Luke 17 And Jesus said to his disciples: It cannot be, but that offences will come: but woe to him, by whom they come.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Jesus said to his disciples: It cannot be, but that offences will come: but woe to him, by whom they come. ² Better for him were it, if a millstone were suspended to his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble. ³ Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother transgress, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. ⁴ And if he shall offend against thee seven times in a day, and, seven times in a day, shall turn himself to thee, and say, I repent; forgive him. ⁵ And the Legates said to our Lord: Increase our faith. ⁶ He said to them: If ye had faith like a grain of mustard seed, ye might say to this mulberry-tree, Be thou torn up by the roots, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you. ⁷ Which of you, having a servant driving a yoke of oxen, or tending sheep, will say to him when he cometh from the field, Pass on at once, and recline for supper? ⁸ But he will say to him: Prepare for me what I may sup upon, and gird thy loins and serve me, until I have eaten and drunken; and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink. ⁹ Hath he thanks for him, because the servant did what was commanded him? I think not. ¹⁰ So also ye, when ye have done all the things commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants, for we have done only what we were obligated to do. ¹¹ And it occurred as Jesus advanced towards Jerusalem, that he passed among the Samaritans into Galilee. ¹² And when he drew near to enter a certain village, there met him ten leprous men; and they stood at a distance, ¹³ and raised their voice, and said: Our Rabbi, Jesus, have compassion upon us. ¹⁴ And when he had looked upon them, he said to them: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And as they were going, they were cleansed. ¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned, and with a loud voice, glorified God. ¹⁶ And he fell on his face, at the feet of Jesus, and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answered, and said: Were they not ten who were cleansed? Where are the nine? ¹⁸ Have they so gone as not to come and give glory to God; except this one, who is of another nation? ¹⁹ And he said to him; Arise, and go: thy faith hath given thee life. ²⁰ And as some of the Pharisees asked him, When the kingdom of God would come; he answered, and said to them: The kingdom of God will not come with observables. ²¹ And they will not say: Behold, here it is! or, Behold, it is there! For lo, the kingdom of God is within you ²² And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when ye will long to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye will not see them. ²³ And if they shall say to you: Lo, here he is! or, Lo, there he is! go not forth. ²⁴ For, as the lightning darteth from the heavens, and illuminateth all beneath the heavens; so will the Son of man be, in his day. ²⁵ But, previously, he is to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation. ²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of man. ²⁷ They ate and drank, they took wives and were given to husbands, until the day that Noah entered the ark; and the flood came, and destroyed every one. ²⁸ And again, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate and drank, bought and sold, planted and built. ²⁹ But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, the Lord rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed them all. ³⁰ Thus will it be, in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed. ³¹ In that day, let him that is on the house-top, and his goods in the house, not come down to take them: and let him that is in the field, not return after what is behind him. ³² Remember Lot's wife. ³³ He that desireth to preserve his life, will lose it; and he that will lose his life, shall preserve it. ³⁴ I tell you, that, in that night, two will be in one bed; one will be taken, and the other left. ³⁵ And two females will be grinding together; one will be taken, and the other left. ³⁶ Two men will be in the field; one will be taken, and the other left. ³⁷ They answered, and said to him: Whither, our Lord? He said to them: Where the body is, there will the eagles assemble themselves.
