< 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 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 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 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 Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Be taking heed to yourselves, —If thy brother sin, rebuke him, and, if he repent, forgive him;
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.
Even if, seven times a day, he sin against thee, and, seven times, turn to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.
5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Give us more faith.
And the apostles said unto the Lord—Bestow on us faith!
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 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 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, 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 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?
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 Doth he owe any thanks to that servant, because he did what was commanded?
Doth he offer thanks unto the servant, because he hath done the things enjoined?
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.
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!

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten lepers, who stood afar off.
And, as he was entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood still, afar off;

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.

15 And one of them, perceiving that he was freed from his disease, turned back, giving glory to God with a loud voice;
But, one from among them, beholding that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice, glorifying God, —
16 and he fell down on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him; and he was a Samaritan.
and fell prostrate at his feet, giving him thanks; and, he, was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
And Jesus, answering, said—Were not, the ten, cleansed? [but, ] where, are, the nine?
18 Were there none found returning to give glory to God but this foreigner?
Have none been found returning to give glory to God, save this one of another race?
19 And he said to him, Rise and go; thy faith hath made thee well.
And he said unto him—Arise and go thy way: thy faith, hath saved thee.
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, 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, Lo here! or there! for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.
Neither shall they say—Lo, here! or, There. For lo! 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.
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 will say to you, Lo there! lo here! Go not away, and follow not.
And they will say unto you, Lo there! or, Lo here! Do not [depart, and do not] pursue.
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, 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 much, and be rejected by this generation.
But, first, he must needs suffer, many things, and be rejected 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 came to pass in the days of Noah, so, will it be, even in the days 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 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.

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 when Lot went out of 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 Thus will it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
According to the same things, will it be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
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.
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 shall seek to save his life will lose it; and whoever shall lose it will preserve it.
But, whosoever shall lose it, shall give it a living birth.
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 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 Two women will be grinding together; one will 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 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, answering, they say unto him—Where, Lord? And, he, said unto them—Where the body is, there, the vultures also, will be gathered together.
