絆倒人的有禍

17 耶穌又對門徒說:「絆倒人的事是免不了的,但那絆倒人的有禍了! 就是把磨石拴在這人的頸項上,丟在海裡,還強如他把這小子裡的一個絆倒了。 你們要謹慎!若是你的弟兄得罪你,就勸誡他。他若懊悔,就饒恕他。 倘若他一天七次得罪你,又七次回轉,說:『我懊悔了』,你總要饒恕他。」

信心的能力

使徒對主說:「求主加增我們的信心!」 主說:「你們若有信心像一粒芥菜種,就是對這棵桑樹說:『你要拔起根來,栽在海裡!』,它也必聽從你們。 你們誰有僕人耕地或是放羊,從田裡回來,就對他說『你快來坐下吃飯』呢? 豈不對他說『你給我預備晚飯,束上帶子伺候我,等我吃喝完了,你才可以吃喝』嗎? 僕人照所吩咐的去做,主人還謝謝他嗎? 10 這樣你們做完了一切所吩咐的,只當說:『我們是無用的僕人,所做的本是我們應分做的。』」

治好十個長大痲瘋的

11 耶穌往耶路撒冷去,經過撒馬利亞加利利 12 進入一個村子,有十個長大痲瘋的迎面而來,遠遠地站著, 13 高聲說:「耶穌,夫子,可憐我們吧!」 14 耶穌看見,就對他們說:「你們去,把身體給祭司察看!」他們去的時候就潔淨了。 15 內中有一個見自己已經好了,就回來大聲歸榮耀於神, 16 又俯伏在耶穌腳前感謝他。這人是撒馬利亞人。 17 耶穌說:「潔淨了的不是十個人嗎?那九個在哪裡呢? 18 除了這外族人,再沒有別人回來歸榮耀於神嗎?」 19 就對那人說:「起來走吧!你的信救了你了。」

神的國在人心裡

20 法利賽人問神的國幾時來到,耶穌回答說:「神的國來到不是眼所能見的。 21 人也不得說『看哪,在這裡!』、『看哪,在那裡!』,因為神的國就在你們心裡[a]。」

引證挪亞和羅得的事

22 他又對門徒說:「日子將到,你們巴不得看見人子的一個日子,卻不得看見。 23 人將要對你們說『看哪,在那裡!』、『看哪,在這裡!』,你們不要出去,也不要跟隨他們。 24 因為人子在他降臨的日子,好像閃電從天這邊一閃,直照到天那邊。 25 只是他必須先受許多苦,又被這世代棄絕。 26 挪亞的日子怎樣,人子的日子也要怎樣。 27 那時候的人又吃又喝,又娶又嫁,到挪亞進方舟的那日,洪水就來,把他們全都滅了。 28 又好像羅得的日子,人又吃又喝,又買又賣,又耕種又蓋造, 29 羅得所多瑪的那日,就有火與硫磺從天上降下來,把他們全都滅了。 30 人子顯現的日子也要這樣。 31 當那日,人在房上,器具在屋裡,不要下來拿;人在田裡,也不要回家。 32 你們要回想羅得的妻子!

捨生命得生命

33 「凡想要保全生命的,必喪掉生命;凡喪掉生命的,必救活生命。 34 我對你們說:當那一夜,兩個人在一個床上,要取去一個,撇下一個; 35 兩個女人一同推磨,要取去一個,撇下一個。[b] 37 門徒說:「主啊,在哪裡有這事呢?」耶穌說:「屍首在哪裡,鷹也必聚在哪裡。」

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)

17 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

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.

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

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.

And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

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.

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?

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?

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.
