# Chapter 17
|
||
1 He said to his disciples, “Offenses will certainly come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
|
||
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
|
||
3 Be on your guard. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
|
||
4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and comes back to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
|
||
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
|
||
6 “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,” the Lord said, “you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.
|
||
7 “Which one of you having a servant tending sheep or plowing will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
|
||
8 Instead, will he not tell him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, get ready, and serve me while I eat and drink; later you can eat and drink’?
|
||
9 Does he thank that servant because he did what was commanded?
|
||
10 In the same way, when you have done all that you were commanded, you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we’ve only done our duty.’”
|
||
11 While traveling to Jerusalem, he passed between Samaria and Galilee.
|
||
12 As he entered a village, ten men with leprosy met him. They stood at a distance
|
||
13 and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
|
||
14 When he saw them, he told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And while they were going, they were cleansed.
|
||
15 But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God.
|
||
16 He fell facedown at his feet, thanking him. And he was a Samaritan.
|
||
17 Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
|
||
18 Didn’t any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?”
|
||
19 And he told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.”
|
||
20 When he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming with something observable;
|
||
21 no one will say, ‘See here!’ or ‘There!’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
|
||
22 Then he told the disciples, “The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you won’t see it.
|
||
23 They will say to you, ‘See there!’ or ‘See here!’ Don’t follow or run after them.
|
||
24 For as the lightning flashes from horizon to horizon and lights up the sky, so the Son of Man will be in his day.
|
||
25 But first it is necessary that he suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
|
||
26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man:
|
||
27 People went on eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage until the day Noah boarded the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
|
||
28 It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot: People went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building.
|
||
29 But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all.
|
||
30 It will be like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
|
||
31 On that day, a man on the housetop, whose belongings are in the house, must not come down to get them. Likewise the man who is in the field must not turn back.
|
||
32 Remember Lot’s wife!
|
||
33 Whoever tries to make his life secure will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.
|
||
34 I tell you, on that night two will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.
|
||
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.”
|
||
36
|
||
37 “Where, Lord?” they asked him.
|
||
He said to them, “Where the corpse is, there also the vultures will be gathered.” |
