chevron_leftchevron_right

Luke 17

1And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come. But woe to him through whom they come!

2It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones.

3Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him.

4And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying: I repent: forgive him.

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

6And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree: Be thou rooted up and be thou transplanted into the sea. And it would obey you.

7But which of you, having a servant ploughing or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go. Sit down to meat.

8And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper and gird thyself and serve me, whilst I eat and drink; and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink?

9Doth he thank that servant for doing the things which he commanded him?

10I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.

11And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off.

13And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean.

15And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.

16And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks. And this was a Samaritan.

17And Jesus answering, said: Were not ten made clean? And where are the nine?

18There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.

19And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.

20And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God should come, he answering them and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation.

21Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you.

22And he said to his disciples: The days will come when you shall desire to see one day of the Son of man. And you shall not see it.

23And they will say to you: See here, and see there. Go ye not after, nor follow them.

24For as the lightning that lighteneth from under heaven shineth unto the parts that are under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.

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

26And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

27They did eat and drink, they married wives and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all.

28Likewise as it came to pass in the days of Lot. They did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built.

29And in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

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

31In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back.

32Remember Lot's wife.

33Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it.

34I say to you: In that night there shall be two men in one bed. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left.

35Two women shall be grinding together. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left. Two men shall be in the field. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left.

36They answering, say to him: Where, Lord?

37Who said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles also be gathered together.

Luke 17

1Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

2It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

3Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

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

6And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

7But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

8And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

9Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

10So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

11And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

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

14And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

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

16And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

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

19And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

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

22And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

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

24For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

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

26And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

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

31In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff 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.

32Remember Lot’s wife.

33Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

34I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

35Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

37And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
