 |
| |
| | Luk 17:1 | Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come.
| |
| | Luk 17:2 | It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
| |
| | Luk 17:3 | So watch yourselves. "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
| |
| | Luk 17:4 | If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, `I repent,' forgive him."
| |
| | Luk 17:5 | The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
| |
| | Luk 17:6 | He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, `Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.
| |
| | Luk 17:7 | "Suppose one of you had a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Would he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, `Come along now and sit down to eat'?
| |
| | Luk 17:8 | Would he not rather say, `Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink'?
| |
| | Luk 17:9 | Would he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do?
| |
| | Luk 17:10 | 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.'"
| |
| | Luk 17:11 | Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.
| |
| | Luk 17:12 | As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance
| |
| | Luk 17:13 | and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
| |
| | Luk 17:14 | When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.
| |
| | Luk 17:15 | One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
| |
| | Luk 17:16 | He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him--and he was a Samaritan.
| |
| | Luk 17:17 | Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?
| |
| | Luk 17:18 | Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"
| |
| | Luk 17:19 | Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."
| |
| | Luk 17:20 | Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation,
| |
| | Luk 17:21 | nor will people say, `Here it is,' or `There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you."
| |
| | Luk 17:22 | 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, but you will not see it.
| |
| | Luk 17:23 | Men will tell you, `There he is!' or `Here he is!' Do not go running off after them.
| |
| | Luk 17:24 | For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other.
| |
| | Luk 17:25 | But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
| |
| | Luk 17:26 | "Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
| |
| | Luk 17:27 | 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.
| |
| | Luk 17:28 | "It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
| |
| | Luk 17:29 | But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
| |
| | Luk 17:30 | "It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
| |
| | Luk 17:31 | On that day no one who is on the roof of his house, with his goods inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.
| |
| | Luk 17:32 | Remember Lot's wife!
| |
| | Luk 17:33 | Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.
| |
| | Luk 17:34 | I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.
| |
| | Luk 17:35 | Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left. "
| |
| | Luk 17:36 |
| |
| | Luk 17:37 | "Where, Lord?" they asked. He replied, "Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather."
