Luke 17
Luk 17:1 He said to the
disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling
should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
Luk 17:2 It 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.
Luk 17:3 Be careful. If
your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive
him.
Luk 17:4 If he sins
against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying,
'I repent,' you shall forgive him."
Luk 17:5 The apostles
said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
Luk 17:6 The 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.
Luk 17:7 But 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,'
Luk 17:8 and will not
rather tell him, 'Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and
serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink'?
Luk 17:9 Does he thank
that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think
not.
Luk 17:10 Even so you
also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say,
'We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.' "
Luk 17:11 It happened
as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the
borders of Samaria and Galilee.
Luk 17:12 As he entered
into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at
a distance.
Luk 17:13 They lifted
up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
Luk 17:14 When he saw
them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests."
It happened that as they went, they were cleansed.
Luk 17:15 One of them,
when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a
loud voice.
Luk 17:16 He fell on
his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
Luk 17:17 Jesus
answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
Luk 17:18 Were there
none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?"
Luk 17:19 Then he said
to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."
Luk 17:20 Being asked
by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, he answered
them, "The Kingdom of God doesn't come with observation;
Luk 17:21 neither will
they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the Kingdom of
God is within you."
Luk 17:22 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.
Luk 17:23 They will
tell you, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Don't go away, nor follow
after them,
Luk 17:24 for as the
lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines
to the other part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his
day.
Luk 17:25 But first, he
must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
Luk 17:26 As it
happened in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of
the Son of Man.
Luk 17:27 They ate,
they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day
that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came, and destroyed
them all.
Luk 17:28 Likewise,
even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they
bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
Luk 17:29 but in the
day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the
sky, and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:30 It will be
the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
Luk 17:31 In 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.
Luk 17:32 Remember
Lot's wife!
Luk 17:33 Whoever seeks
to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
Luk 17:34 I tell you,
in that night there will be two people in one bed. The one will be
taken, and the other will be left.
Luk 17:35 There will be
two grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be
left."
Luk 17:36 Two will be
in the field: the one taken, and the other left."
Luk 17:37 They,
answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them,
"Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered
together."
