Luke 17
New American Standard Bible 1995
Instructions
17 He said to His disciples, “(A)It is inevitable that [a]stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come! 2 (B)It [b]would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3 [c]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,’ [d]forgive him.”
5 (E)The apostles said to (F)the Lord, “Increase our faith!” 6 And (G)the Lord said, “If you [e]had faith like (H)a mustard seed, you would say to this (I)mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would [f]obey you.
7 “Which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come immediately and [g]sit down to eat’? 8 But 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 are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’”
Ten Lepers Cleansed
11 While He was (K)on the way to Jerusalem, (L)He was passing [k]between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As He entered a village, ten leprous men 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 Then Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they? 18 [l]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 [m]has made you well.”
20 Now having been questioned by the Pharisees (T)as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with [n](U)signs to be observed; 21 nor will (V)they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is [o]in your midst.”
Second Coming Foretold
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)They will say to you, ‘Look there! Look here!’ Do not go away, and do not run after them. 24 (Y)For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part [p]of the sky, shines to the other part [q]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 it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 [r]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, they were building; 29 but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and [s]brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 It will be [t]just the same on the day that the Son of Man (AD)is revealed. 31 On that day, the one who is (AE)on the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one who is in the field must not turn back. 32 (AF)Remember Lot’s wife. 33 (AG)Whoever seeks to keep his [u]life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve 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 [[v](AI)Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left.”] 37 And answering they *said to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “(AJ)Where the body is, there also the [w]vultures will be gathered.”

Temptations to Sin
17 And he said to his disciples, (A)“Temptations to sin[a] are (B)sure to come, but (C)woe to the one through whom they come! 2 (D)It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.[b] 3 Pay attention to yourselves! (E)If your brother sins, (F)rebuke him, and if he repents, (G)forgive him, 4 and if he sins against you (H)seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
Increase Our Faith
5 (I)The apostles said to the Lord, (J)“Increase our faith!” 6 And the Lord said, (K)“If you had faith like (L)a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this (M)mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
Unworthy Servants
7 “Will any one of you who has a servant[c] plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’? 8 Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and (N)dress properly,[d] and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? 10 So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are (O)unworthy servants;[e] we have only done what was our duty.’”
Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers
11 (P)On the way to Jerusalem (Q)he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,[f] (R)who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” 14 When he saw them he said to them, “Go and (S)show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. 15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, (T)praising God with a loud voice; 16 and (U)he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was (V)a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not (W)ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and (X)give praise to God except this (Y)foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; (Z)your faith has (AA)made you well.”[g]
The Coming of the Kingdom
20 Being asked by the Pharisees (AB)when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God (AC)is not coming in ways that can be observed, 21 nor (AD)will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”[h]
22 And he said to the disciples, (AE)“The days are coming when you will desire (AF)to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 (AG)And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them. 24 (AH)For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be (AI)in his day.[i] 25 But first (AJ)he must suffer many things and (AK)be rejected by this generation. 26 (AL)Just as it was in the days of (AM)Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 (AN)They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of (AO)Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 (AP)but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— 30 so will it be (AQ)on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, (AR)let the one who is on (AS)the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. 32 (AT)Remember Lot's wife. 33 (AU)Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will (AV)keep it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. 35 (AW)There will be two women (AX)grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”[j] 37 And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, (AY)“Where the corpse[k] is, there the vultures[l] will gather.”

Biblia del Jubileo
17 ¶ Y a sus discípulos dice: Imposible es que no vengan escándalos; mas ¡ay de aquel por quien vienen!
2 Mejor le fuera, si una muela de un molino de asno le fuera puesta al cuello, y le lanzaran en el mar, que escandalizar a uno de estos pequeñitos.
3 Mirad por vosotros; si pecare contra ti tu hermano, repréndele; y si se arrepintiere, perdónale.
4 Y si siete veces al día pecare contra ti, y siete veces al día se volviere a ti, diciendo, me arrepiento; tú le perdonarás.
