Luke 17

Then Jesus said to the disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to the one through whom they 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.

3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother shall trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he shall repent forgive him.
Watch yourselves. If yoʋr brother sins against yoʋ, rebuke him. If he repents, 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 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.”
5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our 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.
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.
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?
“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’?
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?
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’?
9 Doth he thank that servant, because he did the things that were commanded him? I suppose not.
Do yoʋ thank that servant because he did what he was commanded? I think not.
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.
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.’”
11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
He then fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. (Now he was a Samaritan.)
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where [are] the nine?
In response Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where then are the other nine?
18 There are not found returning to give glory to God, save this stranger.
Were there none found who came back to give glory to God except this foreigner?”
19 And he said to him, Arise, depart: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Then he said to the man, “Rise and go on yoʋr way; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.”
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.
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,

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].
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.
23 And they will say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after [them], nor follow them.
People will say to you, ‘Behold, here he is!’ or, ‘Behold, there he is!’ Do not go off with them or run after them,
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 lightning flashes from one part of the sky and shines to the other, 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 first he must 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.
Just 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 wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

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.
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.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
Remember Lot's wife.
33 Whoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever shall lose his life, shall preserve it.

35 Two [women] will be grinding together; the one will be taken, and the other left.

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.
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.”
