 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 if he trespass against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day return to you, saying, I repent; you shall forgive him.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
And the apostles said unto 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 all of you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, all of you might say unto this sycamine tree, Be you plucked up by the root, and be you planted in the sea; and it should 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’?
But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he has come from the field, Go and sit down to food?
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 will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird yourself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward you shall eat and drink?
9 Does he thank that slave because he did the things commanded? I guess not!
Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I I think not 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 all of you, when all of you shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are useless servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
11 Now as He was traveling toward Jerusalem, He went along between Samaria and Galilee.
And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him—being lepers they stood at a distance.
And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood far off:
13 They called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
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 unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 Well one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, glorifying God with a loud voice;
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 then he fell on his face at His feet, thanking Him—and he was a Samaritan!
And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 So Jesus reacted by saying: “Were not all ten cleansed? So where are the nine?
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 None were found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner!”
There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19 Then He said to him, “Get up and go; your faith has made you well.”
And he said unto him, Arise, go your way: your faith has made you whole.
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 he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation:
21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ because indeed the Kingdom of God is within you.”
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom 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 said unto the disciples, The days will come, when all of you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and all of you shall not see it.
23 And they will say to you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Do not go along or follow.
And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor 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 lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines unto the other part under heaven; so shall also 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 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 days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son 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 did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 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 days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, 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 the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of the Man is revealed.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
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.
In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife!
Remember Lot's wife.
33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever ‘wastes’ it will preserve it.
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
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 men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken and the other left.”
Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other 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 said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where ever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
