Luke 17
1 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:
He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
2 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.
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.
3 Be taking heed to yourselves, —If thy brother sin, rebuke him, and, if he repent, forgive him;
Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
4 Even if, seven times a day, he sin against thee, and, seven times, turn to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.
If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord—Bestow on us faith!
The emissaries said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
6 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.
The Lord said, “If you had 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 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; —
But who is there amongst you, having a servant ploughing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table’?
8 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?
Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
9 Doth he offer thanks unto the servant, because he hath done the things enjoined?
Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 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!
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.’”
11 And it came to pass, during the journey unto Jerusalem, that, he, was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And, as he was entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood still, afar off;
As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
13 and, they, lifted up a voice, saying—Jesus! Master! have mercy on us!
They lifted up their voices, saying, “Yeshua, Master, have mercy on us!”
14 And, beholding, he said unto them—Go your way, and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they withdrew, they were cleansed.
When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
15 But, one from among them, beholding that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice, glorifying God, —
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
16 and fell prostrate at his feet, giving him thanks; and, he, was a Samaritan.
He fell on his face at Yeshua’s feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus, answering, said—Were not, the ten, cleansed? [but, ] where, are, the nine?
Yeshua answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 Have none been found returning to give glory to God, save this one of another race?
Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
19 And he said unto him—Arise and go thy way: thy faith, hath saved thee.
Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”
20 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;
Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;
21 Neither shall they say—Lo, here! or, There. For lo! the kingdom of God, is, among you.
neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
22 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.
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.
23 And they will say unto you, Lo there! or, Lo here! Do not [depart, and do not] pursue.
They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,
24 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.
for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
25 But, first, he must needs suffer, many things, and be rejected by this generation.
But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so, will it be, even in the days of the Son of Man:
As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
27 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.
They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 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, —
Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29 But, on the day Lot came out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: —
but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from the sky and destroyed them all.
30 According to the same things, will it be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
31 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,
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.
32 Bear in mind the wife of Lot! Whosoever shall seek to make his life his own, shall lose it,
Remember Lot’s wife!
33 But, whosoever shall lose it, shall give it a living birth.
Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
34 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;
I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left.
35 There shall be two women grinding together, —the one, shall be taken near, and, the other, left behind.
There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.”
37 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.
They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.”
