3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he makes teshuvah ·complete repentance·, forgive him.
"Be on you guard! "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents forgive him.
4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I make teshuvah ·complete repentance·,’ you shall forgive him.”
"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."
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our trusting faith.”
The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
6 The Lord said, “If you had trusting faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in 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 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,’
8 and will not rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
"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.’
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
"Does he think the slave because he did the things that were commanded?
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.’”
"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.’"
11 As he was on his way to Jerusalem [City of peace], he was passing along the borders of Samaria [Watch-mountain] and Galilee [District, Circuit].

12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were afflicted with tzara'at ·leprosy· met him, who stood at a distance.
And as he was going certain village ten lepers met him.
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, “Yeshua [Salvation], Master, have mercy on us!”
They stood at a distance and lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, take pity on us."
14 When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
Perceiving this he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priest." And 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.
Now one of them, as he saw that he was cured, came back, glorifying God in a loud voice,
16 He fell on his face at Yeshua [Salvation]'s feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan [person from Watch-mountain].
and he fell on his face at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan.
17 Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
"Were there not ten cleansed?" asked Jesus, "but where are the nine?
18 Were there none found who teshuvah ·completely returned· to give glory to God, except this stranger?”
"Are there none found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner?"

20 Being asked by the Pharisees [Separated] when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom does not come with observation;
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,

"nor will they say, ‘Look here it is!’ or ‘See there!’ - for the kingdom of God is now in your midst."
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.
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.
23 They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away, nor follow after them,
"And they shall say to you, ‘Lo there! Lo there!’ But do not go away or 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.

"The same was true in the time of Lot; they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building;
29 but in the day that Lot [Veil, Covering] went out from Sodom [Burning], Yahweh caused it to rain fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.
"but on the day that Lot left Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

"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.
32 Remember Lot [Veil, Covering]’s wife!
"Remember Lot’s wife!
