17 And de he said legō to pros · ho his autos disciples mathētēs, “ It is eimi inevitable anendektos that ho occasions ho for stumbling skandalon will come erchomai, but plēn woe ouai to the one through dia whom hos they come erchomai!

Be on your heautou guard prosechō! If ean your sy brother adelphos sins hamartanō, · ho rebuke epitimaō him autos, and kai if ean he repents metanoeō, forgive aphiēmi him autos. And kai if ean he sins hamartanō against eis you sy seven heptakis times in ho a day hēmera, and kai seven heptakis times returns epistrephō to pros you sy saying legō, ‘ I repent metanoeō,’ you must forgive aphiēmi him autos.”

Which tis one · de of ek you hymeis, having echō a servant plowing arotriaō or ē tending poimainō sheep , who hos, when he comes eiserchomai in from ek the ho field agros, will say legō to him autos, ‘ Come here parerchomai at once eutheōs and recline anapiptō at dinner ’? Will he not ouchi, rather alla, say legō to him autos, ‘ Prepare hetoimazō what tis I am to eat deipneō, then kai change perizōnnymi clothes and wait diakoneō on me egō while heōs I eat esthiō and kai drink pinō, and kai after meta this houtos you sy may eat esthiō and kai drink pinō’?

11 · kai As en · ho Jesus was on his way poreuō to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm, · kai he autos passed dierchomai through dia the region between mesos Samaria Samareia and kai Galilee Galilaia. 12 · kai As he autos entered eiserchomai a certain tis village kōmē, ten deka men anēr with leprosy lepros met apantaō him autos, who hos normally stood histēmi at a distance porrōthen. 13 · kai They autos raised airō their voices phōnē, saying legō, “ Jesus Iēsous, Master epistatēs, have mercy eleeō on us hēmeis!” 14 · kai When he saw them, he said legō to them autos, “ Go poreuō and show epideiknymi yourselves heautou to the ho priests hiereus.” And kai as en · ho they autos went hypagō they were made clean katharizō. 15 Then de one heis of ek them autos, when he saw that hoti he had been healed iaomai, returned hypostrephō, praising doxazō God theos in meta a loud megas voice phōnē, · ho 16 and kai fell piptō on epi his face prosōpon at para · ho Jesus’ autos feet pous, giving eucharisteō him autos thanks— and kai he autos was eimi a Samaritan Samaritēs. 17 Then de Jesus Iēsous responded apokrinomai, · ho saying legō, “ Were not ouchi · ho ten deka made clean katharizō?

20 Having been asked eperōtaō · de by hypo the ho Pharisees Pharisaios when pote the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos would come erchomai, he answered apokrinomai them autos, · kai saying legō, “ The ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos will not ou come erchomai with meta observation paratērēsis. 21 Nor oude will they say legō, ‘ Look idou, here hōde it is!’ or ē, ‘ There ekei it is!’ For gar behold idou, the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos is eimi in the midst entos of you hymeis.”

22 And de he said legō to pros the ho disciples mathētēs, “ Days hēmera are coming erchomai when hote you will desire epithumeō to see one heis of the ho days hēmera of the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos, and kai you will not ou see horaō it. 23 And kai they will say legō to you hymeis, ‘ Look idou, there ekei!’ or ē, ‘ Look idou, here hōde!’ Do not go out aperchomai or mēde pursue diōkō them. 24 For gar just as hōsper the ho lightning astrapē, when it flashes astraptō, lights up lampō from ek one ho end hypo of ho heaven ouranos to eis the ho other hypo ouranos, so houtōs will be eimi the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos in en · ho his autos day hēmera. 25 But de first prōton he autos must dei suffer paschō many polys things and kai be rejected apodokimazō by apo · ho this houtos generation genea. 26 And kai just kathōs as it was ginomai in en the ho days hēmera of Noah Nōe, so houtōs also kai will it be eimi in en the ho days hēmera of the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos. 27 They were eating esthiō, they were drinking pinō, they were marrying gameō, they were being given gamizō in marriage , until achri the day hēmera in which hos Noah Nōe went eiserchomai into eis the ho ark kibōtos and kai the ho flood kataklysmos came erchomai and kai destroyed apollymi them all pas. 28 Likewise homoiōs, just kathōs as it was ginomai in en the ho days hēmera of Lot Lōt: they were eating esthiō, they were drinking pinō, they were buying agorazō, they were selling pōleō, they were planting phyteuō, they were building oikodomeō; 29 but de on the day hēmera in which hos Lot Lōt went exerchomai out of apo Sodom Sodoma, fire pyr and kai sulfur theion rained brechō down from apo heaven ouranos and kai destroyed apollymi them all pas. 30 It will be eimi just like this kata · ho on hos the day hēmera the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos is revealed apokalyptō.

31  On en that ekeinos · ho day hēmera the one who hos is eimi on epi the ho housetop dōma, and kai · ho his autos belongings skeuos are in en the ho house oikia, must not go katabainō down to get airō them autos, and kai likewise homoiōs the ho one who is in en the field agros must not turn epistrephō back eis ho. · ho 32 Remember mnēmoneuō · ho Lot’ s Lōt wife gynē. 33 Whoever hos ean tries zēteō to retain · ho his autos life psychē for himself peripoieō will lose apollymi it autos, and de whoever hos loses apollymi his life will preserve zōiogoneō it autos. 34 I tell legō you hymeis, on that houtos · ho night nyx there will be eimi two dyo in epi one heis bed klinē; · ho one heis will be taken paralambanō and kai the ho other heteros left aphiēmi behind . 35 There will be eimi two dyo women grinding alēthō at epi the ho mill together autos; · ho one heis will be taken paralambanō and de the ho other heteros left aphiēmi behind .” 37 Then kai the disciples said legō to him autos in response apokrinomai, “ Where pou, Lord kyrios?” And de he ho said legō to them autos, “ Where hopou the ho corpse sōma is, there ekei also kai the ho vultures aetos will be gathered episynagō.”

Sin, Faith, Duty

17 Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble(A) are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.(B) It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones(C) to stumble.(D) So watch yourselves.

“If your brother or sister[a] sins against you, rebuke them;(E) and if they repent, forgive them.(F) Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”(G)

The apostles(H) said to the Lord,(I) “Increase our faith!”

He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed,(J) you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.(K)

“Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me(L) while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’? Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? 10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”(M)

Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy

11 Now on his way to Jerusalem,(N) Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.(O) 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[b](P) met him. They stood at a distance(Q) 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master,(R) have pity on us!”

14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.”(S) And as they went, they were cleansed.

15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God(T) in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.(U)

17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”(V)

The Coming of the Kingdom of God(W)

20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come,(X) Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’(Y) because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”[c]

22 Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man,(Z) but you will not see it.(AA) 23 People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them.(AB) 24 For the Son of Man in his day[d] will be like the lightning,(AC) which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. 25 But first he must suffer many things(AD) and be rejected(AE) by this generation.(AF)

26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah,(AG) so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, 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.(AH) People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.(AI) 31 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.(AJ) 32 Remember Lot’s wife!(AK) 33 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.(AL) 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.”(AM) [36] [e]

37 “Where, Lord?” they asked.

He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.”(AN)
