Luke 17
1 Then said He to the disciples, It is impossible that offences should not come: but wo to him by whom they come.
And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.
2 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.
It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.
3 Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.
4 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.
And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.
6 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.
And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.
7 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?
But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,
8 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.
Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?
9 Is he obliged to that servant for doing what he was ordered?
Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?
10 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.
In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.
11 And as He was going to Jerusalem, He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee;
And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.
12 and as He entered into a certain village, there met Him ten men that were lepers:
And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,
13 who stood at a distance, and lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus master, have pity on us.
Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 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.
And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.
15 And one of them, perceiving that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice glorifying God:
And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;
16 and fell prostrate at his feet, giving Him thanks; and He was a Samaritan.
And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.
17 And Jesus answered and said, Were not all the ten cleansed? and where are the other nine?
And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?
18 Are there none returning to give glory to God, but this stranger?
Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?
19 And He said to him, Arise, go thy way; thy faith hath saved thee.
And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.
20 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.
And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Behold it is here, or behold it is there; for the kingdom of God is within you.
And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.
22 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.
And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.
23 And they will say to you, Behold, He is here, or behold He is there: but go not after them, nor follow them.
And if they say to you, See, it is there! or, It is here! do not go away, or go after them.
24 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.
For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.
25 But He must suffer many things first, and be rejected by this generation.
But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side 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 was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.
27 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.
They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.
28 And as it was likewise in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building:
In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;
29 but the very day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.
30 Thus shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.
31 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.
On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.
32 Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it;
Keep in mind Lot's wife.
33 and whosoever will venture his life, shall preserve it.
If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.
34 In that night there shall be two in one bed; the one shall be taken and the other left:
I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.
35 two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken and the other left:
Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.
36 two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken and the other left.
37 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.
And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.
