¹ Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

² It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

³ Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

⁴ And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

⁵ And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

⁶ And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

⁷ But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

⁸ And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

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

¹⁰ So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

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

¹⁴ And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, 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 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

¹⁸ There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

¹⁹ And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

²⁰ And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

²¹ Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

²² And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

²³ And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

²⁴ For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

²⁵ But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

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

²⁸ Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

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

³⁰ Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

³¹ In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

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, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

³⁵ Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

³⁶ Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

³⁷ And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

¹ Then ^G1161 said he ^G2036 unto ^G4314 the disciples, ^G3101 It is ^G2076 impossible ^G418 but ^G3361 that offences ^G4625 will come: ^G2064 but ^G1161 woe ^G3759 unto him, through ^G1223 whom ^G3739 they come! ^G2064

² It were better ^G3081 for him ^G846 that ^G1487 a millstone ^{G3458 G3684} were hanged ^G4029 about ^G4012 his ^G846 neck, ^G5137 and ^G2532 he cast ^G4496 into ^G1519 the sea, ^G2281 than ^G2228 that ^G2443 he should offend ^G4624 one ^G1520 of these ^G5130 little ones. ^G3398

³ Take heed ^G4337 to yourselves: ^G1438 If ^{G1161 G1437} thy ^G4675 brother ^G80 trespass ^G264 against ^G1519 thee, ^G4571 rebuke ^G2008 him; ^G846 and ^G2532 if ^G1437 he repent, ^G3340 forgive ^G863 him. ^G846

⁴ And ^G2532 if ^G1437 he trespass ^G264 against ^G1519 thee ^G4571 seven times ^G2034 in a day, ^G2250 and ^G2532 seven times ^G2034 in a day ^G2250 turn again ^G1994 to ^G1909 thee, ^G4571 saying, ^G3004 I repent; ^G3340 thou shalt forgive ^G863 him. ^G846

⁵ And ^G2532 the apostles ^G652 said ^G2036 unto the Lord, ^G2962 Increase ^G4369 our ^G2254 faith. ^G4102

⁶ And ^G1161 the Lord ^G2962 said, ^G2036 If ^G1487 ye had ^G2192 faith ^G4102 as ^G5613 a grain ^G2848 of mustard seed, ^G4615 ye might ^G302 say ^G3004 unto this ^G5026 sycamine ^G4807 tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, ^G1610 and ^G2532 be thou planted ^G5452 in ^G1722 the sea; ^G2281 and ^G2532 it should ^G302 obey ^G5219 you. ^G5213

⁷ But ^G1161 which ^G5101 of ^G1537 you, ^G5216 having ^G2192 a servant ^G1401 plowing ^G722 or ^G2228 feeding cattle, ^G4165 will say ^G2046 unto him ^G3739 by and by, ^G2112 when he is come ^G1525 from ^G1537 the field, ^G68 Go ^G3928 and sit down to meat? ^G377

⁸ And ^G235 will not ^G3780 rather say ^G2046 unto him, ^G846 Make ready ^G2090 wherewith ^G5101 I may sup, ^G1172 and ^G2532 gird thyself, ^G4024 and serve ^G1247 me, ^G3427 till ^G2193 I have eaten ^G5315 and ^G2532 drunken; ^G4095 and ^G2532 afterward ^{G3326 G5023} thou ^G4771 shalt eat ^G5315 and ^G2532 drink? ^G4095

^{9 G3361} Doth he ^G2192 thank ^G5485 that ^G1565 servant ^G1401 because ^G3754 he did ^G4160 the things that were commanded ^G1299 him? ^G846 I trow ^G1380 not. ^G3756

¹⁰ So ^G3779 likewise ^G2532 ye, ^G5210 when ^G3752 ye shall have done ^G4160 all ^G3956 those things which are commanded ^G1299 you, ^G5213 say, ^{G3004 G3754} We are ^G2070 unprofitable ^G888 servants: ^{G1401 G3754} we have done ^G4160 that which ^G3739 was our duty ^G3784 to do. ^G4160

¹¹ And ^G2532 it came to pass, ^G1096 as ^G1722 he ^G846 went ^G4198 to ^G1519 Jerusalem, ^G2419 that ^G2532 he ^G846 passed ^G1330 through ^G1223 the midst ^G3319 of Samaria ^G4540 and ^G2532 Galilee. ^G1056

