Luke 17
1 He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him 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 millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should 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 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother transgress, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall 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 would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted and be 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 But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down 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 Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall 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 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
Hath he thanks for him, because the servant did what was commanded him? I think not.
10 Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”
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 As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
And it occurred as Jesus advanced towards Jerusalem, that he passed among the Samaritans into Galilee.
12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, 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 and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, 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 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned 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 fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
And he fell on his face, at the feet of Jesus, and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
And Jesus answered, and said: Were they not ten who were cleansed? Where are the nine?
18 Were there none found who returned 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 him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”
And he said to him; Arise, and go: thy faith hath given thee life.
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;
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 neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom 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 He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and 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 They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,
And if they shall say to you: Lo, here he is! or, Lo, there he is! go not forth.
24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, 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 As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also 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 They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, 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 Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
And again, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate and drank, bought and sold, planted and built.
29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky 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 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
Thus will it be, in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.
31 In that day, he who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise 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 loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves 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, in that night there will be two people 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 There will be two 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 They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will also 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.
