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 the disciples, 'It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but woe [to him] 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.

it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may 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.

'Take heed to yourselves, and, if thy brother may sin in regard to thee, rebuke him, and if he may reform, 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.

and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.'

5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.

And the apostles said to the Lord, 'Add to 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 had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed 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 is he of you — having a servant ploughing or feeding — who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come near, recline at meat?

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?

but will not [rather] say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and having girded thyself about, minister to me, till I eat and drink, 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.

Hath he favour to that servant because he did the things directed? 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 also ye, when ye may have done all the things directed you, say — We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed 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, in his going on to Jerusalem, that he passed 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 he entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off,

13 And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

and they lifted up the voice, saying, 'Jesus, master, deal kindly with 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 having seen [them], he said to them, 'Having gone on, shew yourselves to the priests;' and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed,

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

and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, 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 he fell upon [his] face at his feet, giving thanks to him, 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, and the nine — where?

18 There are not found returning to give glory to God, save this stranger.

There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;'

19 And he said to him, Arise, depart: thy faith hath made thee whole.

and he said to him, 'Having risen, be going on, 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 having been questioned by the Pharisees, when the reign of God doth come, he answered them, and said, 'The reign of God doth not come with observation;

21 Neither will they say, Lo here! or lo there! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the reign of God is within 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].

And he said unto his disciples, 'Days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not behold [it];

23 And they will say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after [them], nor follow them.

and they shall say to you, Lo, here; or lo, there; ye may not go away, nor follow;

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 as the lightning that is lightening out of the one [part] under heaven, to the other part under heaven doth shine, so shall be also the Son of Man in his day;

25 But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.

and first it behoveth him to suffer many things, and to 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 shall it be also 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 given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed 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 also, 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:

and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

'According to these things it shall be, in 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 who shall be on the house top, and his vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, let him not turn backward;

32 Remember Lot's wife.

remember the wife of Lot.

33 Whoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever shall lose his life, shall preserve it.

Whoever may seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever may lose it, shall preserve it.

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 to you, In that night, there shall be two men on one couch, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;

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

two women shall be grinding at the same place together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;

36 Two [men] will be in the field; the one will be taken, and the other left.

two men shall be in the field, the one shall 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 they answering say to him, 'Where, sir?' and he said to them, 'Where the body [is], there will the eagles be gathered together.'
