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;
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 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 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 heed to yourselves. If thy brother may sin, rebuke him; if he may repent, forgive him.
Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he makes teshuvah ·complete repentance·, forgive him.
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.
If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I make teshuvah ·complete repentance·,’ you shall forgive him.”
5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our trusting faith.”
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.
The Lord said, “If you had trusting faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
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 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 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?
and will not rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
9 Whether does he thank the servant because he did the things which were commanded?
Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
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.
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 it came to pass, while He was journeying to Jerusalem, and He was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
As he was on his way to Jerusalem [City of peace], he was passing along the borders of Samaria [Watch-mountain] and Galilee [District, Circuit].
12 He coming into a certain village, ten lepers met Him, who stood afar off;
As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were afflicted with tzara'at ·leprosy· met him, who stood at a distance.
13 and lifting up their voice, saying, Thou, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
They lifted up their voices, saying, “Yeshua [Salvation], 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:
When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
15 and one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice glorifying God,
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
16 and he fell upon his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him: and he was a Samaritan.
He fell on his face at Yeshua [Salvation]'s feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan [person from Watch-mountain].
17 And Jesus responding said, Were not the ten cleansed?
Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 Where are the nine? And they were not found returning to give thanks to God, except this one foreigner.
Were there none found who teshuvah ·completely returned· to give glory to God, except this stranger?”
19 And He said to him, having arisen, go: thy faith hath saved thee.
Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your trusting faith has healed you.”
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:
Being asked by the Pharisees [Separated] when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom does not come with observation;
21 neither will they say; Lo, here! or, there! for behold, the kingdom of God is among you.
neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within 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.
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, Lo, here! lo, there! go not away, nor follow them.
They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away, nor follow 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 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 it behooves Him first to suffer many things and to be set at nought by this generation.
But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected 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.
As it was in the days of Noah [Rest], even so will it be also in the days 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 ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah [Rest] entered into the ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
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;
Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot [Veil, Covering]: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29 and on the day on which Lot went out from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from heaven and destroyed them all.
but in the day that Lot [Veil, Covering] went out from Sodom [Burning], Yahweh caused it to rain fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.
30 According to these things it will be in the day the Son of man is revealed.
It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
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.
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 Lot's wife.
Remember Lot [Veil, Covering]’s wife!
33 Whosoever may seek to save his soul shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it shall find it.
Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves 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 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 shall be grinding at the same mill; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be left.
Two will be in the field: the one taken, and the other left.”
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.
They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together.”
