Conferenza Episcopale Italiana

Lo scandalo

17 Disse ancora ai suoi discepoli: «E' inevitabile che avvengano scandali, ma guai a colui per cui avvengono. 2 E' meglio per lui che gli sia messa al collo una pietra da mulino e venga gettato nel mare, piuttosto che scandalizzare uno di questi piccoli. 3 State attenti a voi stessi!

Correzione fraterna

Se un tuo fratello pecca, rimproveralo; ma se si pente, perdonagli. 4 E se pecca sette volte al giorno contro di te e sette volte ti dice: Mi pento, tu gli perdonerai».

Potenza della fede

5 Gli apostoli dissero al Signore: 6 «Aumenta la nostra fede!». Il Signore rispose: «Se aveste fede quanto un granellino di senapa, potreste dire a questo gelso: Sii sradicato e trapiantato nel mare, ed esso vi ascolterebbe.

Servire con umiltà

7 Chi di voi, se ha un servo ad arare o a pascolare il gregge, gli dirà quando rientra dal campo: Vieni subito e mettiti a tavola? 8 Non gli dirà piuttosto: Preparami da mangiare, rimboccati la veste e servimi, finché io abbia mangiato e bevuto, e dopo mangerai e berrai anche tu? 9 Si riterrà obbligato verso il suo servo, perché ha eseguito gli ordini ricevuti? 10 Così anche voi, quando avrete fatto tutto quello che vi è stato ordinato, dite: Siamo servi inutili. Abbiamo fatto quanto dovevamo fare».

I dieci lebbrosi

11 Durante il viaggio verso Gerusalemme, Gesù attraversò la Samaria e la Galilea. 12 Entrando in un villaggio, gli vennero incontro dieci lebbrosi i quali, fermatisi a distanza, 13 alzarono la voce, dicendo: «Gesù maestro, abbi pietà di noi!». 14 Appena li vide, Gesù disse: «Andate a presentarvi ai sacerdoti». E mentre essi andavano, furono sanati. 15 Uno di loro, vedendosi guarito, tornò indietro lodando Dio a gran voce; 16 e si gettò ai piedi di Gesù per ringraziarlo. Era un Samaritano. 17 Ma Gesù osservò: «Non sono stati guariti tutti e dieci? E gli altri nove dove sono? 18 Non si è trovato chi tornasse a render gloria a Dio, all'infuori di questo straniero?». E gli disse: 19 «Alzati e và; la tua fede ti ha salvato!».

La venuta del regno di Dio

20 Interrogato dai farisei: «Quando verrà il regno di Dio?», rispose: 21 «Il regno di Dio non viene in modo da attirare l'attenzione, e nessuno dirà: Eccolo qui, o: eccolo là. Perché il regno di Dio è in mezzo a voi!».

Il giorno del Figlio dell'uomo

22 Disse ancora ai discepoli: «Verrà un tempo in cui desidererete vedere anche uno solo dei giorni del Figlio dell'uomo, ma non lo vedrete. 23 Vi diranno: Eccolo là, o: eccolo qua; non andateci, non seguiteli. 24 Perché come il lampo, guizzando, brilla da un capo all'altro del cielo, così sarà il Figlio dell'uomo nel suo giorno. 25 Ma prima è necessario che egli soffra molto e venga ripudiato da questa generazione. 26 Come avvenne al tempo di Noè, così sarà nei giorni del Figlio dell'uomo: 27 mangiavano, bevevano, si ammogliavano e si maritavano, fino al giorno in cui Noè entrò nell'arca e venne il diluvio e li fece perire tutti. 28 Come avvenne anche al tempo di Lot: mangiavano, bevevano, compravano, vendevano, piantavano, costruivano; 29 ma nel giorno in cui Lot uscì da Sòdoma piovve fuoco e zolfo dal cielo e li fece perire tutti. 30 Così sarà nel giorno in cui il Figlio dell'uomo si rivelerà. 31 In quel giorno, chi si troverà sulla terrazza, se le sue cose sono in casa, non scenda a prenderle; così chi si troverà nel campo, non torni indietro. 32 Ricordatevi della moglie di Lot. 33 Chi cercherà di salvare la propria vita la perderà, chi invece la perde la salverà. 34 Vi dico: in quella notte due si troveranno in un letto: l'uno verrà preso e l'altro lasciato; 35 due donne staranno a macinare nello stesso luogo: l'una verrà presa e l'altra lasciata». 36 . 37 Allora i discepoli gli chiesero: «Dove, Signore?». Ed egli disse loro: «Dove sarà il cadavere, là si raduneranno anche gli avvoltoi».

