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.
