< Luke 17 >

1 He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come.
And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come: but woe to him through whom they come.
2 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.
It were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones.
3 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him.
4 And if he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him."
And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying, I repent; forgive him.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.
6 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.
And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou transplanted into the sea: and it would obey you.
7 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'?
But which of you having a servant ploughing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go, sit down to meat:
8 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'?
And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper, and gird thyself, and serve me, whilst I eat and drink, and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink?
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded?
Doth he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him?
10 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.'"
I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.
11 It happened as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off;
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."
And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, master, have mercy on us.
14 When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." It happened that as they went, they were cleansed.
Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean.
15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.
16 He fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine?
18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?"
There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.
19 Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."
And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The Kingdom of God does not come with observation;
And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come? he answered them, and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 neither will they say, 'Look, here.' or, 'Look, there.' for the Kingdom of God is within you."
Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
22 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.
And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when you shall desire to see one day of the Son of man; and you shall not see it.
23 And they will tell you, 'Look, there.' or 'Look, here.' Do not go away, nor follow after them,
And they will say to you: See here, and see there. Go ye not after, nor follow them:
24 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.
For as the lightening that lighteneth from under heaven, shineth unto the parts that are under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.
25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
26 As it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.
And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 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.
They did eat and drink, they married wives, and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark: and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
Likewise as it came to pass, in the days of Lot: they did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built.
29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.
And in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.
31 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.
In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
Remember Lot’s wife.
33 Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will preserve it.
Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it, shall preserve it.
34 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.
I say to you: in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Two will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.
Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left: two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be keft.
They answering, say to him: Where, Lord?
37 They, answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together."
Who said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles also be gathered together.