¹² And ^G2532 as he ^G846 entered ^G1525 into ^G1519 a certain ^G5100 village, ^G2968 there met ^G528 him ^G846 ten ^G1176 men ^G435 that were lepers, ^G3015 which ^G3739 stood ^G2476 afar off: ^G4207

¹³ And ^G2532 they ^G846 lifted up ^G142 their voices, ^G5456 and said, ^G3004 Jesus, ^G2424 Master, ^G1988 have mercy ^G1653 on us. ^G2248

¹⁴ And ^G2532 when he saw ^G1492 them, he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Go ^G4198 shew ^G1925 yourselves ^G1438 unto the priests. ^G2409 And ^G2532 it came to pass, ^G1096 that, as they ^G846 went, ^{G5217 G1722} they were cleansed. ^G2511

¹⁵ And ^G1161 one ^G1520 of ^G1537 them, ^G846 when he saw ^G1492 that ^G3754 he was healed, ^G2390 turned back, ^G5290 and with ^G3326 a loud ^G3173 voice ^G5456 glorified ^G1392 God, ^G2316

¹⁶ And ^G2532 fell down ^G4098 on ^G1909 his face ^G4383 at ^G3844 his ^G846 feet, ^G4228 giving ^G2168 him ^G846 thanks: ^G2168 and ^G2532 he ^G846 was ^G2258 a Samaritan. ^G4541

¹⁷ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 answering ^G611 said, ^G2036 Were there ^G2511 not ^G3780 ten ^G1176 cleansed? ^G2511 but ^G1161 where ^G4226 are the nine? ^G1767

¹⁸ There are ^G2147 not ^G3756 found ^G2147 that returned ^G5290 to give ^G1325 glory ^G1391 to God, ^G2316 save ^G1508 this ^G3778 stranger. ^G241

¹⁹ And ^G2532 he said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Arise, ^G450 go thy way: ^G4198 thy ^G4675 faith ^G4102 hath made ^G4982 thee ^G4571 whole. ^G4982

²⁰ And ^G1161 when he was demanded ^G1905 of ^G5259 the Pharisees, ^G5330 when ^G4219 the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316 should come, ^G2064 he answered ^G611 them ^G846 and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 The kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316 cometh ^G2064 not ^G3756 with ^G3326 observation: ^G3907

²¹ Neither ^G3761 shall they say, ^G2046 Lo ^G2400 here! ^G5602 or, ^G2228 lo ^G2400 there! ^G1563 for, ^G1063 behold, ^G2400 the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316 is ^G2076 within ^G1787 you. ^G5216

²² And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 the disciples, ^G3101 The days ^G2250 will come, ^G2064 when ^G3753 ye shall desire ^G1937 to see ^G1492 one ^G3391 of the days ^G2250 of the Son ^G5207 of man, ^G444 and ^G2532 ye shall ^G3700 not ^G3756 see ^G3700 it.

²³ And ^G2532 they shall say ^G2046 to you, ^G5213 See ^G2400 here; ^G5602 or, ^G2228 see ^G2400 there: ^G1563 go ^G565 not ^G3361 after ^G565 them, nor ^G3366 follow ^G1377 them.

²⁴ For ^G1063 as ^G5618 the lightning, ^G796 that lighteneth ^G797 out of ^G1537 the one part under ^G5259 heaven, ^G3772 shineth ^G2989 unto ^G1519 the other part under ^G5259 heaven; ^G3772 so ^G3779 shall also ^G2532 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 be ^G2071 in ^G1722 his ^G846 day. ^G2250

²⁵ But ^G1161 first ^G4412 must ^G1163 he ^G846 suffer ^G3958 many things, ^G4183 and ^G2532 be rejected ^G593 of ^G575 this ^G5026 generation. ^G1074

²⁶ And ^G2532 as ^G2531 it was ^G1096 in ^G1722 the days ^G2250 of Noe, ^G3575 so ^G3779 shall it be ^G2071 also ^G2532 in ^G1722 the days ^G2250 of the Son ^G5207 of man. ^G444

²⁷ They did eat, ^G2068 they drank, ^G4095 they married wives, ^G1060 they were given in marriage, ^G1547 until ^G891 the day ^G2250 that ^G3739 Noe ^G3575 entered ^G1525 into ^G1519 the ark, ^G2787 and ^G2532 the flood ^G2627 came, ^G2064 and ^G2532 destroyed ^G622 them all. ^G537

