Luke 17 Then he said to his disciples, "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to him through whom they do come!

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then he said to his disciples, "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to him through whom they do come! ² "It would be better for him to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. ³ "Watch yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. ⁴ And if he should offend you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn to you and say, I repent; forgive him. ⁵ The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith." ⁶ The Lord replied, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you! ⁷ "Suppose a man among you has a servant plowing or watching sheep. Would he say to him when he comes in from the field, 'Come at once and have something to eat'? ⁸ But will he not say to him, 'Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink, and afterward you can eat and drink'? ⁹ Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told? ¹⁰ So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’” ¹¹ Jesus traveled to Jerusalem. He went along the border between Samaria and Galilee. ¹² As he was going into a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance ¹³ and cried with a loud voice, saying, Jesus, master, have pity,on us. ¹⁴ When he saw them, he said to them, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed. ¹⁵ But one of them, when he saw that he was cured, came back, praising God with a loud voice, ¹⁶ He fell on his face at Jesus feet and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ Jesus said, Were not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? ¹⁸ Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" ¹⁹ Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!” ²⁰ And having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God is coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with careful observation, ²¹ Nor will people say 'Look, here it is!' or 'There it is!'; for the Kingdom of God is within you! ²² Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. ²³ People will say to you 'There he is! or 'Here he is!' Do not go and follow them. ²⁴ For the Son of man [will come] in His day just like lightning which flashes from one part of the sky and lights up the other part. ²⁵ But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. ²⁶ Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man: ²⁷ People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. ²⁸ It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. ²⁹ But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. ³⁰ It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed. ³¹ A man who is on the roof of his house that day, with his goods in the house, must not go down to get them, and a man in the field, too, must not turn back. ³² Remember Lot's wife. ³³ Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. ³⁴ I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: One will be taken and the other left. ³⁵ Two women will be grinding grain together: One will be taken and the other left.” ³⁷ “Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
