Luke 17
1 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.
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 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.
It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Take heede to your selues: if thy brother trespasse against thee, rebuke him: and if hee repent, forgiue him.
Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
4 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.
And if he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him."
5 And the Apostles saide vnto the Lord, Increase our faith.
The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
6 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.
The Lord said, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
7 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?
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 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?
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 Doeth he thanke that seruant, because hee did that which was commanded vnto him? I trowe not.
Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded?
10 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.
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.'"
11 And so it was when he went to Hierusalem, that he passed through the middes of Samaria, and Galile.
It happened as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as hee entred into a certaine towne, there met him tenne men that were lepers, which stoode a farre off.
As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
13 And they lift vp their voyces and saide, Iesus, Master, haue mercie on vs.
They lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."
14 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.
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 Then one of them, when hee sawe that hee, was healed, turned backe, and with a loude voyce praised God,
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
16 And fell downe on his face at his feete, and gaue him thankes: and he was a Samaritan.
He fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Iesus answered, and said, Are there not tenne clensed? but where are the nine?
Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 There is none founde that returned to giue God praise, saue this stranger.
Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?"
19 And he saide vnto him, Arise, goe thy way, thy faith hath saued thee.
Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."
20 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.
Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation;
21 Neither shall men say, Loe here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdome of God is within you.
neither will they say, 'Look, here.' or, 'Look, there.' for the kingdom of God is within you."
22 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.
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 Then they shall say to you, Behold here, or beholde there: but goe not thither, neither follow them.
And they will tell you, 'Look, there.' or 'Look, here.' Do not go away, nor follow after them,
24 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.
for as the lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.
25 But first must he suffer many things, and be reprooued of this generation.
But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 And as it was in the dayes of Noe, so shall it be in the dayes of the Sonne of man.
As it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.
27 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.
They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the box-shaped ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also, as it was in the dayes of Lot: they ate, they dranke, they bought, they solde, they planted, they built.
Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29 But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heauen, and destroyed them all.
but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.
30 After these ensamples shall it be in the day when the Sonne of man is reueiled.
It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
31 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.
In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
32 Remember Lots wife.
Remember Lot's wife.
33 Whosoeuer will seeke to saue his soule, shall loose it: and whosoeuer shall loose it, shall get it life.
Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will preserve it.
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed: the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe left.
I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. The one will be taken, and the other will be left.
35 Two women shalbe grinding together: the one shalbe taken, and the other shalbe left.
Two will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.
36 Two shalbe in the fielde: one shalbe receiued, and another shalbe left.
37 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.
They, answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together."
