Luke 17
Sin, Faith, Duty
He said to the
disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions of
stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come! It would be better for him if a
millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea,
rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Be careful. If your
brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven
times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, 'I repent,' you shall
forgive him."
The apostles said to
the Lord, "Increase our faith."
The Lord said, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would
tell this sycamore tree, 'Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,' and it
would obey you. But who
is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will
say, when he comes in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down at
the table,' and will not
rather tell him, 'Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve
me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink'? Does he thank that servant
because he did the things that were commanded? I think not. Even so you also, when you have
done all the things that are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy
servants. We have done our duty.'"
Ten Healed of Leprosy
It happened as he was
on his way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria
and Galilee. As he
entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood
at a distance. They
lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on
us!"
When he saw them, he
said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the
priests." It happened that as they went, they were cleansed.
One of them, when he saw
that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice. He fell on his face at Jesus'
feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan. Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there none found who
returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?" Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed
you."
The Coming of the Kingdom of God
Being asked by the
Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The Kingdom of God doesn't come with observation; neither will they say, 'Look,
here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the Kingdom of God is within
you."
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. They will tell you, 'Look,
here!' or 'Look, there!' Don't go away, nor follow after them, for as the lightning, when it
flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under
the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day. But first, he must suffer many
things and be rejected by this generation. As it happened in the days of
Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man. They ate, they drank, they
married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into
the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise, even as it happened in
the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they
planted, they built; but
in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from
the sky, and destroyed them all. It will be the same way in the
day that the Son of Man is revealed. In that day, he who will be on
the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them
away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back. Remember Lot's wife! Whoever seeks to save his life
loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it. I tell you, in that night there
will be two people in one bed. The one will be taken, and the other will
be left. There will be
two grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be
left."
They answering, asked
him, "Where, Lord?"
He said to them, "Where the body is, there will
the vultures also be gathered together."
