Luke 17
1 Then Jesus said to the disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to the one 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 would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than for him to 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 Watch yourselves. If yoʋr brother sins against yoʋ, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother transgress, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4 Even if he sins against yoʋ seven times in a day, and seven times in that day he comes back and says, ‘I repent,’ yoʋ must 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 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
And the Legates said to our Lord: Increase our faith.
6 The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey 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 “Suppose one of you has a servant plowing the field or tending the sheep. As soon as he comes in from the field would you say, ‘Come and recline at the table’?
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 Instead, would yoʋ not say to him, ‘Prepare my supper. Put on yoʋr apron and serve me while I eat and drink; after that yoʋ may 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 Do yoʋ thank that servant because he did what he was commanded? I think not.
Hath he thanks for him, because the servant did what was commanded him? I think not.
10 So you also, when you have done everything you were commanded to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what we were obligated 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 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border of Samaria and Galilee.
And it occurred as Jesus advanced towards Jerusalem, that he passed among the Samaritans into Galilee.
12 As he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers who stood at a distance.
And when he drew near to enter a certain village, there met him ten leprous men; and they stood at a distance,
13 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 When he saw them, he said to them, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they went along, 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 When one of them saw that he had been healed, he came back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned, and with a loud voice, glorified God.
16 He then fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. (Now he was a Samaritan.)
And he fell on his face, at the feet of Jesus, and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan.
17 In response Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where then are the other nine?
And Jesus answered, and said: Were they not ten who were cleansed? Where are the nine?
18 Were there none found who came back to give glory to God except this foreigner?”
Have they so gone as not to come and give glory to God; except this one, who is of another nation?
19 Then he said to the man, “Rise and go on yoʋr way; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.”
And he said to him; Arise, and go: thy faith hath given thee life.
20 At one point Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, so he answered them, “The kingdom of God does not come with observable signs,
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 nor will people say, ‘Behold, here it is!’ or, ‘Behold, there it is!’ For behold, 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 Then he said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will 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 People will say to you, ‘Behold, here he is!’ or, ‘Behold, there he is!’ Do not go off with them or run after them,
And if they shall say to you: Lo, here he is! or, Lo, there he is! go not forth.
24 for just as lightning flashes from one part of the sky and shines to the other, so will 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 he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
But, previously, he is to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.
26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be 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 People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah went 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 It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
And again, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate and drank, bought and sold, planted and built.
29 But on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down 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 So will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
Thus will it be, in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.
31 On that day, he who is on the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not come down to get them. Likewise, he who is in the field must not turn 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 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
He that desireth to preserve his life, will lose it; and he that will lose his life, shall preserve it.
34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.
I tell you, that, in that night, two will be in one bed; one will be taken, and the other left.
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other will 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 Then the disciples said to him in response, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will 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.
