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 but that stumbling-blocks will 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 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.
3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he makes teshuvah ·complete repentance·, forgive him.
Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, 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 sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times turn to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our trusting faith.”
And the apostles said to the Lord, Give us more 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.
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.
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,’
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?
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’?
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?
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
Doth he owe any thanks to that servant, because he did what was 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.’”
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.
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].
And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, that he was traveling on the confines of Samaria and Galilee.
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 entered into a certain village, there met him ten lepers, who stood afar off.
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, “Yeshua [Salvation], Master, have mercy on us!”
And they lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus, Master, have 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.
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 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
And one of them, perceiving that he was freed from his disease, turned back, giving glory to God with 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 down on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him; and he was a Samaritan.
17 Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
18 Were there none found who teshuvah ·completely returned· to give glory to God, except this stranger?”
Were there none found returning to give glory to God but this foreigner?
19 Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your trusting faith has healed you.”
And he said to him, Rise and go; thy faith hath made thee well.
20 Being asked by the Pharisees [Separated] when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom does not come with observation;
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;
21 neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
nor will they say, Lo here! or there! for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of 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 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.
23 They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away, nor follow after them,
And they will say to you, Lo there! lo here! Go not away, and follow not.
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 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.
25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
But first he must suffer much, and be rejected by this generation.
26 As it was in the days of Noah [Rest], even 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 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 [Rest] entered into the ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
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.
28 Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot [Veil, Covering]: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
In like manner, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
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 when 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.
Thus will it be in the day when the Son of man is 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 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.
32 Remember Lot [Veil, Covering]’s wife!
Remember Lot's wife.
33 Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
Whoever shall seek to save his life will lose it; and whoever shall lose it will 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 tell you, In that night there will be two men on one bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left.
35 There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be left.
Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken, and the other left.
36 Two will be in the field: the one taken, and the other left.”
37 They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together.”
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.
