< Luke 17 >

1 And he said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
And Jesus said to his disciples: It cannot be, but that offences will come: but woe to him, by whom they come.
2 It were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Better for him were it, if a millstone were suspended to his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should 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.
Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother transgress, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4 And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
And if he shall offend against thee seven times in a day, and, seven times in a day, shall turn himself to thee, and say, I repent; forgive him.
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
And the Legates said to our Lord: Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would have obeyed you.
He said to them: If ye had faith like a grain of mustard seed, ye might say to this mulberry-tree, Be thou torn up by the roots, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
7 But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat;
Which of you, having a servant driving a yoke of oxen, or tending sheep, will say to him when he cometh from the field, Pass on at once, and recline for supper?
8 and will not rather say unto 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?
But he will say to him: Prepare for me what I may sup upon, and gird thy loins and serve me, until I have eaten and drunken; and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink.
9 Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded?
Hath he thanks for him, because the servant did what was commanded him? I think not.
10 Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do.
So also ye, when ye have done all the things commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants, for we have done only what we were obligated to do.
11 And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
And it occurred as Jesus advanced towards Jerusalem, that he passed among the Samaritans into Galilee.
12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
And when he drew near to enter a certain village, there met him ten leprous men; and they stood at a distance,
13 and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
and raised their voice, and said: Our Rabbi, Jesus, have compassion upon us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed.
And when he had looked upon them, he said to them: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And as they were going, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God;
And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned, and with a loud voice, glorified God.
16 and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
And he fell on his face, at the feet of Jesus, and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
And Jesus answered, and said: Were they not ten who were cleansed? Where are the nine?
18 Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?
Have they so gone as not to come and give glory to God; except this one, who is of another nation?
19 And he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
And he said to him; Arise, and go: thy faith hath given thee life.
20 And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
And as some of the Pharisees asked him, When the kingdom of God would come; he answered, and said to them: The kingdom of God will not come with observables.
21 neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
And they will not say: Behold, here it is! or, Behold, it is there! For lo, the kingdom of God is within you
22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when ye will long to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye will not see them.
23 And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after [them]:
And if they shall say to you: Lo, here he is! or, Lo, there he is! go not forth.
24 for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.
For, as the lightning darteth from the heavens, and illuminateth all beneath the heavens; so will the Son of man be, in his day.
25 But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.
But, previously, he is to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.
26 And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall 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 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 ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
They ate and drank, they took wives and were given to husbands, until the day that Noah entered the ark; and the flood came, and destroyed every one.
28 Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
And again, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate and drank, bought and sold, planted and built.
29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:
But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, the Lord rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
Thus will it be, in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.
31 In that day, he which shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back.
In that day, let him that is on the house-top, and his goods in the house, not come down to take them: and let him that is in the field, not return after what is behind him.
32 Remember Lot’s wife.
Remember Lot's wife.
33 Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose [his life] shall preserve it.
He that desireth to preserve his life, will lose it; and he that will lose his life, shall preserve it.

I tell you, that, in that night, two will be in one bed; one will be taken, and the other left.
35 There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
And two females will be grinding together; one will be taken, and the other left.
Two men will be in the field; one will be taken, and the other left.
37 And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body [is], thither will the eagles also be gathered together.
They answered, and said to him: Whither, our Lord? He said to them: Where the body is, there will the eagles assemble themselves.