²⁸ Likewise ^G3668 also ^G2532 as ^G5613 it was ^G1096 in ^G1722 the days ^G2250 of Lot; ^G3091 they did eat, ^G2068 they drank, ^G4095 they bought, ^G59 they sold, ^G4453 they planted, ^G5452 they builded; ^G3618

²⁹ But ^{G3739 G1161} the same day ^G2250 that Lot ^G3091 went ^G1831 out of ^G575 Sodom ^G4670 it rained ^G1026 fire ^G4442 and ^G2532 brimstone ^G2303 from ^G575 heaven, ^G3772 and ^G2532 destroyed ^G622 them all. ^G537

³⁰ Even ^G2596 thus ^G5024 shall it be ^G2071 in the day ^{G3739 G2250} when the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 is revealed. ^G601

³¹ In ^G1722 that ^G1565 day, ^G2250 he which ^G3739 shall be ^G2071 upon ^G1909 the housetop, ^G1430 and ^G2532 his ^G846 stuff ^G4632 in ^G1722 the house, ^G3614 let ^G2597 him not ^G3361 come down ^G2597 to take ^G142 it ^G846 away: ^G142 and ^G2532 he that is in ^G1722 the field, ^G68 let him ^G1994 likewise ^G3668 not ^G3361 return ^G1994 back. ^{G1519 G3694}

³² Remember ^G3421 Lot's ^G3091 wife. ^G1135

³³ Whosoever ^{G3739 G1437} shall seek ^G2212 to save ^G4982 his ^G846 life ^G5590 shall lose ^G622 it; ^G846 and ^G2532 whosoever ^{G3739 G1437} shall lose ^G622 his ^G846 life shall preserve ^G2225 it. ^G846

³⁴ I tell ^G3004 you, ^G5213 in that ^G5026 night ^G3571 there shall be ^G2071 two ^G1417 men in ^G1909 one ^G3391 bed; ^G2825 the one ^G1520 shall be taken, ^G3880 and ^G2532 the other ^G2087 shall be left. ^G863

³⁵ Two ^G1417 women shall be ^G2071 grinding ^G229 together; ^{G846 G1909} the one ^G3391 shall be taken, ^G3880 and ^G2532 the other ^G2087 left. ^G863

³⁶ Two ^G1417 men shall be ^G2071 in ^G1722 the field; ^G68 the one ^G1520 shall be taken, ^G3880 and ^G2532 the other ^G2087 left. ^G863

³⁷ And ^G2532 they answered ^G611 and said ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Where, ^G4226 Lord? ^G2962 And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Wheresoever ^G3699 the body ^G4983 is, thither ^G1563 will ^G4863 the eagles ^G105 be gathered together. ^G4863

¹ And he said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come; but woe unto him, through whom they come!

² It were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

³ Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

⁴ And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

⁵ And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

⁶ And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.

⁷ But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat;

⁸ and will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

⁹ Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded?

¹⁰ Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as they were on their way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off:

¹³ and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

¹⁴ And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God;

¹⁶ and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

¹⁸ Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?

¹⁹ And he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

²⁰ And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

²¹ neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.

²² And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

²³ And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after `them':

²⁴ for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.

²⁵ But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.

²⁶ And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

²⁷ 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.

²⁸ Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

²⁹ but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:

³⁰ after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.

³¹ In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back.

³² Remember Lot's wife.

³³ Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose `his life' shall preserve it.

³⁴ I say unto you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

³⁵ There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

³⁶ `There shall be two men in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.'

³⁷ And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body `is', thither will the eagles also be gathered together.

---

¹ And he said unto the disciples, `It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but wo `to him' through whom they come;

² it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.

³ `Take heed to yourselves, and, if thy brother may sin in regard to thee, rebuke him, and if he may reform, forgive him,

⁴ and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.'

⁵ And the apostles said to the Lord, `Add to us faith;'

⁶ and the Lord said, `If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

⁷ `But, who is he of you -- having a servant ploughing or feeding -- who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come near, recline at meat?

⁸ but will not `rather' say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and having girded thyself about, minister to me, till I eat and drink, and after these things thou shalt eat and drink?

⁹ Hath he favour to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not.

¹⁰ `So also ye, when ye may have done all the things directed you, say -- We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do -- we have done.'

