Luke

17 And he said unto his disciples:—It is impossible that occasions of stumbling should not come, Notwithstanding, alas! for him through whom they do come:

2 It profiteth him if a mill-stone is hung about his neck and he is cast into the sea, Than that he cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3 Be taking heed to yourselves,—If thy brother sin rebuke him, And if he repent forgive him;

4 Even if seven times a day he sin against thee and seven times turn to thee, saying I repent thou shalt forgive him.

5 And the apostles said unto the Lord—Bestow on us faith!

6 And the Lord said—If ye have faith like a grain of mustard-seed Ye should be saying unto [this] mulberry-tree—Be uprooted! and be planted in the sea,—And it should obey you.

7 But who from among you having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, when he hath come in out of the field will say to him—Straightway come and recline;—

8 on the contrary will not say to him—Make somewhat ready that I may dine,—and girding thyself be ministering unto me until I have eaten and drunk; and after these things thou shalt eat and drink?

9 Doth he offer thanks unto the servant because he hath done the things enjoined?

10 Thus ye also when ye have done all the things enjoined upon you say—Unprofitable servants are we,—What we were bound to do we have done!

11 And it came to pass during the journey unto Jerusalem that he was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And as he was entering into a certain village there met him ten leprous men, who stood still afar off;

13 and they lifted up a voice, saying—Jesus! Master! have mercy on us!

14 And beholding he said unto them—Go your way and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass as they withdrew they were cleansed.

15 But one from among them beholding that he was healed returned, with a loud voice glorifying God,—

16 and fell prostrate at his feet giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said—Were not the ten cleansed? [But] where are the nine?

18 Have none been found returning to give glory to God save this one of another race?

19 And he said unto him—Arise and go thy way: thy faith hath saved thee.

20 And being questioned by the Pharisees When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered them and said—The kingdom of God cometh not with narrow watching;

21 Neither shall they say—Lo here! or There. For lo! the kingdom of God is among you.

22 But he said unto the disciples—There will come days—When ye will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, And shall not see.

23 And they will say unto you Lo there! or Lo here! Do not [depart and do not] pursue.

24 For just as the lightning flashing out of the one part under heaven unto the other part under heaven shineth So shall be the Son of Man.

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

26 And as it came to pass in the days of Noah So will it be even in the days of the Son of Man:

27 They were eating, they were drinking, They were marrying, they were being given in marriage,—Until the day that Noah entered into the ark And the flood came and destroyed them all.

28 In like manner 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 on the day Lot came out from Sodom It rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all:—

30 According to the same things will it be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31 In that day he that shall be on the housetop and his utensils in the house Let him not go down to take them away! And he that is in the field In like manner let him not turn unto the things behind,

32 Bear in mind the wife of Lot! Whosoever shall seek to make his life his own shall lose it,

33 But whosoever shall lose it shall give it a living birth.

34 I say unto you—On the selfsame night there shall be two men on [one] bed,—The one shall be taken near and the other left behind;

35 There shall be two women grinding together,—The one shall be taken near and the other left behind.

37 And answering they say unto him—Where, Lord? And he said unto them—Where the body is there the vultures also will be gathered together.
