| 17 | Luke | ||
| 1 | HE SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES, 'Causes of stumbling are bound to arise; but woe betide the man through whom they come. | Sin Lk.17.1-4 (Peraea) -[ Lk.17.1-4 → ] - Mt.18.6-7, Mt.18.21-22, Mk.9.42 | |
| 2 | It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone round his neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. | ||
| 3 | Keep a watch on yourselves. 'If your brother wrongs you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. | ← | |
| 4 | Even if he wrongs you seven times in a day and comes back to you seven times saying, "I am sorry", you are to forgive him.' | ||
| 5 | The apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith'; | Faith Lk.17.5-6 (borders of Samaria) - | |
| 6 | and the Lord replied, 'If you had faith no bigger even than a mustard-seed, you could say to this sycamore-tree, "Be rooted up and replanted in the sea", and it would at once obey you. | ||
| 7 | Suppose one of you has a servant ploughing or minding sheep. When he comes back from the fields, will the master say, "Come along at once and sit down"? | A servant's duty Lk.17.7-10 (borders of Samaria) - | |
| 8 | Will he not rather say, "Prepare my supper, fasten your belt, and then wait on me while I have my meal; you can have yours afterwards"? | ||
| 9 | Is he grateful to the servant for carrying out his orders? | ||
| 10 | So with you: when you have carried out all your orders, you should say, "We are servants and deserve no credit; we have only done our duty." ' | ||
| 11 | In the course of his journey to Jerusalem he was travelling through the borderlands of Samaria and Galilee. | The Cleansing of Ten Lepers Lk.17.11-19 (borders of Samaria) - | |
| 12 | As he was entering a village he was met by ten men with leprosy. | ||
| 13 | They stood some way off and called out to him, 'Jesus, Master, take pity on us.' | ||
| 14 | When he saw them he said, 'Go and show yourselves to the priests'; and while they were on their way, they were made clean. | ||
| 15 | One of them, finding himself cured, turned back praising God aloud. | ||
| 16 | He threw himself down at Jesus's feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. | ||
| 17 | At this Jesus said: 'Were not all ten cleansed? The other nine, where are they? | ||
| 18 | Could none be found to come back and give praise to God except this foreigner?' | ||
| 19 | And he said to the man, 'Stand up and go on your way; your faith has cured you.' | ||
| 20 | THE PHARISEES ASKED HIM, 'When will the kingdom of God come?' He said, 'You cannot tell by observation when the kingdom of God comes. | The Coming of the Kingdom Lk.17.20-37 (borders of Samaria) -[ Lk.17.20-37 → ] - Mt.24.23-28, Mt.24.37-41 | |
| 21 | There will be no saying, "Look, here it is!" or "there it is!"; for in fact the kingdom of God is among you.' | ||
| 22 | He said to the disciples, 'The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. | ||
| 23 | They will say to you, "Look! There!" and "Look! Here!" Do not go running off in pursuit. | ||
| 24 | For like the lightning-flash that lights up the earth from end to end, will the Son of Man be when his day comes. | ||
| 25 | But first he must endure much suffering and be repudiated by this generation. | ||
| 26 | 'As things were in Noah's days, so will they be in the days of the Son of Man. | The Unknown Day and Hour Lk.17.26-30[ Lk.17.26-30 → ] - Mt.24.36-44, Mk.13.32-37, Lk.17.34-36 | |
| 27 | They ate and drank and married, until the day that Noah went into the ark and the flood came and made an end of them all. | ||
| 28 | As things were in Lot's days, also: they ate and drank; they bought and sold; they planted and built; | ||
| 29 | but the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from the sky and made an end of them all? | ||
| 30 | it will be like that on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. | ||
| 31 | 'On that day the man who is on the roof and his belongings in the house must not come down to pick them up; he, too, who is in the fields must not go back. | ||
| 32 | Remember Lot's wife. | ||
| 33 | Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it; and whoever loses it will save it, and live. | ||
| 34 | 'I tell you, on that night there will be two men in one bed: one will be taken, the other left. | ||
| 35 | There will be two women together grinding corn: one will be taken, the other left.' | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | When they heard this they asked, 'Where, Lord?' He said, 'Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.' | ||
