Luca 17
La Bibbia della Gioia
17 Un giorno, Gesù disse ai discepoli: «È inevitabile che ci siano le tentazioni a peccare, ma guai a chi provoca la tentazione! 2-3 Se qualcuno crea degli ostacoli alla fede di queste persone semplici come bambini, sarebbe meglio per lui che fosse gettato in mare con una macina da mulino al collo! Vi ho avvertiti!
Rimprovera tuo fratello se pecca, ma perdonalo se si pente. 4 Perfino se sbaglia sette volte al giorno ed ogni volta viene a chiederti perdono, tu perdonalo».
5 Gli apostoli dissero al Signore: «Vogliamo avere più fede, dicci come dobbiamo fare!»
6 Gesù rispose: «Basterebbe che la vostra fede fosse grande come un granello di senape, per dire a questa pianta di sicomòro: “Sradicati e trapiantati in mare!” E vi ubbidirebbe. 7-9 Quando un servo torna a casa, dopo aver arato o aver pascolato il gregge, non viene invitato dal suo padrone a mangiare, anzi, prima di mettersi a tavola, dovrà preparare il pranzo per il suo padrone e poi glielo servirà. Quel servitore non viene neppure ringraziato, perché sta semplicemente facendo il suo dovere. 10 Questo vale anche per voi: quando avete fatto tutto ciò che vi è stato comandato dovete dire: “Siamo soltanto dei servitori. Abbiamo fatto semplicemente il nostro dovere!”»
11 Mentre continuavano il loro cammino verso Gerusalemme, Gesù e i discepoli raggiunsero il confine fra la Galilea e la Samaria. 12 Mentre entravano in un villaggio, gli si fecero incontro dieci lebbrosi che, dopo essersi fermati ad una certa distanza, 13 cominciarono a gridare: «Gesù, Signore, abbi pietà di noi!»
14 Gesù li guardò e disse: «Andate dal sacerdote e fategli vedere che siete guariti!» Quelli obbedirono e, mentre andavano, la lebbra scomparve dai loro corpi.
15 Uno di loro tornò indietro da Gesù, gridando: «Gloria a Dio, sono guarito!» 16 Poi si gettò a terra davanti a lui e lo ringraziò di ciò che aveva fatto. Questʼuomo era un samaritano. 17 Gesù allora osservò: «Non sono dieci gli uomini che ho guarito? Dove sono gli altri nove? 18 Soltanto questo straniero è tornato per glorificare Dio?!»
19 Poi si rivolse allʼuomo e gli disse: «Àlzati e vaʼ, la tua fede ti ha salvato!»
20 Un giorno, i Farisei chiesero a Gesù: «Quando comincerà il Regno di Dio?» Gesù rispose: «Il Regno di Dio non si avverte da segni visibili. 21 Non si potrà dire: “Eccolo qui, da questa parte”, o “eccolo là”. Il Regno di Dio è già in mezzo a voi!»
22 Più tardi, Gesù riprese lʼargomento con i suoi discepoli: «Verrà il tempo in cui voi desidererete con tutte le vostre forze la mia presenza, anche per un giorno soltanto, ma io non sarò più qui. 23 Diranno che sono ritornato. “Eccolo qui, eccolo là!” diranno, ma voi non credeteci e non mettetevi alla mia ricerca. 24 Perché, quando tornerò, lo saprete senza ombra di dubbio. Il mio ritorno balzerà agli occhi come il lampo che balena da un punto allʼaltro del cielo. 25 Prima, però, devo soffrire molto ed essere respinto dagli uomini di questa generazione.
26 Quando tornerò, il mondo sarà indifferente alle cose di Dio, proprio come lo era la gente ai tempi di Noè. 27 Mangiavano, bevevano e facevano lʼamore. Tutto procedeva come sempre, fino al giorno in cui Noè entrò nellʼarca; allora venne il diluvio che li spazzò via tutti.
28 Quando tornerò, il mondo sarà come ai tempi di Lot. La gente si occupava degli affari quotidiani: mangiava, beveva, comprava, vendeva, piantava alberi e costruiva case, 29 fino al mattino in cui Lot lasciò Sòdoma. Allora dal cielo Dio fece piovere fuoco e lava, e li distrusse tutti. 30 Proprio così, tutto procederà normalmente, fino al momento del mio ritorno.
31 Allora, quelli che quel giorno saranno fuori casa non dovranno ritornare per fare i bagagli; e chi sarà nei campi non dovrà rientrare in città. 32 Ricordatevi come finì la moglie di Lot! 33 Chi cercherà di salvare ad ogni costo la propria vita, la perderà; chi invece, darà la propria vita, la salverà. 34 Quella notte, quando tornerò, due uomini dormiranno nella stessa stanza: uno sarà preso, lʼaltro sarà lasciato. 35-36 Due donne saranno occupate insieme nei lavori di casa: una sarà presa e lʼaltra lasciata; e due uomini lavoreranno fianco a fianco nei campi; uno sarà preso e lʼaltro lasciato». Allora i discepoli gli chiesero:
37 «Signore, ma dove saranno presi?»
Gesù rispose: «Dove cʼè un cadavere, là si riuniscono gli avvoltoi!»

