Luke 17
1 And He said to the disciples, “It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but woe [to 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 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.
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, and if your brother may sin in regard to you, rebuke him, and if he may change his mind, 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 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.”
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, “Add to us faith”;
And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.
6 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.
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 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?
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 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?
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 Does he have favor to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not.
Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?
10 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.”
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, in His going on to Jerusalem, that He passed 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 and He entering into a certain village, there ten leprous men met Him, who stood far 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 they lifted up the voice, saying, “Jesus, Master, deal kindly with us”;
Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 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,
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 having seen that he was healed turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,
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 on [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 answering said, “Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine—where?
And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?
18 There were none found who turned back to give glory to God, except this 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 risen, be going on, your faith has saved you.”
And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.
20 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;
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 nor will they say, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; for behold, the Kingdom of God is within 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 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];
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, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; you may not go away, nor follow;
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 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;
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 and first it is necessary for Him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.
But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.
26 And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so will it also 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 given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the Ark, and the flood came, and destroyed 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 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;
In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;
29 and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed 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, 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;
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 the wife of Lot.
Keep in mind Lot's wife.
33 Whoever may seek to save his life, will lose it; and whoever may lose it, will preserve 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 to you, in that night there will be two [men] on one bed: one will be taken, and the other will be 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] will be grinding at the same place together: one will be taken, and the other will be left;
Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.
36 [[two [men] will be in the field: one will be taken, and the other left.”]]
37 And they answering say to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “Where the body [is], there the eagles will 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.
