Luke 17
1 Jesus said to his disciples. "It is not possible but that occasions of stumbling should occur, but woe to him through whom they come!
And he said unto his disciples: —It is, impossible, that occasions of stumbling should not come, notwithstanding, alas! for him through whom they do come:
2 "It were well for him if a millstone were tied about his neck, and he were hurled into the sea, rather than he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
It profiteth him, if, a mill-stone, is hung about his neck, and he is cast into the sea, than that he cause, one, of these little ones, to stumble.
3 "Be on you guard! "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents forgive him.
Be taking heed to yourselves, —If thy brother sin, rebuke him, and, if he repent, forgive him;
4 "And if he sins against you seven times a day, and seven times a day turns to you saying ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him."
Even if, seven times a day, he sin against thee, and, seven times, turn to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
And the apostles said unto the Lord—Bestow on us faith!
6 "If your faith," answered Jesus, "were like a grain of mustard-seed, you would say to this tree, ‘Tear yourself up and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
And the Lord said—If ye have faith like a grain of mustard-seed, ye should be saying unto [this] mulberry-tree—Be uprooted! and be planted in the sea, —and it should obey you.
7 "But who of you who has a slave plowing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he is come in from the field, ‘Come at once, sit down to dinner,’
But, who from among you, having, a servant, plowing or keeping sheep, when he hath come in out of the field, will say to him—Straightway, come, and recline; —
8 "and will not rather tell him, ‘Get ready something for me to eat, and gird yourself to wait on me until I have eaten and drunken. Then you shall eat and drink.’
on the contrary, will not say to him—Make somewhat ready, that I may dine, —and, girding thyself, be ministering unto me, until I have eaten and drunk; and, after these things, thou, shalt eat and drink?
9 "Does he think the slave because he did the things that were commanded?
Doth he offer thanks unto the servant, because he hath done the things enjoined?
10 "Even so, you also, after you have done all the things that are commanded you, should say, ‘We are but slaves, we have only done what it was our duty to do.’"
Thus, ye also, when ye have done all the things enjoined upon you, say—Unprofitable servants, are we, —What we were bound to do, we have done!
11 Now it happened that as he went his way to Jerusalem, he passed between Samaria and Galilee.
And it came to pass, during the journey unto Jerusalem, that, he, was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as he was going certain village ten lepers met him.
And, as he was entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood still, afar off;
13 They stood at a distance and lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, take pity on us."
and, they, lifted up a voice, saying—Jesus! Master! have mercy on us!
14 Perceiving this he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priest." And as they went they were made clean.
And, beholding, he said unto them—Go your way, and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they withdrew, they were cleansed.
15 Now one of them, as he saw that he was cured, came back, glorifying God in a loud voice,
But, one from among them, beholding that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice, glorifying God, —
16 and he fell on his face at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan.
and fell prostrate at his feet, giving him thanks; and, he, was a Samaritan.
17 "Were there not ten cleansed?" asked Jesus, "but where are the nine?
And Jesus, answering, said—Were not, the ten, cleansed? [but, ] where, are, the nine?
18 "Are there none found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner?"
Have none been found returning to give glory to God, save this one of another race?
19 And he said unto him, "Rise and go, your faith has healed you."
And he said unto him—Arise and go thy way: thy faith, hath saved thee.
20 The Pharisees asked him when the kingdom of God was coming. He answered. "The kingdom of God does not come so that you can catch sight of it,
And, being questioned by the Pharisees, When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered them and said—The kingdom of God cometh not with narrow watching;
21 "nor will they say, ‘Look here it is!’ or ‘See there!’ - for the kingdom of God is now in your midst."
Neither shall they say—Lo, here! or, There. For lo! the kingdom of God, is, among you.
22 Then he said turning to his disciples. "The days will come when you shall long to see one of the days of the Son of man, you shall not see it.
But he said unto the disciples—There will come days—when ye will long to see, one of the days of the Son of Man, and shall not see.
23 "And they shall say to you, ‘Lo there! Lo there!’ But do not go away or follow them.
And they will say unto you, Lo there! or, Lo here! Do not [depart, and do not] pursue.
24 "For as the lightning when it lightens out of the one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.
For, just as, the lightning, flashing out of the one part under heaven, unto the other part under heaven, shineth, so, shall be, the Son of Man.
25 "But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected buy his generation.
But, first, he must needs suffer, many things, and be rejected by this generation.
26 "And this was in the time of Noah, so will it be in the time of the Son of man.
And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so, will it be, even in the days of the Son of Man:
27 "Men were eating and drinking; they were marrying and being married, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, —until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 "The same was true in the time of Lot; they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building;
In like manner, 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, —
29 "but on the day that Lot left Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
But, on the day Lot came out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: —
30 "In the same manner it shall be in the day that the Son of man shall be revealed.
According to the same things, will it be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
31 "On that day, if a man is on the housetop and his goods inside, let him not go down to take them away; nor should a man in the field turn back.
In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his utensils in the house, let him not go down, to take them away! And, he that is in the field, in like manner, let him not turn unto the things behind,
32 "Remember Lot’s wife!
Bear in mind the wife of Lot! Whosoever shall seek to make his life his own, shall lose it,
33 "Whoever seeks to keep his life shall lose it; but whoever loses it shall preserve it.
But, whosoever shall lose it, shall give it a living birth.
34 "I tell you that in one night there shall be two men in one bed; one shall be taken and the other left.
I say unto you—On the selfsame night, there shall be two men on [one] bed, —the one, shall be taken near, and, the other, left behind;
35 "There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken and the other left."
There shall be two women grinding together, —the one, shall be taken near, and, the other, left behind.

37 "Where, Master?" they asked him. "Where the dead body is," he answered, "there will the vultures be gathered together."
And, answering, they say unto him—Where, Lord? And, he, said unto them—Where the body is, there, the vultures also, will be gathered together.
