Luke 17
17
1Jesus said to his disciples, “Temptations are unavoidable, but it will be a disaster for those through whom they come! 2For such people it would be better to have a millstone hung around the neck and be thrown into the sea than to cause these little ones to sin. 3So take care what you do. If your brother sins, warn him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4Even if he sins against you seven times a day, and seven times comes back and tells you, ‘I'm really sorry,’ forgive him.”
5The apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to have more trust!” 6The Lord replied, “Even if your trust was as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Uproot yourself, and plant yourself in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7Say you have a servant who does plowing or shepherding. When he comes in from work, do you say to him, ‘Come in and sit down now for a meal’? 8No. You say to him, ‘Prepare a meal for me, get yourself dressed, and serve me until I've finished my meal. After that you can have your meal.’ 9And do you thank the servant for doing what you told him? No. 10Likewise once you've done everything you were told, you should simply say, ‘We are undeserving servants. We just did our duty.’”
11As Jesus continued on his way to Jerusalem, he passed along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12As he entered a particular village, ten lepers met him, standing at a distance. 13They called out, “Jesus, Master, please have mercy on us.”
14When Jesus saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.”#17:14. See Leviticus 14. On their way there, they were healed. 15One of them when he saw that he was healed, returned to Jesus, shouting praises to God. 16He fell down at Jesus' feet, thanking him. He was a Samaritan.
17“Weren't ten lepers healed?” Jesus asked. “Where are the other nine? 18Didn't anyone else come back to praise God—only this foreigner?”
19Jesus told the man, “Get up and go on your way. Your trust has healed you.”
20Once, when the Pharisees came and asked him when God's kingdom would come, Jesus replied, “God's kingdom doesn't come with visible signs that you can observe. 21People won't be saying, ‘Look, it's here’ or ‘Look, it's there,’ for God's kingdom is among you.”#17:21. Or “within you.”
22Then Jesus told the disciples, “The time is coming when you'll long to see the day#17:22. Literally, “one of the days.” when the Son of man comes, but you won't see it. 23They'll be telling you, ‘Look, there he is,’ or ‘Look, here he is,’ but don't go running off after them. 24The day when the Son of man comes will be just like lightning that flashes, lighting up the sky from one side to the other. 25But first he will have to suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
26The time when the Son of man comes will be like it was in Noah's day. 27People went on eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day Noah went into the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. 28It will be like it was in Lot's day. People went on eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30The day when the Son of man appears will be just like that. 31If you're up on the roof that day don't go down and get your things; and if you're out in the fields don't go back home either. 32Remember Lot's wife! 33If you try to hold on to your life you'll lose it; but if you lose your life you'll save it. 34I tell you, at that time two will be in bed at night; one will be taken and the other left. 35Two women will be grinding grain, one will be taken; and the other left.” 36#17:36. Verse 36 is not found in the early manuscripts.
37“Where, Lord?” they asked. “Where the carcass is, that's where the vultures gather,” Jesus replied.
