Luke 17

¹And he said to his disciples, It is impossible but that stumbling-blocks will come; but woe to him through whom they come!

²It were better for him to have a millstone hung round his neck, and be cast into the sea, than to cause one of these little ones to fall away.

³Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

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

⁵And the apostles said to the Lord, Give us more faith.

⁶But the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to this sycamine-tree, Be plucked up by the roots, and planted in the sea! and it would obey you.

⁷And which of you having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he hath come in from the field, Come immediately and place thyself at table?

⁸Will he not rather say to 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 owe any thanks to that servant, because he did what was commanded?

¹⁰So also do ye, when ye have done all that hath been commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were bound to do.

¹¹And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, that he was traveling on the confines of Samaria and Galilee.

¹²And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten lepers, who stood afar off.

¹³And they lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus, Master, have pity on us.

¹⁴And when he saw them, he said to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

¹⁵And one of them, perceiving that he was freed from his disease, turned back, giving glory to God with a loud voice;

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

¹⁷And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? Where are the nine?

¹⁸Were there none found returning to give glory to God but this foreigner?

¹⁹And he said to him, Rise and go; thy faith hath made thee well.

²⁰And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not in such a manner as to be watched for;

²¹nor will they say, Lo here! or there! for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.

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

²³And they will say to you, Lo there! lo here! Go not away, and follow not.

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

²⁵But first he must suffer much, and be rejected by this generation.

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

²⁷They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

²⁸In like manner, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

²⁹but on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

³⁰Thus will it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

³¹In that day, let not him who is upon the house-top, and whose furniture is in the house, come down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not turn back.

³²Remember Lot’s wife.

³³Whoever shall seek to save his life will lose it; and whoever shall lose it will preserve it.

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

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

³⁷And they answering say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there also will the eagles 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.
