< 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!
And He said to the disciples, “It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but woe [to 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 is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Watch out for yourselves: if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
Take heed to yourselves, and if your brother may sin in regard to you, rebuke him, and if he may change his mind, 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 seven times in the day he may sin against you, and seven times in the day may return to you, saying, I change my mind, you will forgive him.”
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
And the apostles said to the LORD, “Add to us 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 you had faith as a grain of mustard, you would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed 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 who is he of you—having a servant plowing or feeding—who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come, recline at once?
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’?
But will not [rather] say to him, Prepare what I may dine, and having girded yourself around, minister to me, until I eat and drink, and after these things you will eat and drink?
9 Does he thank that slave because he did the things commanded? I guess not!
Does he have favor to that servant because he did the things directed? I think 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 also you, when you may have done all the things directed you, say, We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do we have done.”
11 Now as He was traveling toward Jerusalem, He went along between Samaria and Galilee.
And it came to pass, in His going on 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 He entering into a certain village, there ten leprous men met Him, who stood far off,
13 They called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
and they lifted up the voice, saying, “Jesus, Master, deal kindly with 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 having seen [them], He said to them, “Having gone on, show yourselves to the priests”; and it came to pass, in their going, 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 having seen that he was healed turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,
16 then he fell on his face at His feet, thanking Him—and he was a Samaritan!
and he fell on [his] face at His feet, giving thanks to Him, 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 not the ten cleansed, and the nine—where?
18 None were found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner!”
There were none found who turned back to give glory to God, except this foreigner”;
19 Then He said to him, “Get up and go; your faith has made you well.”
and He said to him, “Having risen, be going on, your faith has saved you.”
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 having been questioned by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God comes, He answered them and said, “The Kingdom of God does not come with observation;
21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ because indeed the Kingdom of God is within you.”
nor will they say, Behold, here; or, Behold, 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 to His disciples, “Days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man and you will not behold [it];
23 And they will say to you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Do not go along or follow.
and they will say to you, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; you may not go away, nor follow;
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 is flashing out of one [part] under the sky [and] shines to the other [part] under the sky, so will the Son of Man also be in His day;
25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
and first it is necessary for Him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by 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 came to pass in the days of Noah, so will it also be 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 were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the Ark, and the flood came, and destroyed all;
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building—
in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;
29 but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed all.
30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of the Man is revealed.
According to these things it will be, in the day 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 who will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, do not let him come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, do not let him turn backward;
32 Remember Lot's wife!
remember the wife of Lot.
33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever ‘wastes’ it will preserve it.
Whoever may seek to save his life, will lose it; and whoever may lose it, will 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 say to you, in that night there will be two [men] on one bed: one will be taken, and the other will be left;
35 Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken and the other left.”
two [women] will be grinding at the same place together: one will be taken, and the other will be left;
[[two [men] will be in the field: one will 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 answering say to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together.”
