Luke 17
1 Then said
he unto the
disciples, It
is impossible but that
offences will
come:
but woe unto him,
through whom they
come!
2 It 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. 3 Take
heed to
yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he
repent,
forgive him. 4 And 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. 5 And the
apostles said unto the
Lord, Increase our faith. 6 And 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. 7 But 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?
8 And 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?
9 Doth he thank that servant because he
did the things that were
commanded him? I
trow not. 10 So 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.
11 And it came to
pass,
as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the
midst of
Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as
he entered into a
certain village, there
met him ten men that were
lepers, which stood afar
off: 13 And they lifted
up their
voices, and
said,
Jesus, Master, have
mercy on
us. 14 And 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.
15 And one of them, when he
saw that he was
healed, turned
back, and
with a
loud voice glorified God, 16 And fell
down on his
face at his feet, giving him thanks:
and he was a
Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering said, Were
there not ten cleansed?
but where are the
nine? 18 There
are not found that
returned to
give glory to
God, save this stranger. 19 And he
said unto
him, Arise, go thy
way:
thy faith hath
made thee whole.
20 And 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: 21 Neither shall they
say,
Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the
kingdom of
God is within you. 22 And 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.
23 And they shall
say to
you, See here; or, see there: go not after them,
nor follow them.
24 For 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. 25 But first must he suffer many
things, and be
rejected of this generation. 26 And as it
was in the
days of
Noe, so shall it
be also in the
days of the
Son of
man. 27 They 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. 28 Likewise also as it
was in the
days of
Lot; they did
eat, they
drank, they
bought, they
sold, they
planted, they
builded;
29 But the same
day that
Lot went out
of Sodom it
rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them
all. 30 Even thus shall it
be in the
day when the
Son of
man is
revealed.
31 In 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.
32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whosoever shall seek to
save his life shall
lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall
preserve it. 34 I
tell you, in
that night there shall
be two men
in one bed; the
one shall be
taken,
and the
other shall be
left.
35 Two women shall
be grinding together; the
one shall be
taken,
and the
other left.
36 Two men shall
be in the
field; the
one shall be
taken,
and the
other left.
37 And they
answered and
said unto
him, Where, Lord? And he
said unto
them, Wheresoever the
body is,
thither will the
eagles be gathered
together.
