The Good News According to Luke, Chapter 17
{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!
{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. {17:3} Be careful. If your
brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
{17:4} If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times
returns, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him."
{17:5} The emissaries said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
{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. {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,'
{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'? {17:9} Does he thank that servant because he did
the things that were commanded? I think not. {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.'"
{17:11} It happened as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that he was
passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee. {17:12} As he
entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who
stood at a distance. {17:13} They lifted up their voices, saying,
"Yeshua, Master, have mercy on us!"
{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.
{17:15} One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back,
glorifying God with a loud voice. {17:16} He fell on his face at
Yeshua's feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan. {17:17}
Yeshua answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
{17:18} Were there none found who returned to give glory to God,
except this stranger?" {17:19} Then he said to him, "Get up, and go
your way. Your faith has healed you."
{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; {17:21} neither will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look,
there!' for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you."
{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. {17:23} They will tell you, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Don't
go away, nor follow after them, {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. {17:25} But
first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
{17:26} As it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in
the days of the Son of Man. {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. {17:28}
Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they
drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; {17:29} but
in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur
from the sky, and destroyed them all. {17:30} It will be the same way
in the day that the Son of Man is revealed. {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. {17:32} Remember Lot's wife! {17:33} Whoever seeks to save
his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it. {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. {17:35} There will be two
grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be
left." {17:36} [1]
{17:37} They, answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?"
He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be
gathered together."
