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!
Then said He to the disciples, It is impossible that offences should not come: but wo 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.
It were better for him that a milstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to offend.
3 Watch yourselves. If yoʋr brother sins against yoʋ, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother trespass against thee, 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 trespass against thee seven times a day, and seven times in a day return to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
And the apostles said unto the 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.
And the Lord said, If ye had faith but as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this sycamine-tree, Be thou rooted up and 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’?
But which of you having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, as soon as he comes in from the field, Come hither and sit down at table?
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 will he not rather say to him, Get ready my supper, and gird thyself, and wait upon me, till I have done, and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink.
9 Do yoʋ thank that servant because he did what he was commanded? I think not.
Is he obliged to that servant for doing what he was ordered?
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.’”
I think not. So likewise ye, when ye have done all things that were commanded you, say we are unprofitable servants, for we have done only what we ought to do.
11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border of Samaria and Galilee.
And as He was going to Jerusalem, He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee;
12 As he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers who stood at a distance.
and as He entered into a certain village, there met Him ten men that were lepers:
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
who stood at a distance, and lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus master, have pity on 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 saw them, He said unto them, Go and shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass 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, perceiving that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice glorifying God:
16 He then fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. (Now he was a Samaritan.)
and fell prostrate at his feet, giving Him thanks; 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 not all the ten cleansed? and where are the other nine?
18 Were there none found who came back to give glory to God except this foreigner?”
Are there none returning to give glory to God, but this stranger?
19 Then he said to the man, “Rise and go on yoʋr way; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.”
And He said to him, Arise, go thy way; thy faith hath saved thee.
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 being asked by the pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, He answered and said, the kingdom of God cometh not with observation.
21 nor will people say, ‘Behold, here it is!’ or, ‘Behold, there it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
Neither shall they say, Behold it is here, or behold it is there; for 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 the disciples, the time will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it.
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 they will say to you, Behold, He is here, or behold He is there: but go not after them, nor follow them.
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 which lightneth from the one part of heaven shineth to the other: so also shall the Son of man be in his day.
25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
But He must suffer many things first, and 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 shall it be also 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 were eating, drinking, marrying, and being married, till the day that Noah went into the ark: and the flood came and destroyed them all.
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 as it was likewise in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building:
29 But on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
but the very day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 So will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
Thus shall it be in the day that the Son of man is 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, whoever shall be on the house-top, and his goods in the house, let him not come down into it to take them away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it;
33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
and whosoever will venture 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.
In that night there shall be two in one bed; the one shall be taken and the other left:
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other will be left.”
two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken and the other left:
two men shall be in the field; the one shall 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.”
And they answered and said unto Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, where the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
