Luke 17

17
Instructions
1Now He said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that #17:1 Or temptations to sinstumbling blocks come, but woe to one through whom they come! 2It is better for him if a millstone is hung around his neck and he #17:2 Lit has been thrown (intensive)is thrown into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to #17:2 Or stumblesin. 3#17:3 Lit Take heed for yourselvesBe on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
5The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” 6But the Lord said, “If you #17:6 Lit havehad faith #17:6 Lit likethe size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would #17:6 Lit have obeyedobey you.
7 “Now which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him after he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and recline at the table to eat’? 8On the contrary, will he not say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, and properly #17:8 Lit belt upclothe yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; and #17:8 Lit after these thingsafterward you #17:8 Lit willmay eat and drink’? 9He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he? 10So you too, when you do all the things which were commanded you, say, ‘We are #17:10 I.e., possibly unworthy of praiseunworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’ ”
Ten Men with Leprosy Healed
11While He was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing #17:11 Lit through the middle ofbetween Samaria and Galilee. 12And as He entered a village, ten men with leprosy who stood at a distance met Him; 13and they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14When He saw them, He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were going, they were cleansed. 15Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice, 16and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan. 17But Jesus responded and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they? 18#17:18 Lit Were they not found whoWas no one found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?” 19And He said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has #17:19 Or saved youmade you well.”
Second Coming Foretold
20Now He was questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, and He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with #17:20 Lit observationsigns that can be observed; 21nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is #17:21 Or among youin your midst.”
22And He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23And they will say to you, ‘Look there,’ or, ‘Look here!’ Do not leave, and do not run after them. 24For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part #17:24 Lit under heaven; i.e., the lowest heaven, the skyof the sky, shines to the other part #17:24 Lit under heaven; i.e., the lowest heaven, the skyof the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day. 25But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of Man: 27people were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, and they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28#17:28 Lit In the same way asIt was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, and they were building; 29but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and #17:29 I.e., burning sulfurbrimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30It will be #17:30 Lit according to the same thingsjust the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. 31On that day, the one who will be on the #17:31 Housetops were flat living areashousetop, #17:31 Lit and hiswith his goods in the house, must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one in the field must not turn back. 32Remember Lot’s wife. 33Whoever strives to #17:33 Or securesave his #17:33 Or soullife will lose it, and whoever loses his life will keep it. 34I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. 35There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left. 36[#17:36 Early mss do not contain this vTwo men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left.”] 37And responding, they *said to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “Where the body is, there also the #17:37 Or eaglesvultures will be gathered.”
