Luke 17

1Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
2It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
3Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
4Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
5The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
5The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
6The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

7But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table’?
7Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
8Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
8Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you may eat and drink’?
9Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
9Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?
10Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”
10So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

12As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
12As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance
13They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
13and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
14When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.
15One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
15When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.
16He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
16He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.
17Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
17“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?
18Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”

20Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;
20When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.
21neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
21Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
22He 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.
22Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
23They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,
23People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.
24for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.

26As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
26Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:
27They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
27People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

29but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all.
29But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
30It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
31In that day, he who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.

32Remember Lot’s wife!

37“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
