1 Then He said to the disciples, It is impossible but that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to him through whom they do come!

2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3 Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4 And 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.

5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Give us more faith.

6 So the Lord said, If you have faith as a mustard seed, you might say to this sycamine tree, Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea, and it would obey you.

7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, Come, sit down to eat?

8 But 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?

9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.

10 So 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.

11 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.

13 And they lifted up their voices and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!

14 So 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.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

17 So Jesus answered and said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?

19 And He said to him, Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.

20 And 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;

21 nor will they say, See here; or, See there; for behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.

22 And 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 And they will say to you, Look here; or, Look there. Do not go away nor follow.

24 For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under the heavens, shines to the other part under the heavens, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.

25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected from this generation.

26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

30 Even in the same way will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

31 In that day, he who will be 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 return back.

32 Remember Lot’s wife.

33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left.

35 Two will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left.

36 Two will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.

37 And they answered and said to Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

1 E DISSE aos discípulos: É impossível que não venham escândalos, mas ai daquele por quem vierem! 2 Melhor lhe fora que lhe pusessem ao pescoço uma mó de atafona, e fosse lançado ao mar, do que fazer tropeçar um destes pequenos. 3 Olhai por vós mesmos. E, se teu irmão pecar contra ti, repreende-o, e, se ele se arrepender, perdoa-lhe. 4 E, se pecar contra ti sete vezes no dia, e sete vezes no dia vier ter contigo, dizendo: Arrependo-me; perdoa-lhe. 5 Disseram então os apóstolos ao Senhor: Acrescenta-nos a fé. 6 E disse o Senhor: Se tivésseis fé como um grão de mostarda, diríeis a esta amoreira: Desarraiga-te daqui, e planta-te no mar; e ela vos obedeceria. 7 E qual de vós terá um servo a lavrar ou a apascentar gado, a quem, voltando ele do campo, diga: Chega-te, e assenta-te à mesa? 8 E não lhe diga antes: Prepara-me a ceia, e cinge-te, e serve-me, até que tenha comido e bebido, e depois comerás e beberás tu? 9 Porventura dá graças ao tal servo, porque fez o que lhe foi mandado? Creio que não. 10 Assim também vós, quando fizerdes tudo o que vos for mandado, dizei: Somos servos inúteis, porque fizemos somente o que devíamos fazer.

11 E aconteceu que, indo ele a Jerusalém, passou pelo meio de Samaria e da Galileia; 12 E, entrando numa certa aldeia, saíram-lhe ao encontro dez homens leprosos, os quais pararam de longe; 13 E levantaram a voz dizendo: Jesus, Mestre, tem misericórdia de nós. 14 E ele, vendo-os, disse-lhes: Ide, e mostrai-vos aos sacerdotes. E aconteceu que, indo eles, ficaram limpos. 15 E um deles, vendo que estava são, voltou glorificando a Deus em alta voz: 16 E caiu aos seus pés, com o rosto em terra, dando-lhe graças: e este era samaritano. 17 E, respondendo Jesus, disse: Não foram dez os limpos? E onde estão os nove? 18 Não houve quem voltasse para dar glória a Deus senão este estrangeiro? 19 E disse-lhe: Levanta-te, e vai; a tua fé te salvou.

20 E, interrogado pelos fariseus sobre quando havia de vir o reino de Deus, respondeu-lhes, e disse: O reino de Deus não vem com aparência exterior. 21 Nem dirão: Ei-lo aqui, ou, Ei-lo ali; porque eis que o reino de Deus está entre vós. 22 E disse aos discípulos: Dias virão em que desejareis ver um dos dias do Filho do homem, e não o vereis. 23 E dir-vos-ão: Ei-lo aqui, ou, Ei-lo ali; não vades, nem os sigais; 24 Porque, como o relâmpago ilumina desde uma extremidade inferior do céu até à outra extremidade, assim será também o Filho do homem no seu dia. 25 Mas primeiro convém que ele padeça muito, e seja reprovado por esta geração. 26 E, como aconteceu nos dias de Noé, assim será também nos dias do Filho do homem. 27 Comiam, bebiam, casavam e davam-se em casamento, até ao dia em que Noé entrou na arca, e veio o dilúvio, e os consumiu a todos. 28 Como também da mesma maneira aconteceu nos dias de Ló: comiam, bebiam, compravam, vendiam, plantavam e edificavam; 29 Mas no dia em que Ló saiu de Sodoma choveu do céu fogo e enxofre, e os consumiu a todos. 30 Assim será no dia em que o Filho do homem se há de manifestar. 31 Naquele dia, quem estiver no telhado, tendo as suas alfaias em casa, não desça a tomá-las; e, da mesma sorte, o que estiver no campo não volte para trás. 32 Lembrai-vos da mulher de Ló. 33 Qualquer que procurar salvar a sua vida, perdê-la-á, e qualquer que a perder, salvá-la-á. 34 Digo-vos que naquela noite estarão dois numa cama; um será tomado, e outro será deixado. 35 Duas estarão juntas, moendo; uma será tomada, e outra será deixada. 36 Dois estarão no campo; um será tomado, o outro será deixado, 37 E, respondendo, disseram-lhe: Onde, Senhor? E ele lhes disse: Onde estiver o corpo, aí se ajuntarão as águias.
