| Chapter 17 |
1 |
And he said to his disciples, It cannot be but that offences come, but woe to him by whom they come! |
2 |
It would be more profitable for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should be a snare to one of these little ones. |
3 |
Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should repent, forgive him. |
4 |
And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times should return to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him. |
5 |
And the apostles said to the Lord, Give more faith to us. |
6 |
But the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye had said to this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you. |
7 |
But which of you is there who, having a bondman ploughing or shepherding, when he comes in out of the field, will say, Come and lie down immediately to table? |
8 |
But will he not say to him, Prepare what I shall sup on, and gird thyself and serve me that I may eat and drink; and after that *thou* shalt eat and drink? |
9 |
Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered? I judge not. |
10 |
Thus *ye* also, when ye shall have done all things that have been ordered you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen; we have done what it was our duty to do. |
11 |
And it came to pass as he was going up to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. |
12 |
And as he entered into a certain village ten leprous men met him, who stood afar off. |
13 |
And they lifted up their voice saying, Jesus, Master, have compassion on us. |
14 |
And seeing them he said to them, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as they were going they were cleansed. |
15 |
And one of them, seeing that he was cured, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice, |
16 |
and fell on his face at his feet giving him thanks: and *he* was a Samaritan. |
17 |
And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but the nine, where are they? |
18 |
There have not been found to return and give glory to God save this stranger. |
19 |
And he said to him, Rise up and go thy way: thy faith has made thee well. |
20 |
And having been asked by the Pharisees, When is the kingdom of God coming? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation; |
21 |
nor shall they say, Lo here, or, Lo there; for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you. |
22 |
And he said to the disciples, Days are coming, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it. |
23 |
And they will say to you, Lo here, or Lo there; go not, nor follow them. |
24 |
For as the lightning shines which lightens from one end under heaven to the other end under heaven, thus shall the Son of man be in his day. |
25 |
But first he must suffer many things and be rejected of this generation. |
26 |
And as it took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall it be in the days of the Son of man: |
27 |
they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all of them; |
28 |
and in like manner as took place in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; |
29 |
but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all of them: |
30 |
after this manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed. |
31 |
In that day, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. |
32 |
Remember the wife of Lot. |
33 |
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it. |
34 |
I say to you, In that night there shall be two men upon one bed; one shall be seized and the other shall be let go. |
35 |
Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be seized and the other shall be let go. |
36 |
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be seized and the other let go. |
37 |
And answering they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together. |
