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)

El peligro de caer en pecado(A)
17 Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: «No se puede evitar que haya incitaciones al pecado; pero ¡ay del hombre que haga pecar a los demás! 2 Mejor le sería que lo echaran al mar con una piedra de molino atada al cuello, que hacer caer en pecado a uno de estos pequeñitos. 3 ¡Tengan cuidado!
»Si tu hermano peca, repréndelo; pero si cambia de actitud, perdónalo. 4 Aunque peque contra ti siete veces en un día, si siete veces viene a decirte: “No lo volveré a hacer”, debes perdonarlo.»
El poder de la fe
5 Los apóstoles pidieron al Señor:
—Danos más fe.
6 El Señor les contestó:
—Si ustedes tuvieran fe, aunque sólo fuera del tamaño de una semilla de mostaza, podrían decirle a este árbol: “Arráncate de aquí y plántate en el mar”, y les haría caso.
El deber del que sirve
7 »Si uno de ustedes tiene un criado que regresa del campo después de haber estado arando o cuidando el ganado, ¿acaso le dice: “Pasa y siéntate a comer”? 8 No, sino que le dice: “Prepárame la cena, y dispónte a atenderme mientras yo como y bebo. Después podrás tú comer y beber.” 9 Y tampoco le da las gracias al criado por haber hecho lo que le mandó. 10 Así también ustedes, cuando ya hayan cumplido todo lo que Dios les manda, deberán decir: “Somos servidores inútiles, porque no hemos hecho más que cumplir con nuestra obligación.”
Jesús sana a diez leprosos
11 En su camino a Jerusalén, pasó Jesús entre las regiones de Samaria y Galilea. 12 Y llegó a una aldea, donde le salieron al encuentro diez hombres enfermos de lepra, los cuales se quedaron lejos de él 13 gritando:
—¡Jesús, Maestro, ten compasión de nosotros!
14 Cuando Jesús los vio, les dijo:
—Vayan a presentarse a los sacerdotes.
Y mientras iban, quedaron limpios de su enfermedad. 15 Uno de ellos, al verse limpio, regresó alabando a Dios a grandes voces, 16 y se arrodilló delante de Jesús, inclinándose hasta el suelo para darle las gracias. Este hombre era de Samaria. 17 Jesús dijo:
—¿Acaso no eran diez los que quedaron limpios de su enfermedad? ¿Dónde están los otros nueve? 18 ¿Únicamente este extranjero ha vuelto para alabar a Dios?
19 Y le dijo al hombre:
—Levántate y vete; por tu fe has sido sanado.
Cómo llegará el reino de Dios(B)
20 Los fariseos le preguntaron a Jesús cuándo había de llegar el reino de Dios, y él les contestó:
—La venida del reino de Dios no es algo que todo el mundo pueda ver. 21 No se va a decir: “Aquí está”, o “Allí está”; porque el reino de Dios ya está entre ustedes.
22 Y dijo a sus discípulos:
—Llegará el tiempo en que ustedes querrán ver siquiera uno de los días del Hijo del hombre, y no lo verán. 23 Algunos dirán: “Aquí está”, o “Allí está”; pero no vayan ni los sigan. 24 Porque así como el relámpago, al brillar, ilumina el cielo de uno a otro lado, así será el Hijo del hombre en el día de su regreso. 25 Pero primero tiene que sufrir mucho y ser rechazado por la gente de este tiempo. 26 Como pasó en los tiempos de Noé, así pasará también en los días en que regrese el Hijo del hombre. 27 La gente comía y bebía y se casaba, hasta el día en que Noé entró en la barca, y llegó el diluvio y todos murieron. 28 Lo mismo sucedió en los tiempos de Lot: la gente comía y bebía, compraba y vendía, sembraba y construía casas; 29 pero cuando Lot salió de la ciudad de Sodoma, llovió del cielo fuego y azufre, y todos murieron. 30 Así será el día en que el Hijo del hombre aparezca.
31 »En aquel día, el que se encuentre en la azotea y tenga sus cosas dentro de la casa, que no baje a sacarlas; y el que esté en el campo, que no regrese a su casa. 32 Acuérdense de la mujer de Lot. 33 El que trate de conservar su vida, la perderá; pero el que la pierda, la conservará.
34 »Les digo que en aquella noche, de dos que estén en una misma cama, uno será llevado y el otro será dejado. 35 De dos mujeres que estén moliendo juntas, una será llevada y la otra será dejada.
37 Le preguntaron entonces:
—¿Dónde ocurrirá eso, Señor?
Y él les contestó:
—Donde esté el cadáver, allí se juntarán los buitres.

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.”
