Luke 17
1 And he said to his disciples, It is impossible but that stumbling-blocks will 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 were better for him to have a millstone hung round his neck, and be cast into the sea, than to cause one of these little ones to fall away.
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 sin, rebuke him; and if he 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 And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times turn 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, Give us more faith.
And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.
6 But the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to this sycamine-tree, Be plucked up by the roots, 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 And which of you having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he hath come in from the field, Come immediately and place thyself at table?
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 Will he not rather say to him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself and serve me till I have eaten and drunken, and afterward thou shalt 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 Doth he owe any thanks to that servant, because he did what was commanded?
Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?
10 So also do ye, when ye have done all that hath been commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were bound 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, as he was going to Jerusalem, that he was traveling on the confines 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 as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten lepers, 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 they lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus, Master, have pity on us.
Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they were on their way, 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, perceiving that he was freed from his disease, turned back, giving glory to 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 down 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? Where are the nine?
And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?
18 Were there none found returning to give glory to God but 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, Rise and go; thy faith hath made thee well.
And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.
20 And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not in such a manner as to be watched for;
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, Lo here! or there! for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of 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 ye 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 there! lo here! Go not away, and follow not.
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, that lighteneth out of one part under heaven, shineth to the other part under heaven, so will the Son of man 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 But first he must suffer much, and 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 was in the days of Noah, so will it be also 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 ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered 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 In like manner, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;
29 but on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone 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 Thus will it be in the day when 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 upon the house-top, and whose furniture is in the house, come down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not 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 Whoever shall seek to save his life will lose it; and whoever shall 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 tell 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 together; one will be taken, and the other left.
Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.
37 And they answering say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there also will the eagles 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.
