Luke 17
1 And He spoke to His disciples, It is impossible for offenses not to come: but woe unto him, through whom they come;
And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.
2 it is good for him if a millstone is hung around his neck, and he is cast into the sea, rather than that he may offend one of these little ones.
It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.
3 Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother may sin, rebuke him; if he may repent, forgive him.
Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.
4 But if he may sin against thee seven times a day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.
5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.
And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.
6 And the Lord said, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed. you should say to this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up, and planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.
7 But which one of you, having a servant plowing or serving a shepherd, who will say to him, having come in from the field, Coming hither sit down immediately?
But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,
8 But will he not say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and girding thyself, minister unto me, until I may eat and drink; and after these things you eat and drink?
Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?
9 Whether does he thank the servant because he did the things which were commanded?
Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?
10 Likewise also, when you may do those things which are commanded you, say that, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.
In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.
11 And it came to pass, while He was journeying to Jerusalem, and He was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.
12 He coming into a certain village, ten lepers met Him, who stood afar off;
And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,
13 and lifting up their voice, saying, Thou, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And seeing, He said to them, Go and show yourselves to the priest. And it came to pass while they were going, they were cleansed:
And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.
15 and one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice glorifying God,
And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;
16 and he fell upon his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him: and he was a Samaritan.
And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.
17 And Jesus responding said, Were not the ten cleansed?
And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?
18 Where are the nine? And they were not found returning to give thanks to God, except this one foreigner.
Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?
19 And He said to him, having arisen, go: thy faith hath saved thee.
And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.
20 Then being interrogated by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God is coming, He responded to them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation:
And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:
21 neither will they say; Lo, here! or, there! for behold, the kingdom of God is among you.
And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.
22 And 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 will not see it.
And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.
23 And they will say to you, Lo, here! lo, there! go not away, nor follow them.
And if they say to you, See, it is there! or, It is here! do not go away, or go after them.
24 For as the lightning, flashing out of the one part under the heaven, gleams into the other part under heaven, so shall be the Son of man in His day.
For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.
25 But it behooves Him first to suffer many things and to be set at nought by this generation.
But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.
26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of man.
And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.
27 They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were getting married, until the day on which Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;
In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;
29 and on the day on which Lot went out from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from heaven and destroyed them all.
But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.
30 According to these things it will be in the day the Son of man is revealed.
So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.
31 In that day, let not him who is on the house, and his goods in the house, come down to take them: and likewise let not him who is in the field turn back.
On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
Keep in mind Lot's wife.
33 Whosoever may seek to save his soul shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it shall find it.
If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.
34 I say unto you, on that night two men shall be on one bed; the one shall be taken and the other left.
I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.
35 Two women shall be grinding at the same mill; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.
37 Responding they say to Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, Where the body is, there the eagles will also be gathered together.
And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.
