Lucas 17
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Ocasiones de caer(A)
17 Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: «Es imposible que no vengan tropiezos, pero ¡ay de aquel por quien vengan! 2 Más le valdría que le colgaran al cuello una piedra de molino, y que lo arrojaran al mar, que servir de tropiezo a uno solo de estos pequeñitos. 3 Así que, ¡tengan cuidado! Si tu hermano peca contra ti, repréndelo; y si se arrepiente, perdónalo.(B) 4 Si en un solo día peca siete veces contra ti, y siete veces vuelve a ti el mismo día y te dice: “Me arrepiento”, perdónalo.»
Auméntanos la fe
5 Los apóstoles le dijeron al Señor: «Auméntanos la fe.» 6 Entonces el Señor les dijo: «Si ustedes tuvieran fe del tamaño de un grano de mostaza, podrían decirle a este sicómoro: “Desarráigate, y plántate en el mar”, y el sicómoro los obedecería.
El deber del siervo
7 »Si alguno de ustedes tiene un siervo que ara o apacienta el ganado, ¿acaso cuando él vuelve del campo le dice: “Pasa y siéntate a la mesa”? 8 ¡No! Más bien, le dice: “Prepárame la cena, y arréglate la ropa para servirme mientras yo como y bebo. Después podrás comer y beber tú.” 9 ¿Y acaso se le agradece al siervo el hacer lo que se le ordena? 10 Así también ustedes, cuando hayan hecho todo lo que se les ha ordenado, digan: “Somos siervos inútiles, no hemos hecho más que cumplir con nuestro deber.”»
Diez leprosos son limpiados
11 En su camino a Jerusalén, Jesús pasó entre Samaria y Galilea. 12 Al entrar en una aldea, le salieron al encuentro diez leprosos, los cuales se quedaron a cierta distancia de él, 13 y levantando la voz le dijeron: «¡Jesús, Maestro, ten compasión de nosotros!» 14 Cuando él los vio, les dijo: «Vayan y preséntense ante los sacerdotes.»(C) Y sucedió que, mientras ellos iban de camino, quedaron limpios. 15 Entonces uno de ellos, al ver que había sido sanado, volvió alabando a Dios a voz en cuello, 16 y rostro en tierra se arrojó a los pies de Jesús y le dio las gracias. Este hombre era samaritano. 17 Jesús dijo: «¿No eran diez los que fueron limpiados? ¿Dónde están los otros nueve? 18 ¿No hubo quien volviera y alabara a Dios sino este extranjero?» 19 Y al samaritano le dijo: «Levántate y vete. Tu fe te ha salvado.»
La venida del Reino(D)
20 Cuando los fariseos le preguntaron cuándo había de venir el reino de Dios, él les respondió: «El reino de Dios no vendrá con advertencia, 21 ni se dirá: “Aquí está”, o “Allí está”;(E) porque el reino de Dios está entre ustedes.» 22 A sus discípulos les dijo: «Llegará el tiempo cuando ustedes querrán ver siquiera uno de los días del Hijo del Hombre, y no lo verán. 23 Les dirán: “Está aquí”, o “está allí”, pero no vayan ni los sigan. 24 Porque como el relámpago que al fulgurar resplandece de un extremo del cielo hasta el otro, así también será el día del Hijo del Hombre. 25 Pero primero es necesario que padezca mucho, y que sea desechado por esta generación. 26 Tal y como sucedió en los días de Noé,(F) así también sucederá en los días del Hijo del Hombre. 27 La gente comía y bebía, y se casaba y se daba en casamiento, hasta el día en que Noé entró en el arca; entonces vino el diluvio y los destruyó a todos.(G) 28 Lo mismo sucedió en los días de Lot:(H) la gente comía y bebía, compraba y vendía, plantaba y edificaba casas; 29 pero cuando Lot salió de Sodoma, llovió del cielo fuego y azufre, y los destruyó a todos. 30 Así será el día en que el Hijo del Hombre se manifieste. 31 En aquel día, el que esté en la azotea y tenga sus bienes en su casa, que no baje a tomarlos; y el que esté en el campo, que no regrese a su casa.(I) 32 ¡Acuérdense de la mujer de Lot!(J) 33 Todo el que procure salvar su vida, la perderá; y todo el que la pierda, la salvará.(K) 34 Yo les digo que esa noche, si dos están en una cama, uno de ellos será tomado, y el otro será dejado. 35 Si dos mujeres están moliendo juntas, una de ellas será tomada, y la otra será dejada. 36 Si dos están en el campo, uno de ellos será tomado, y el otro será dejado.» 37 Entonces le preguntaron: «Y eso, Señor, ¿dónde ocurrirá?» Y Jesús les respondió: «Donde está el cadáver, allí se juntan los buitres.»
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)

Luke 17
King James Version
17 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
Luke 17
Darby Translation
17 And he said to his disciples, It cannot be but that offences come, but woe [to him] by whom they come!
2 It would be [more] profitable for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should be a snare to one of these little ones.
3 Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should repent, forgive him.
4 And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times should return to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.
5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Give more faith to us.
6 But the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye had said to this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.
7 But which of you [is there] who, having a bondman ploughing or shepherding, when he comes in out of the field, will say, Come and lie down immediately to table?
8 But will he not say to him, Prepare what I shall sup on, and gird thyself and serve me that I may eat and drink; and after that *thou* shalt eat and drink?
9 Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered? I judge not.
10 Thus *ye* also, when ye shall have done all things that have been ordered you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen; we have done what it was our duty to do.

22 And he said to the disciples, Days are coming, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see [it].
23 And they will say to you, Lo here, or Lo there; go not, nor follow [them].
24 For as the lightning shines which lightens from [one end] under heaven to [the other end] under heaven, thus shall the Son of man be in his day.
25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.
26 And as it took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall it be in the days of the Son of man:
27 they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all [of them];
28 and in like manner as took place in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all [of them]:
30 after this [manner] shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that day, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
