Luke 17
1Then said he unto the disciples,
It is impossible but that temptations to sin will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2It would be better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he was cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3Take heed to yourselves: If your brother trespasses against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4And if he trespasses against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns again to you, saying, I repent; you shall forgive him.
5And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6And the Lord said,
If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say unto this sycamine tree, Be plucked up by the root, and be planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
7But 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 eat?
8And will not rather say unto him, Make ready that I may eat, and gird yourself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward you shall eat and drink?
9Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.
10So likewise you, when you 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.
11And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off:
13And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Teacher, have mercy on us.
14And when he saw them, he said unto them,
Go show yourselves unto the priests.
And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17And Jesus answering said,
Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18There was not found one that returned to give glory to God, except this stranger.
19And he said unto him,
Arise, go your way: your faith has made you whole.
20And when he was demanded by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said,
The kingdom of God comes not with outward observation:
21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.
22And he said unto the disciples,
The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you shall not see it.
23And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24For as the lightning, that flashing out of the one part under heaven, shines unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31In that day, he who shall be upon the housetop, and his goods 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.
32Remember Lot's wife.
33Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them,
Wherever the body is, there will the vultures be gathered together.
