1Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!1Jesus told his disciples, "It is inevitable that temptations to sin will come, but how terrible it will be for the person through whom they come!
2It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.2It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
3Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.3"Watch yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
4And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”4Even if he sins against you seven times in a day and comes back to you seven times and says, 'I repent,' you must forgive him."
5And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”5Then the apostles told the Lord, "Give us more faith!"
6So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.6The Lord replied, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you!
7And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?7"Suppose a man among you has a servant plowing or watching sheep. Would he say to him when he comes in from the field, 'Come at once and have something to eat'?
8But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’?8Of course not. Instead, he would say to him, 'Get dinner ready for me, and put on your apron and wait on me until I eat and drink. Then you can eat and drink.'
9Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.9He doesn't praise the servant for doing what was commanded, does he?
10So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ ”10That's the way it is with you. When you have done everything you were ordered to do, say, 'We are worthless servants. We have done only what we ought to have done.'"
11Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.11One day, Jesus was traveling along the border between Samaria and Galilee on the way to Jerusalem.
12Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.12As he was going into a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance
13And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”13and shouted, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
14So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.14When Jesus saw them, he told them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." While they were going, they were made clean.
15And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,15But one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, came back and praised God with a loud voice.
16and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.16He fell on his face at Jesus' feet and thanked him. Now that man was a Samaritan.
17So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?17Jesus asked, "Ten men were made clean, weren't they? Where are the other nine?
18Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”18Except for this foreigner, were any of them found to return and give praise to God?"
19And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”19Then he told the man, "Get up, and go home! Your faith has made you well."
20Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation;20Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come. He answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming with a visible display.
21nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”21People won't be saying, 'Look! Here it is!' or 'There it is!' because now the kingdom of God is among you."
22Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.22Then Jesus told the disciples, "The time will come during which you will long to see one of these days when the Son of Man is with you, but you will not see it.
23And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them.23People will say to you, 'Look! There he is!' or 'Look! Here he is!' But don't go and chase after him.
24For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.24Because just as lightning flashes and shines from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his time.
25But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.25But first he must suffer a great deal and be rejected by those living today.
26And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:26"Just as it was in Noah's time, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man.
27They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.27People were eating, drinking, marrying, and being given in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed all of them.
28Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;28So it was in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.29But on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed all of them.
30Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.30The day when the Son of Man is revealed will be like that.
31“In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back.31"The person who is on the housetop that day must not come down to get his belongings out of his house. The person in the field, too, must not turn back to what's left behind.
32Remember Lot’s wife.32Remember Lot's wife!
33Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.33Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
34I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left.34I tell you, two will be seated on the same couch that night. The one will be taken, and the other will be left behind.
35Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left.35Two women will be grinding grain together. The one will be taken, and the other will be left behind."
36Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”36
37And they answered and said to Him, “Where, Lord?” So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”37Then they asked him, "Where, Lord, will this take place?" He told them, "Wherever there's a corpse, there the vultures will gather."