¹¹ And it came to pass, in his going on to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee,

¹² and he entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off,

¹³ and they lifted up the voice, saying, `Jesus, master, deal kindly with us;'

¹⁴ and having seen `them', he said to them, `Having gone on, shew yourselves to the priests;' and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed,

¹⁵ and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God,

¹⁶ and he fell upon `his' face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, `Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine -- where?

¹⁸ There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;'

¹⁹ and he said to him, `Having risen, be going on, thy faith hath saved thee.'

²⁰ And having been questioned by the Pharisees, when the reign of God doth come, he answered them, and said, `The reign of God doth not come with observation;

²¹ nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the reign of God is within you.'

²² And he said unto his disciples, `Days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not behold `it';

²³ and they shall say to you, Lo, here; or lo, there; ye may not go away, nor follow;

²⁴ for as the lightning that is lightening out of the one `part' under heaven, to the other part under heaven doth shine, so shall be also the Son of Man in his day;

²⁵ and first it behoveth him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

²⁶ `And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man;

²⁷ they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed all;

²⁸ in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

²⁹ and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all.

³⁰ `According to these things it shall be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;

³¹ in that day, he who shall be on the house top, and his vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, let him not turn backward;

³² remember the wife of Lot.

³³ Whoever may seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever may lose it, shall preserve it.

³⁴ `I say to you, In that night, there shall be two men on one couch, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;

³⁵ two women shall be grinding at the same place together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;

³⁶ two men shall be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other left.'

³⁷ And they answering say to him, `Where, sir?' and he said to them, `Where the body `is', there will the eagles be gathered together.'

---

¹ And he said to his disciples, It cannot be but that offences come, but woe [to him] by whom they come!

² It would be [more] profitable for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should be a snare to one of these little ones.

³ Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should repent, forgive him.

⁴ And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times should return to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.

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

⁶ But the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye had said to this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

⁷ But which of you [is there] who, having a bondman ploughing or shepherding, when he comes in out of the field, will say, Come and lie down immediately to table?

⁸ But will he not say to him, Prepare what I shall sup on, and gird thyself and serve me that I may eat and drink; and after that *thou* shalt eat and drink?

⁹ Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered? I judge not.

¹⁰ Thus *ye* also, when ye shall have done all things that have been ordered you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen; we have done what it was our duty to do.

¹¹ And it came to pass as he was going up to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as he entered into a certain village ten leprous men met him, who stood afar off.

¹³ And they lifted up [their] voice saying, Jesus, Master, have compassion on us.

¹⁴ And seeing [them] he said to them, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as they were going they were cleansed.

¹⁵ And one of them, seeing that he was cured, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,

¹⁶ and fell on [his] face at his feet giving him thanks: and *he* was a Samaritan.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but the nine, where [are they]?

¹⁸ There have not been found to return and give glory to God save this stranger.

¹⁹ And he said to him, Rise up and go thy way: thy faith has made thee well.

²⁰ And having been asked by the Pharisees, When is the kingdom of God coming? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation;

²¹ nor shall they say, Lo here, or, Lo there; for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.

²² And he said to the disciples, Days are coming, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see [it].

²³ And they will say to you, Lo here, or Lo there; go not, nor follow [them].

²⁴ For as the lightning shines which lightens from [one end] under heaven to [the other end] under heaven, thus shall the Son of man be in his day.

²⁵ But first he must suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.

²⁶ And as it took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall it be in the days of the Son of man:

²⁷ they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all [of them];

²⁸ and in like manner as took place in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

²⁹ but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all [of them]:

³⁰ after this [manner] shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.

³¹ In that day, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

³² Remember the wife of Lot.

³³ Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it.

³⁴ I say to you, In that night there shall be two [men] upon one bed; one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.

³⁵ Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.

³⁶ [Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be seized and the other let go.]

³⁷ And answering they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together.

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 apostles 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 It happened as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that 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, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

¹⁴ When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." It happened that 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 Jesus' feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷ Jesus 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 stranger?"

¹⁹ Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."

²⁰ Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The Kingdom of God doesn't come with observation;

²¹ neither will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the Kingdom of God 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, nor follow after them,

²⁴ 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.

²⁵ But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

²⁶ As it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.

²⁷ 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.

²⁸ Likewise, even as it happened 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. The 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 {Some Greek manuscripts add: "Two will be in the field, the one taken, and the other left."}

³⁷ They answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together."

---

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.
