Luke 17 — WEBU
17Verse 1He said to the disciples,“It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!Verse 2It 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.Verse 3Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.Verse 4If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”Verse 5The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”Verse 6The 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.Verse 7But 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’?Verse 8Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?Verse 9Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.Verse 10Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”Verse 11As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.Verse 12As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.Verse 13They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”Verse 14When he saw them, he said to them,“Go and show yourselves to the priests.”As they went, they were cleansed.Verse 15One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.Verse 16He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.Verse 17Jesus answered,“Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?Verse 18Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”Verse 19Then he said to him,“Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”Verse 20Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them,“God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;Verse 21neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”Verse 22He 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.Verse 23They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,Verse 24for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.Verse 25But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.Verse 26As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.Verse 27They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.Verse 28Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;Verse 29but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all.Verse 30It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.Verse 31In 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.Verse 32Remember Lot’s wife!Verse 33Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.Verse 34I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left.Verse 35There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.”Verse 36+Verse 37They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them,“Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.”
