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)

Instructions
17 Now He said to His disciples, “(A)It is inevitable that [a]stumbling blocks come, but woe to one through whom they come! 2 (B)It is better for him if a millstone is hung around his neck and he [b]is thrown into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to [c]sin. 3 [d]Be on your guard! (C)If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you (D)seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
5 (E)The apostles said to (F)the Lord, “Increase our faith!” 6 But (G)the Lord said, “If you [e]had faith [f]the size of (H)a mustard seed, you could say to this (I)mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would [g]obey you.
7 “Now which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him after he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and recline at the table to eat’? 8 On the contrary, will he not say to him, ‘(J)Prepare something for me to eat, and properly [h]clothe yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; and [i]afterward you [j]may eat and drink’? 9 He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he? 10 So you too, when you do all the things which were commanded you, say, ‘We are [k]unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’”
Ten Men with Leprosy Healed
11 While He was (K)on the way to Jerusalem, (L)He was passing [l]between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as He entered a village, ten men with leprosy who (M)stood at a distance met Him; 13 and they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, (N)Master, have mercy on us!” 14 When He saw them, He said to them, “(O)Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were going, they were cleansed. 15 Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, (P)glorifying God with a loud voice, 16 and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a (Q)Samaritan. 17 But Jesus responded and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they? 18 [m]Was no one found who returned to (R)give glory to God, except this foreigner?” 19 And He said to him, “Stand up and go; (S)your faith has [n]made you well.”
Second Coming Foretold
20 Now He was questioned by the Pharisees (T)as to when the kingdom of God was coming, and He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with [o](U)signs that can be observed; 21 nor will (V)they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is [p]in your midst.”
22 And He said to the disciples, “(W)The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 (X)And they will say to you, ‘Look there,’ or, ‘Look here!’ Do not leave, and do not run after them. 24 (Y)For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part [q]of the sky, shines to the other part [r]of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day. 25 (Z)But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 (AA)And just as it happened (AB)in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of Man: 27 people were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, and they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 [s]It was the same as happened in (AC)the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, and they were building; 29 but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and [t]brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 It will be [u]just the same on the day that the Son of Man (AD)is revealed. 31 On that day, the one who will be (AE)on the [v]housetop, [w]with his goods in the house, must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one in the field must not turn back. 32 (AF)Remember Lot’s wife. 33 (AG)Whoever strives to [x]save his [y]life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will keep it. 34 I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 (AH)There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left. 36 [[z](AI)Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left.”] 37 And responding, they *said to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “(AJ)Where the body is, there also the [aa]vultures will be gathered.”

路加福音 17
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
绊倒人的有祸
17 耶稣又对门徒说:“绊倒人的事是免不了的,但那绊倒人的有祸了! 2 就是把磨石拴在这人的颈项上,丢在海里,还强如他把这小子里的一个绊倒了。 3 你们要谨慎!若是你的弟兄得罪你,就劝诫他。他若懊悔,就饶恕他。 4 倘若他一天七次得罪你,又七次回转,说:‘我懊悔了’,你总要饶恕他。”
信心的能力
5 使徒对主说:“求主加增我们的信心!” 6 主说:“你们若有信心像一粒芥菜种,就是对这棵桑树说:‘你要拔起根来,栽在海里!’,它也必听从你们。 7 你们谁有仆人耕地或是放羊,从田里回来,就对他说‘你快来坐下吃饭’呢? 8 岂不对他说‘你给我预备晚饭,束上带子伺候我,等我吃喝完了,你才可以吃喝’吗? 9 仆人照所吩咐的去做,主人还谢谢他吗? 10 这样,你们做完了一切所吩咐的,只当说:‘我们是无用的仆人,所做的本是我们应分做的。’”
治好十个长大麻风的
11 耶稣往耶路撒冷去,经过撒马利亚和加利利。 12 进入一个村子,有十个长大麻风的迎面而来,远远地站着, 13 高声说:“耶稣,夫子,可怜我们吧!” 14 耶稣看见,就对他们说:“你们去,把身体给祭司察看!”他们去的时候就洁净了。 15 内中有一个见自己已经好了,就回来大声归荣耀于神, 16 又俯伏在耶稣脚前感谢他。这人是撒马利亚人。 17 耶稣说:“洁净了的不是十个人吗?那九个在哪里呢? 18 除了这外族人,再没有别人回来归荣耀于神吗?” 19 就对那人说:“起来走吧!你的信救了你了。”
神的国在人心里
20 法利赛人问神的国几时来到,耶稣回答说:“神的国来到不是眼所能见的。 21 人也不得说‘看哪,在这里!’、‘看哪,在那里!’,因为神的国就在你们心里[a]。”
引证挪亚和罗得的事
22 他又对门徒说:“日子将到,你们巴不得看见人子的一个日子,却不得看见。 23 人将要对你们说‘看哪,在那里!’、‘看哪,在这里!’,你们不要出去,也不要跟随他们。 24 因为人子在他降临的日子,好像闪电从天这边一闪,直照到天那边。 25 只是他必须先受许多苦,又被这世代弃绝。 26 挪亚的日子怎样,人子的日子也要怎样。 27 那时候的人又吃又喝,又娶又嫁,到挪亚进方舟的那日,洪水就来,把他们全都灭了。 28 又好像罗得的日子,人又吃又喝,又买又卖,又耕种又盖造, 29 到罗得出所多玛的那日,就有火与硫磺从天上降下来,把他们全都灭了。 30 人子显现的日子也要这样。 31 当那日,人在房上,器具在屋里,不要下来拿;人在田里,也不要回家。 32 你们要回想罗得的妻子!
舍生命得生命
33 “凡想要保全生命的,必丧掉生命;凡丧掉生命的,必救活生命。 34 我对你们说:当那一夜,两个人在一个床上,要取去一个,撇下一个; 35 两个女人一同推磨,要取去一个,撇下一个。[b]” 37 门徒说:“主啊,在哪里有这事呢?”耶稣说:“尸首在哪里,鹰也必聚在哪里。”
