Luke 17

Instructions

1He saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “1It is inevitableG418G3361 that 2stumblingG4625 blocksG4625 comeG2064, but woeG3759 to him throughG1223 whomG3739 they comeG2064! 23It 4would be betterG3081 for him ifG1487 a millstoneG3037G3457 were hungG4029 aroundG4012 his neckG5137 and he were thrownG4496 into the seaG2281, thanG2228 that he would causeG4624 oneG1520 of theseG3778 littleG3398 onesG3398 to stumbleG4624. 35Be on your guardG4337! 6IfG1437 your brotherG80 sinsG264, rebukeG2008 him; and ifG1437 he repentsG3340, forgiveG863 him. 4And ifG1437 he sinsG264 againstG1519 you 7sevenG2034 timesG2034 a dayG2250, and returnsG1994 to you sevenG2034 timesG2034, sayingG3004, ‘I repentG3340,’ 8forgiveG863 him.”

59The apostlesG652 saidG3004 to 10the LordG2962, “IncreaseG4369 our faithG4102!” 6And 11the LordG2962 saidG3004, “IfG1487 you 12hadG2192 faithG4102 likeG5613 13a mustardG4615 seedG2848, you would sayG3004 to thisG3778 14mulberryG4807 treeG4807, ‘Be uprootedG1610 and be plantedG5452 in the seaG2281’; and it would 15obeyG5219 you.

7“WhichG5101 of you, havingG2192 a slaveG1401 plowingG722 orG2228 tendingG4165 sheepG4165, will sayG3004 to him when he has comeG1525 in from the fieldG68, ‘ComeG3928 immediatelyG2112 and 16sitG377 downG377 to eat’? 8But will he not sayG3004 to him, ‘17PrepareG2090 somethingG5101 for me to eatG1172, and properly 18clotheG4024 yourself and serveG1247 me whileG2193 I eatG1172 and drinkG4095; and 19afterwardG3326G3778 you 20may eatG2068 and drinkG4095’? 9He does not thankG5485 the slaveG1401 becauseG3754 he didG4160 the things which were commandedG1299, does he? 10SoG3779 you tooG2532, whenG3752 you doG4160 allG3956 the thingsG3956 which are commandedG1299 you, sayG3004, ‘We are unworthyG888 slavesG1401; we have doneG4160 only that whichG3739 we oughtG3784 to have doneG4160.’”

Ten Lepers Cleansed

11WhileG1722 He was 21on the wayG4198 to JerusalemG2419, 22He was passingG1330 23betweenG1223G3319 SamariaG4540 and GalileeG1056. 12As He enteredG1525 a villageG2968, tenG1176 leprousG3015 menG435 whoG3739 24stoodG2476 at a distanceG4207 metG528 Him; 13and they raisedG142 their voicesG5456, sayingG3004, “JesusG2424, 25MasterG1988, haveG1653 mercyG1653 on us!” 14When He sawG3708 them, He saidG3004 to them, “26GoG4198 and showG1925 yourselvesG1438 to the priestsG2409.” And as they were goingG5217, they were cleansedG2511. 15NowG1161 oneG1520 of them, when he sawG3708 that he had been healedG2390, turnedG5290 backG5290, 27glorifyingG1392 GodG2316 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, 16and he fellG4098 on his faceG4383 at His feetG4228, givingG2168 thanksG2168 to Him. And he was a 28SamaritanG4541. 17ThenG2532 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “Were there not tenG1176 cleansedG2511? But the nineG1767--whereG4226 are they? 1829Was noG3756 one foundG2147 who returnedG5290 to 30giveG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316, exceptG1508 thisG3778 foreignerG241?” 19And He saidG3004 to him, “StandG450 up and goG4198; 31your faithG4102 32has madeG4982 you wellG4982.”

20NowG1161 having been questionedG1905 by the PhariseesG5330 33as to whenG4219 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 was comingG2064, He answeredG611 them and saidG3004, “The kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is not comingG2064 with 3435signsG3907 to be observedG3907; 21norG3761 will 36they sayG3004, ‘LookG2400, hereG5602 it is!’ orG2228, ‘ThereG1563 it is!’ For beholdG2400, the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is 37in your midstG1787.”

Second Coming Foretold

22And He saidG3004 to the disciplesG3101, “38The daysG2250 will comeG2064 whenG3753 you will longG1937 to seeG3708 oneG1520 of the daysG2250 of the SonG5207 of ManG444, and you will not seeG3708 it. 2339They will sayG3004 to you, ‘LookG2400 thereG1563! LookG2400 hereG5602!’ Do not goG565 awayG565, and do not runG1377 afterG1377 them. 2440For justG5618 likeG5618 the lightningG796, when it flashesG797 out of one part 41of the skyG3772, shinesG2989 to the other part 42of the skyG3772, soG3779 will the SonG5207 of ManG444 be in His dayG2250. 2543But firstG4413 He mustG1163 sufferG3958 manyG4183 thingsG4183 and be rejectedG593 by thisG3778 generationG1074. 2644And justG2531 as it happenedG1096 45in the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, soG3779 it will be alsoG2532 in the daysG2250 of the SonG5207 of ManG444: 27they were eatingG2068, they were drinkingG4095, they were marryingG1060, they were being givenG1061 in marriageG1061, untilG891 the dayG2250 that NoahG3575 enteredG1525 the arkG2787, and the floodG2627 cameG2064 and destroyedG622 them allG3956. 2846It was the sameG3668 as happenedG1096 in 47the daysG2250 of LotG3091: they were eatingG2068, they were drinkingG4095, they were buyingG59, they were sellingG4453, they were plantingG5452, they were buildingG3618; 29but on the dayG2250 that LotG3091 wentG1831 out from SodomG4670 it rainedG1026 fireG4442 and 48brimstoneG2303 from heavenG3772 and destroyedG622 them allG3956. 30It will be 49justG2596 the sameG846 on the dayG2250 that the SonG5207 of ManG444 50is revealedG601. 31On that dayG2250, the one whoG3739 is 51on the housetopG1430 and whoseG846 goodsG4632 are in the houseG3614 must not goG2597 downG2597 to takeG142 them out; and likewiseG3668 the one whoG3739 is in the fieldG68 must not turnG1994 backG3694G1994. 3252RememberG3421 Lot’sG3091 wifeG1135. 3353WhoeverG3739G1437 seeksG2212 to keepG4046 his 54lifeG5590 will loseG622 it, and whoeverG3739G302 losesG622 his life will preserveG2225 it. 34I tellG3004 you, on that nightG3571 there will be twoG1417 in oneG1520 bedG2825; oneG1520 will be takenG3880 and the otherG2087 will be leftG863. 3555There will be twoG1417 women grindingG229 at the sameG846 place; oneG1520 will be takenG3880 and the otherG2087 will be leftG863. 36[5657TwoG1417 menG1417 will be in the fieldG68; oneG1520 will be takenG3880 and the otherG2087 will be leftG863.”] 37And answeringG611 they saidG3004 to Him, “WhereG4226, LordG2962?” And He saidG3004 to them, “58WhereG3699 the bodyG4983 is, thereG1563 alsoG2532 the 59vulturesG105 will be gatheredG1996.”