17 ειπεν δε προς τους μαθητας αυτου ανενδεκτον εστιν του τα σκανδαλα μη ελθειν πλην ουαι δι ου ερχεται
2 λυσιτελει αυτω ει λιθος μυλικος περικειται περι τον τραχηλον αυτου και ερριπται εις την θαλασσαν η ινα σκανδαλιση των μικρων τουτων ενα
3 προσεχετε εαυτοις εαν αμαρτη ο αδελφος σου επιτιμησον αυτω και εαν μετανοηση αφες αυτω
4 και εαν επτακις της ημερας αμαρτηση εις σε και επτακις επιστρεψη προς σε λεγων μετανοω αφησεις αυτω
5 και ειπαν οι αποστολοι τω κυριω προσθες ημιν πιστιν
6 ειπεν δε ο κυριος ει εχετε πιστιν ως κοκκον σιναπεως ελεγετε αν τη συκαμινω [ταυτη] εκριζωθητι και φυτευθητι εν τη θαλασση και υπηκουσεν αν υμιν
7 τις δε εξ υμων δουλον εχων αροτριωντα η ποιμαινοντα ος εισελθοντι εκ του αγρου ερει αυτω ευθεως παρελθων αναπεσε
8 αλλ ουχι ερει αυτω ετοιμασον τι δειπνησω και περιζωσαμενος διακονει μοι εως φαγω και πιω και μετα ταυτα φαγεσαι και πιεσαι συ
9 μη εχει χαριν τω δουλω οτι εποιησεν τα διαταχθεντα
10 ουτως και υμεις οταν ποιησητε παντα τα διαταχθεντα υμιν λεγετε οτι δουλοι αχρειοι εσμεν ο ωφειλομεν ποιησαι πεποιηκαμεν
11 και εγενετο εν τω πορευεσθαι εις ιερουσαλημ και αυτος διηρχετο δια μεσον σαμαρειας και γαλιλαιας
12 και εισερχομενου αυτου εις τινα κωμην απηντησαν δεκα λεπροι ανδρες οι ανεστησαν πορρωθεν
13 και αυτοι ηραν φωνην λεγοντες ιησου επιστατα ελεησον ημας
14 και ιδων ειπεν αυτοις πορευθεντες επιδειξατε εαυτους τοις ιερευσιν και εγενετο εν τω υπαγειν αυτους εκαθαρισθησαν
15 εις δε εξ αυτων ιδων οτι ιαθη υπεστρεψεν μετα φωνης μεγαλης δοξαζων τον θεον
16 και επεσεν επι προσωπον παρα τους ποδας αυτου ευχαριστων αυτω και αυτος ην σαμαριτης
17 αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν ουχ οι δεκα εκαθαρισθησαν οι [δε] εννεα που
18 ουχ ευρεθησαν υποστρεψαντες δουναι δοξαν τω θεω ει μη ο αλλογενης ουτος
19 και ειπεν αυτω αναστας πορευου η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε
20 επερωτηθεις δε υπο των φαρισαιων ποτε ερχεται η βασιλεια του θεου απεκριθη αυτοις και ειπεν ουκ ερχεται η βασιλεια του θεου μετα παρατηρησεως
21 ουδε ερουσιν ιδου ωδε η εκει ιδου γαρ η βασιλεια του θεου εντος υμων εστιν
22 ειπεν δε προς τους μαθητας ελευσονται ημεραι οτε επιθυμησετε μιαν των ημερων του υιου του ανθρωπου ιδειν και ουκ οψεσθε
23 και ερουσιν υμιν ιδου εκει η ιδου ωδε μη [απελθητε μηδε] διωξητε
24 ωσπερ γαρ η αστραπη αστραπτουσα εκ της υπο τον ουρανον εις την υπ ουρανον λαμπει ουτως εσται ο υιος του ανθρωπου
25 πρωτον δε δει αυτον πολλα παθειν και αποδοκιμασθηναι απο της γενεας ταυτης
26 και καθως εγενετο εν ταις ημεραις νωε ουτως εσται και εν ταις ημεραις του υιου του ανθρωπου
27 ησθιον επινον εγαμουν εγαμιζοντο αχρι ης ημερας εισηλθεν νωε εις την κιβωτον και ηλθεν ο κατακλυσμος και απωλεσεν παντας
28 ομοιως καθως εγενετο εν ταις ημεραις λωτ ησθιον επινον ηγοραζον επωλουν εφυτευον ωκοδομουν
29 η δε ημερα εξηλθεν λωτ απο σοδομων εβρεξεν πυρ και θειον απ ουρανου και απωλεσεν παντας
30 κατα τα αυτα εσται η ημερα ο υιος του ανθρωπου αποκαλυπτεται
31 εν εκεινη τη ημερα ος εσται επι του δωματος και τα σκευη αυτου εν τη οικια μη καταβατω αραι αυτα και ο εν αγρω ομοιως μη επιστρεψατω εις τα οπισω
32 μνημονευετε της γυναικος λωτ
33 ος εαν ζητηση την ψυχην αυτου περιποιησασθαι απολεσει αυτην ος δ αν απολεσει ζωογονησει αυτην
34 λεγω υμιν ταυτη τη νυκτι εσονται δυο επι κλινης [μιας] ο εις παραλημφθησεται και ο ετερος αφεθησεται
35 εσονται δυο αληθουσαι επι το αυτο η μια παραλημφθησεται η δε ετερα αφεθησεται
36 37 και αποκριθεντες λεγουσιν αυτω που κυριε ο δε ειπεν αυτοις οπου το σωμα εκει και οι αετοι επισυναχθησονται
Luke 17
New International Version
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) 2 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) 3 So watch yourselves.
“If your brother or sister[a] sins against you, rebuke them;(E) and if they repent, forgive them.(F) 4 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)
5 The apostles(H) said to the Lord,(I) “Increase our faith!”
6 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)
7 “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’? 8 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’? 9 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)