Luke 17
New King James Version

Jesus Warns of Offenses(A)

17 Then He said to the disciples, (B)“It is impossible that no [a]offenses should come, but (C)woe to him through whom they do come! 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should [b]offend one of these little ones. 3 Take heed to yourselves. (D)If your brother sins [c]against you, (E)rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns [d]to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”

Faith and Duty(F)

5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

6 (G)So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. 7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8 But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself (H)and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded [e]him? I think not. 10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are (I)unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ ”

Ten Lepers Cleansed

11 Now it happened (J)as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, (K)who stood afar off. 13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14 So when He saw them, He said to them, (L)“Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice (M)glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a (N)Samaritan.

17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 (O)And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

The Coming of the Kingdom(P)

20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 (Q)nor will they say, [f]‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, (R)the kingdom of God is [g]within you.”

22 Then He said to the disciples, (S)“The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 (T)And they will say to you, [h]‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them. 24 (U)For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. 25 (V)But first He must suffer many things and be (W)rejected by this generation. 26 (X)And as it (Y)was in the (Z)days of (AA)Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the (AB)day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and (AC)destroyed them all. 28 (AD)Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on (AE)the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man (AF)is revealed.

31 “In that day, he (AG)who is on the housetop, and his [i]goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. 32 (AH)Remember Lot’s wife. 33 (AI)Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34 (AJ)I tell you, in that night there will be two [j]men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 (AK)Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36 [k]Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”

37 And they answered and said to Him, (AL)“Where, Lord?”

So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”

Warnings from Jesus

17 He(A) said to his disciples, “Offenses will certainly come,[a] but woe(B) to the one through whom they come!(C) 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble.(D) 3 Be(E) on your guard. If your brother sins,[b] rebuke(F) him, and if he repents, forgive(G) him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and comes back to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

Faith and Duty

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

6 “If you have faith the size of[c] a mustard seed,”(K) the Lord said, “you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

7 “Which one of you having a servant tending sheep or plowing will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8 Instead, will he not tell him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, get ready, and serve me while I eat and drink; later you can eat and drink’?(L) 9 Does he thank that servant because he did what was commanded?[d] 10 In the same way, when you have done all that you were commanded, you should say, ‘We are unworthy (M) servants; we’ve only done our duty.’”

Ten Men Healed

11 While traveling to Jerusalem,(N) he passed between[e] Samaria and Galilee.(O) 12 As he entered a village, ten men with leprosy[f](P) met him. They stood at a distance 13 and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master,(Q) have mercy on us!”

14 When he saw them, he told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.”(R) And while they were going, they were cleansed.

15 But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God.(S) 16 He fell facedown(T) at his feet, thanking him. And he was a Samaritan.(U)

17 Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Didn’t any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.”[g](V)

The Coming of the Kingdom

20 When he was(W) asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come,(X) he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming with something observable; 21 no one will say,[h] ‘See here!’ or ‘There!’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”[i]

22 Then he told the disciples, “The days are coming(Y) when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you won’t see it.(Z) 23 They will say to you,(AA) ‘See there!’ or ‘See here!’ Don’t follow or run after them.(AB) 24 For as the lightning flashes from horizon to horizon and lights up the sky, so the Son of Man will be in his day.(AC) 25 But first it is necessary that he suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.(AD)

26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah,(AE) so it will be in the days of the Son of Man: 27 People went on eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage(AF) until the day Noah boarded the ark,(AG) and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot:(AH) People went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building. 29 But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed(AI) them all. 30 It(AJ) will be like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.(AK) 31 On that day, a man on the housetop, whose belongings are in the house, must not come down to get them. Likewise the man who is in the field must not turn back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife!(AL) 33 Whoever tries to make his life secure[j][k] will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.(AM) 34 I tell you, on that night(AN) two will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.”[l]

37 “Where, Lord?” (AO) they asked him.

He said to them, “Where the corpse is, there also the vultures(AP) will be gathered.”

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)
