1 He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come! 2 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. 3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him. 4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him."

5 The emissaries said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."

6 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. 7 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,’ 8 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’? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not. 10 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.’"

11 As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance. 13 They lifted up their voices, saying, "Yeshua, Master, have mercy on us!"

14 When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." As they went, they were cleansed. 15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice. 16 He fell on his face at Yeshua’s feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan. 17 Yeshua answered, "Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?" 19 Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."

20 Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, "God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation; 21 neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you."

22 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. 23 They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them, 24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day. 25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all. 30 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed. 31 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. 32 Remember Lot’s wife! 33 Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left. 35 There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left." 36

37 They, answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?"

He said to them, "Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together."

1 Then Jesus said to his disciples, It is impossible to exclude snares entirely; but, alas, for him who ensnares!2 It would be more eligible for him to have an upper millstone fastened to his neck, and to be cast into the sea, than to ensnare one of these little ones.3 Take heed yourselves: if your brother trespass against you, rebuke him; and if he reforms, forgive him;4 and if he trespass against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day return, saying, I repent, you shall forgive him.5 Then the Apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.6 He answered, If you had faith, though it were but as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this sycamine, Be extirpated, and planted in the sea, and it would obey you.7 Would any of you, who has a servant plowing or feeding cattle, say to him on his return from the field, Come, immediately, and place yourself at table;8 and not rather, Make ready my supper; gird yourself and serve me, until I have eat and drunk; afterward you may eat and drink?9 Is he obliged to that servant for obeying his orders? I suppose not.10 In like manner say you, when you have done all that is commanded of you, We, your servants, have conferred no favor; we have done only what we were bound to do.11 Now, in traveling to Jerusalem, he pass through the confines of Samaria and Galilee;12 and being about to enter a certain village, there met him ten lepers, who stood at a distance,13 and cried out, Jesus, Master, take pity upon us.14 When he saw them, he said to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And as they went, they were cleansed.15 And one of them, perceiving that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God aloud.16 Then throwing himself prostrate at the feet of Jesus, he returned him thanks. Now this man was a Samaritan.17 Jesus said, Were not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?18 Have none returned glory to God except this alien?19 And he said to him, Arise, go your way; your faith has cured you.20 Being questioned by the Pharisees, when the Reign of God should commence, he answered, The Reign of God is not ushered in with parade;21 nor shall people say, Lo, here! or Lo, yonder! for behold, the Reign of God is within you.22 Then he said to his disciples, The time will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and shall not see it.23 But when they say to you, Lo, here! or Lo, yonder! go not out to follow them.24 For as the lightning flashes in an instant from one extremity of the sky to the other, so will the appearance of the Son of Man be, in his day.25 But first he must suffer much, and be rejected of this generation.26 And, as it happened in Noah's days, it will also happen in the days of the Son of Man.27 They eat, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, when the deluge came, and destroyed them all.28 In like manner as it was in the days of Lot, they eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;29 but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, which destroyed them all;30 so it will be on the day when the Son of Man shall appear.31 On that day, let not him who shall be on the house-top, having his furniture in the house, come down to take it away. Let not him who shall be in the field, return home.32 Remember Lot's wife.33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life, shall preserve it.34 I tell you, there will be two men, that night, in one bed; one will be seized, and the other will be left.35 Two women will be grinding together; one will be seized, and the other will be left.36 OMITTED TEXT37 Then they asked him, Where, Master? He answered, Where the body is, the eagles will be assembled.
