1 Jėzus kalbėjo savo mokiniams: "Papiktinimai neišvengiami, bet vargas tam, per kurį jie ateina.
2 Jam būtų geriau, jei ant kaklo užkabintų girnų akmenį ir įmestų jūron, negu jis papiktintų nors vieną iš šitų mažutėlių.
3 Saugokitės! Jei tavo brolis nusideda prieš tave, sudrausk jį ir, jeigu jis atgailauja, atleisk jam.
4 Jei jis septynis kartus per dieną tau nusidėtų ir septynis kartus kreiptųsi į tave, sakydamas: ‘Atgailauju’,atleisk jam".
5 Apaštalai tarė Viešpačiui: "Sustiprink mūsų tikėjimą".
6 O Viešpats atsakė: "Jei turėtumėte tikėjimą kaip garstyčios grūdelį, galėtumėte sakyti šitam šilkmedžiui: ‘Išsirauk ir pasisodink jūroje’,ir jis paklausytų jūsų".
7 "Kas iš jūsų, turėdamas ariantį ar ganantį vergą, jam grįžus iš lauko, sakys: ‘Tuojau sėsk prie stalo’?
8 Argi nesakys jam: ‘Paruošk man vakarienę. Susijuosk ir patarnauk, kol aš valgysiu ir gersiu, o paskui tu pavalgysi ir atsigersi’?
9 Argi vergui dėkojama, kad jis atliko tai, kas jam liepta? Nemanau.
10 Taigi jūs, atlikę visa, kas jums pavesta, sakykite: ‘Esame nenaudingi vergai. Padarėme, ką privalėjome padaryti’ ".
11 Keliaujant į Jeruzalę, teko Jėzui eiti tarp Samarijos ir Galilėjos.
12 Jam įeinant į vieną kaimą, Jį pasitiko dešimt raupsuotų vyrų. Jie sustojo atstu
13 ir garsiai šaukė: "Jėzau, Mokytojau, pasigailėk mūsų!"
14 Pamatęs juos, Jis tarė: "Eikite, pasirodykite kunigams!" Ir beeidami jie pasveiko.
15 Vienas iš jų, patyręs, kad išgijo, sugrįžo atgal, garsiai garbindamas Dievą.
16 Jis dėkodamas parpuolė Jėzui po kojų. Tai buvo samarietis.
17 Jėzus paklausė: "Argi ne dešimt pasveiko? Kur dar devyni?
18 Ar neatsirado nė vieno, kuris grįžtų atiduoti Dievui garbę, išskyrus šitą svetimtautį?"
19 Ir tarė jam: "Kelkis, eik! Tavo tikėjimas išgydė tave".
20 Fariziejų paklaustas, kada ateis Dievo karalystė, Jėzus atsakė: "Dievo karalystė neateina regimai.
21 Niekas nepasakys: ‘Žiūrėk, ji čia’, arba: ‘Žiūrėk, ji ten!’ Nes štai Dievo karalystė yra tarp jūsų".
22 Ir Jis tarė mokiniams: "Ateis dienos, kai norėsite išvysti bent vieną Žmogaus Sūnaus dieną, ir nepamatysite.
23 Jums sakys: ‘Žiūrėkite čia! Žiūrėkite ten!’Nesekite jais ir neikite paskui juos.
24 Kaip tvykstelėjęs žaibas nušviečia viską nuo vieno dangaus pakraščio iki kito, taip savo dieną pasirodys ir Žmogaus Sūnus.
25 Bet pirmiau Jis turės daug iškentėti ir būti šitos kartos atmestas.
26 Kaip buvo Nojaus dienomis, taip bus ir Žmogaus Sūnaus dienomis.
27 Jie valgė, gėrė, tuokėsi ir tuokė, kol atėjo diena, kai Nojus įlipo į laivą. Tada užėjo tvanas ir visus sunaikino.
28 Taip pat buvo ir Loto dienomis. Jie valgė ir gėrė, pirko ir pardavinėjo, sodino ir statė.
29 O tą dieną, kada Lotas paliko Sodomą, iš dangaus krito ugnis ir siera ir visus sunaikino.
30 Šitaip bus ir tą dieną, kai pasirodys Žmogaus Sūnus.
31 Kas tą dieną bus ant stogo, o jo daiktai viduje, tenelipa žemyn jų pasiimti, o kas laukuose, tenegrįžta namo.
32 Prisiminkite Loto žmoną!
33 Kas stengsis išgelbėti savo gyvybę, tas ją praras, o kas ją praras, tas atgaivins ją.
34 Sakau jums: tą naktį dviese miegos vienoje lovoje, ir vienas bus paimtas, o kitas paliktas.
35 Dvi mals drauge, ir viena bus paimta, o kita palikta.
36 Du bus lauke, ir vienas bus paimtas, kitas paliktas".
37 Tada jie atsiliepė: "O kurgi, Viešpatie?" Jis atsakė: "Kur tik bus lavonų, ten sulėks ir maitvanagiai".
1 And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.
2 It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.
3 Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.
4 And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.
5 And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.
6 And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.
7 But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,
8 Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?
9 Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?
10 In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.
11 And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.
12 And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,
13 Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;
16 And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.
17 And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?
18 Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?
19 And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.
20 And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:
21 And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.
22 And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.
23 And if they say to you, See, it is there! or, It is here! do not go away, or go after them.
24 For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.
25 But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.
26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.
27 They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.
28 In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;
29 But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.
30 So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.
31 On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.
32 Keep in mind Lot's wife.
33 If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.
34 I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.
35 Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.

37 And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.
