< Luke 17 >

1 And Jhesu seide to hise disciplis, It is impossible that sclaundris come not; but wo to that man, bi whom thei comen.
And he said to his disciples, It is impossible for the stumbling-blocks not to come, but woe to him through whom they come!
2 It is more profitable to him, if a mylne stoon be put aboute his necke, and he be cast in to the see, than that he sclaundre oon of these litle.
It is better for him if a donkey-powered millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Take ye hede you silf; if thi brothir hath synned ayens thee, blame hym; and if he do penaunce, foryyue hym.
Take heed to yourselves. And if thy brother should sin against thee, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
4 And if seuene sithis in the dai he do synne ayens thee, and seuene sithis in the dai he be conuertid to thee, and seie, It forthenkith me, foryyue thou hym.
And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times in the day turn back, saying, I repent, thou will forgive him.
5 And the apostlis seiden to the Lord, Encrese to vs feith.
And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase faith for us.
6 And the Lord seide, If ye han feith as the corn of seneuei, ye schulen seie to this more tre, Be thou drawun vp bi the rote, and be ouerplauntid in to the see, and it schal obeie to you.
And the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard plant, ye would say to this sycamine tree, Be thou uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.
7 But who of you hath a seruaunt erynge, or lesewynge oxis, which seith to hym, whanne he turneth ayen fro the feeld, Anoon go, and sitte to mete;
But which of you having a bondman plowing or feeding livestock, who, when he comes in from the field, will straightaway say, After coming near, sit down?
8 and seith not to hym, Make redi, that Y soupe, and girde thee, and serue me, while Y ete and drynke, and aftir this thou schalt ete and drynke;
Will he not rather say to him, Prepare what I may dine, and having gird thyself, serve me until I eat and drink, and after these things thou will eat and drink?
9 whether he hath grace to that seruaunt, for he dide that that he comaundide hym?
Does he have a favor for that bondman because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 Nay, Y gesse. So ye, whanne ye han don alle thingis that ben comaundid to you, seie ye, We ben vnprofitable seruauntis, we han do that that we ouyten to do.
Thus ye also, when ye did all the things that were commanded you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen, because we have done what we are obligated to do.

15 And oon of hem, as he saiy that he was clensid, wente ayen, magnifiynge God with grete vois.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back with a great voice glorifying God.
16 And he fel doun on the face bifore hise feet, and dide thankyngis; and this was a Samaritan.
And he fell upon his face beside his feet giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jhesus answerde, and seide, Whether ten ben not clensid, and where ben the nyne?
And having answered, Jesus said, Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

nor will they say, Lo, here! or, Lo, there! For behold, the kingdom of God is inside of you.

23 And thei schulen seie to you, Lo! here, and lo there. Nyle ye go, nether sue ye;
And they will say to you, Lo, here! Lo, there! Do not depart, nor pursue.
24 for as leyt schynynge from vndur heuene schyneth in to tho thingis that ben vndur heuene, so schal mannus sone be in his dai.
For just as the lightning, its flashing from under the sky to under the sky, illuminates, so will the Son of man be in his day.

31 In that our he that is in the roof, and his vessels in the hous, come he not doun to take hem awei; and he that schal be in the feeld, also turne not ayen bihynde.
In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, let him not go down to take them up. And let him who is in the field likewise not return for the things behind.
