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!
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 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.

3 Watch out for yourselves: if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him. If he repents, 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.”

5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
The apostles said to 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.

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 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 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 he not say to him, 'Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink, and afterward you can 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?
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.’”
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.'"

14 And paying attention He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” It happened that as they went they were cleansed!
When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." It happened 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;
One of them, when he saw 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!
He fell on his face at Jesus' 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?
Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 None were found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner!”
Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?"

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;

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, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Do not go along or follow.
And they will tell you, 'Look, there.' or 'Look, here.' Do not go away, nor follow after 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.

25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

They, answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together."
