< Luke 17 >

1 Then he said to the disciples, It is impossible but that causes of sin will come: but woe [to him] by whom they come!
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:
2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to fall into sin.
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.
3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother shall trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he shall repent forgive him.
Be taking heed to yourselves, —If thy brother sin, rebuke him, and, if he repent, forgive him;
4 And if he shall trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day shall turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Even if, seven times a day, he sin against thee, and, seven times, turn to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.
5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.
And the apostles said unto the Lord—Bestow on us faith!
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this sycamine-tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
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.
7 But which of you having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him immediately, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to eat?
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; —
8 And will not rather say to him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drank; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
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?
9 Doth he thank that servant, because he did the things that were commanded him? I suppose not.
Doth he offer thanks unto the servant, because he hath done the things enjoined?
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all the things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which it was our duty to do.
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!
11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
And it came to pass, during the journey unto Jerusalem, that, he, was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood at a distance.
And, as he was entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood still, afar off;
13 And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
and, they, lifted up a voice, saying—Jesus! Master! have mercy on us!
14 And when he saw [them], he said to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that as they were going, they were cleansed.
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.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
But, one from among them, beholding that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice, glorifying God, —
16 And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
and fell prostrate at his feet, giving him thanks; and, he, was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where [are] the nine?
And Jesus, answering, said—Were not, the ten, cleansed? [but, ] where, are, the nine?
18 There are not found returning to give glory to God, save this stranger.
Have none been found returning to give glory to God, save this one of another race?
19 And he said to him, Arise, depart: thy faith hath made thee whole.
And he said unto him—Arise and go thy way: thy faith, hath saved thee.
20 And when he was asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation.
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;
21 Neither will they say, Lo here! or lo there! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Neither shall they say—Lo, here! or, There. For lo! the kingdom of God, is, among you.
22 And he said to his disciples, The days will come, when ye will desire to see one of the days of the son of man, and ye shall not see [it].
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.
23 And they will say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after [them], nor follow them.
And they will say unto you, Lo there! or, Lo here! Do not [depart, and do not] pursue.
24 For as the lightning that lighteneth from the one [part] under heaven, shineth to the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
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.
25 But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
But, first, he must needs suffer, many things, and be rejected by this generation.
26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so, will it be, even in the days of the Son of Man:
27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
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.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
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, —
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all:
But, on the day Lot came out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: —
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
According to the same things, will it be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
31 In that day, he who shall be upon the house-top, and his furniture in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
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,
32 Remember Lot's wife.
Bear in mind the wife of Lot! Whosoever shall seek to make his life his own, shall lose it,
33 Whoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever shall lose his life, shall preserve it.
But, whosoever shall lose it, shall give it a living birth.
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two [men] in one bed; the one will be taken, and the other will be left.
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;
35 Two [women] will be grinding together; the one will be taken, and the other left.
There shall be two women grinding together, —the one, shall be taken near, and, the other, left behind.
36 Two [men] will be in the field; the one will be taken, and the other left.
37 And they answered and said to him, Where Lord? And he said to them, Wherever the body [is], thither will the eagles be collected.
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.
