The Good News According to Luke, Chapter 17
{17:1} He said to the [1>]talmidim[<1], "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 turns again, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him."
{17:5} The apostles 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 Yerushalayim, that he
was passing along the borders of Shomron and the Galil. {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 [2>]Kohanim[<2]." 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 Shomroni. {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 Perushim 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 [3>]talmidim[<3], "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 Noach, 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
Noach entered into the [4>]teivah[<4], 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 Sedom, 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 women grinding together. The one will be
taken, and the other will be left." {17:36}
{17:37} They answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?"
He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be
gathered together."
