Luke 17:11-37

11WhileG2532G1096 Jesus was on His wayG1722G3588G4198 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, HeG846 was passingG1330 betweenG1223G3319 SamariaG4540 andG2532 GalileeG1056. 12AsG2532 HeG846 enteredG1525G1519 one ofG5100 the villagesG2968, HeG846 was metG528 by tenG1176 lepersG3015G435.1 They stoodG2476 at a distanceG4207 13andG2532 raisedG142 their voicesG5456, shoutingG3004, “JesusG2424, MasterG1988, have mercy onG1653 usG1473!”

14When Jesus sawG2532G3708 them, He saidG2036G846, “GoG4198, showG1925 yourselvesG1438 to theG3588 priestsG2409.”2 AndG2532 asG1096G1722 theyG846 were on their wayG5217, they were cleansedG2511.

15WhenG1161 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846 sawG3708 thatG3754 he was healedG2390, he came backG5290, praisingG1392 GodG2316 inG3326 a loudG3173 voiceG5456. 16He fellG4098 facedownG1909G4383 atG3844 Jesus’ feetG4228 in thanksgivingG2168 to HimG846—andG2532 heG846 wasG1510 a SamaritanG4541.

17“Were notG3780 all tenG1176 cleansedG2511?” JesusG2424 askedG611. “Where then areG4226G1161 theG3588 other nineG1767? 18Was no one foundG2147G3756 exceptG1487G3361 thisG3778 foreignerG241 to returnG5290 and giveG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316?”

19ThenG2532 Jesus saidG2036 to himG846, “RiseG450 and goG4198; yourG4771 faithG4102 has made you wellG4982G4771!3”

When askedG1905 byG5259 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 whenG4219 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 would comeG2064, Jesus repliedG611G846G2532G2036, “TheG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 will notG3756 comeG2064 withG3326 observable signsG3907. 21NorG3761 will people sayG2046, ‘LookG2400, hereG5602 it is,’ orG2228 ‘ThereG1563 it is.’ ForG1063 you seeG2400, theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG1510 in yourG4771 midstG1787.4”

22ThenG1161 He saidG2036 toG4314 theG3588 disciplesG3101, “The timeG2250 is comingG2064 whenG3753 you will longG1937 to seeG3708 oneG1520 of theG3588 daysG2250 of theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444, butG2532 you will not seeG3756G3708 it. 23People will tellG2046 youG4771, ‘LookG2400, thereG1563 He is!’ orG2228 ‘LookG2400, hereG5602 He is!’ Do notG3361 go outG565 or chase afterG1377 them. 24ForG1063 just asG5618 theG3588 lightningG796 flashesG797 and lights upG2989 theG3588 skyG3772 fromG1537 one end toG1519 theG3588 other, soG3779 will beG1510 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 inG1722 HisG846 dayG2250. 25ButG1161 firstG4412 HeG846 mustG1163 sufferG3958 many thingsG4183 andG2532 be rejectedG593 byG575 thisG3778 generationG1074.

26JustG2532 asG2531 it wasG1096 inG1722 theG3588 daysG2250 of NoahG3575, soG3779 alsoG2532 will it beG1510 inG1722 theG3588 daysG2250 of theG3588 SonG5207 ofG3588 ManG444: 27People were eatingG2068 and drinkingG4095, marryingG1060 and being given in marriageG1061, up toG891 the dayG2250 NoahG3575 enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 arkG2787. ThenG2532 theG3588 floodG2627 cameG2064 andG2532 destroyedG622 them allG3956.

28It wasG1096 the sameG3668G2531 inG1722 theG3588 daysG2250 of LotG3091: People were eatingG2068 and drinkingG4095, buyingG59 and sellingG4453, plantingG5452 and buildingG3618. 29ButG1161 on theG3739 dayG2250 LotG3091 leftG1831G575 SodomG4670, fireG4442 andG2532 sulfurG2303 rained downG1026 fromG575 heavenG3772 andG2532 destroyedG622 them allG3956.

30It will beG1510 just like thatG2596G3588G846 on theG3739 dayG2250 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 is revealedG601. 31OnG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250, let no oneG3361G3739 onG1909 theG3588 housetopG1430 come downG2597 to retrieveG142G846 hisG846 possessionsG4632G1722G3588G3614. LikewiseG3668, let no oneG3361G3588 inG1722 the fieldG68 returnG1994 forG1519 anythingG3588 he has left behindG3694. 32RememberG3421 Lot’sG3091 wifeG1135! 33WhoeverG3739G1437 triesG2212 to saveG4046 hisG846 lifeG5590 will loseG622 itG846, butG1161 whoeverG3739G302 losesG622 his life will preserveG2225 itG846. 34I tellG3004 youG4771, on thatG3778 nightG3571 twoG1417 people will beG1510 inG1909 oneG1520 bedG2825: oneG1520 will be takenG3880 andG2532 theG3588 otherG2087 leftG863. 35TwoG1417 women will beG1510 grinding grainG229 togetherG1909G3588G846: oneG1520 will be takenG3880 andG1161 theG3588 otherG2087 leftG863.”5

37“WhereG4226, LordG2962?” they askedG611G3004G846.

Jesus answeredG2036G846, “WhereverG3699 there is aG3588 carcassG4983, thereG1563 theG3588 vulturesG105 will gatherG1996.”
