Luke
Chapter 17
17:1 And he said to his disciples, It is inevitable that offenses might come, but woe to him, through whom they come!
17:2 It is beneficial for him if a millstone rotated by a donkey encompassed his neck and he were tossed into the sea, rather than that* he should offend one of these little ones.
17:3 Take-heed to yourselves; and if your brother sins{F} against you, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
17:4 And if he{F} sins against you seven times in the day and should turn again to you seven times in the day, saying, I repent. You will forgive him.
17:5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Add to our faith .
17:6 And the Lord said, If you* have faith like a kernel of a mustard-seed, you* might say to this mulberry tree, Be uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would obey* you*.
17:7 But which one out of you*, having a bondservant plowing or tending the flock, will say to him, when he has come in from the field, Come immediately and lean-back at the table.
17:8 But will you* not, rather say to him, Prepare something so I may dine. And when you gird yourself, serve me, while I eat and drink, and you may eat and may drink after these things.
17:9 He does not give gratitude to that bondservant because he did the things that were commanded him, does he? I think not.
17:10 So also you*, whenever you* have done all the things that are commanded you*, say, We are useless bondservants because we have done what we were obligated to do.
{Lk 17:11-37; Borders of Samaria and Galilee; Lk 18:1-14; early 30 AD.}
17:11 And it happened, as he was traveling to Jerusalem, that he was going through the middle of Samaria and Galilee.
17:12 And as he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him there, who stood farther out;
17:13 and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master*, have mercy on us.
17:14 And when he saw them, he said to them, Go and show yourselves to the priests.
And it happened, as they went, they were cleansed.
17:15 And one out of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God;
17:16 and he fell upon his face beside his feet, giving-thanks to him and he was a Samaritan.
17:17 And answering, Jesus said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where were the nine?
17:18 Was there no one found, except this immigrant, who returned to give glory to God?
17:19 And he said to him, Stand and go-onward. Your faith has cured you.
17:20 And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God is coming, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God is not coming with observation;
17:21 nor will they say, Behold, here! Or, behold there! For* behold, the kingdom of God is within you*.
17:22 And he said to the disciples, The days will come, when you* will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man and you* will not see it.
17:23 And they will say to you*, Behold, here! Behold, there! Do not go away, nor should you* pursue them.
17:24 For* just-like the lightning, which flashes from the one end under heaven, shines to the other end under heaven; so will the Son of Man be in his day.
17:25 But first it is essential for him to suffer many things and to be rejected* by this generation.
17:26 And as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
17:27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were betrothed, until the day that Noah entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all.
17:28 Likewise even as it happened in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
17:29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
17:30 According to the same things, it will be in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
17:31 In that day, he who will be upon the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away and let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
17:32 Remember Lot's wife.
17:33 Whoever seeks to save his life, will lose it, but whoever loses it, will preserve it.
17:34 I say to you*, There will be two men upon one bed in that night; the one will be taken and the other will be left.
17:35 There will be two women grinding together; the one will be taken and the other will be left.
17:36{F} There will be two men in the field; the one will be taken and the other will be left.
17:37 And they answering say to him, Where, Lord?
And he said to them, Where the body is, the vultures will also be gathered together there.