5 Y dijeron los apóstoles al Señor: Auméntanos la fe.
6 Entonces el Señor dijo: Si tuvierais fe como un grano de mostaza, diréis a este sicómoro: Desarráigate, y plántate en el mar; y os obedecerá.
7 ¿Y quién de vosotros tiene un esclavo que ara o apacienta, que vuelto del campo le diga luego: Pasa, siéntate a la mesa?
8 ¿No le dice antes: Adereza qué cene, y arremángate, y sírveme hasta que haya comido y bebido; y después de esto, come tú y bebe?
9 ¿Da gracias al esclavo porque hizo lo que le había sido mandado? Pienso que no.
10 Así también vosotros, cuando hubiereis hecho todo lo que os es mandado, decid: Esclavos inútiles somos, porque lo que debíamos hacer, hicimos.
11 ¶ Y aconteció que yendo él a Jerusalén, pasaba por medio de Samaria y de Galilea.
12 Y entrando en una aldea, le salieron al encuentro diez hombres leprosos, los cuales se pararon de lejos,
13 y alzaron la voz, diciendo: Jesús, Maestro, ten misericordia de nosotros.
14 Cuando él los vio, les dijo: Id, mostraos a los sacerdotes. Y aconteció, que yendo ellos, fueron limpios.
15 Entonces uno de ellos, como se vio que estaba limpio, volvió, glorificando a Dios a gran voz;
16 y se derribó sobre el rostro a sus pies, dándole gracias; y éste era samaritano.
17 Y respondiendo Jesús, dijo: ¿No son diez los que fueron limpios? ¿Y los nueve dónde están?
18 ¿No hubo quien volviera y diera gloria a Dios sino este extranjero?
19 Y le dijo: Levántate, vete; tu fe te ha salvado.
20 ¶ Y preguntado por los fariseos, cuándo había de venir el Reino de Dios, les respondió y dijo: El Reino de Dios no vendrá con observación;
21 ni dirán: Helo aquí, o helo allí; porque he aquí el Reino de Dios entre vosotros está.
22 Y dijo a sus discípulos: Días vendrán, cuando desearéis ver uno de los días del Hijo del hombre, y no lo veréis.
23 Y os dirán: Helo aquí, o helo allí. No vayáis, ni los sigáis.
24 Porque como el relámpago, que resplandece de la región de debajo del cielo, resplandece en lo que está debajo del cielo, así también será el Hijo del hombre en su día.
25 Mas primero es necesario que padezca mucho, y sea reprobado de esta generación.
26 Y como fue en los días de Noé, así también será en los días del Hijo del hombre.
27 Comían, bebían, maridos tomaban mujeres, y mujeres maridos, hasta el día que entró Noé en el arca; y vino el diluvio, y destruyó a todos.
28 Asimismo también como fue en los días de Lot; comían, bebían, compraban, vendían, plantaban, edificaban;
29 mas el día que Lot salió de Sodoma, llovió del cielo fuego y azufre, y destruyó a todos.
30 Como esto será el día que el Hijo del hombre se manifestará.
31 En aquel día, el que estuviere en el terrado, y sus alhajas en casa, no descienda a tomarlas; y el que en el campo, asimismo no vuelva atrás.
32 Acordaos de la mujer de Lot.
33 Cualquiera que procurare salvar su alma, la perderá; y cualquiera que la perdiere, la vivificará.
34 Os digo que aquella noche estarán dos en una cama; el uno será tomado, y el otro será dejado.
35 Dos mujeres estarán moliendo juntas; la una será tomada, y la otra será dejada.
36 Dos estarán en el campo; el uno será tomado, y el otro será dejado.
37 Y respondiendo, le dicen: ¿Dónde, Señor? Y él les dijo: Donde estuviere el cuerpo, allá se juntarán también las águilas.
