^{1 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.

^{6 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.

^{12 Ref} 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 Ref} Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

^{14 Ref} And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.

^{15 Ref} And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;

^{16 Ref} 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 Ref} And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?

^{18 Ref} Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?

^{19 Ref} And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.

^{20 Ref} 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 Ref} And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.

^{22 Ref} 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 Ref} And if they say to you, See, it is there! or, It is here! do not go away, or go after them.

^{24 Ref} 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 Ref} But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.

^{26 Ref} And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.

^{27 Ref} 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 Ref} In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;

^{29 Ref} But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.

^{30 Ref} So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.

^{31 Ref} 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 Ref} Keep in mind Lot's wife.

^{33 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.

³⁶ []

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

^{1 Ref} He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!

^{2 Ref} 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 Ref} Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.

^{4 Ref} If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him."

^{5 Ref} The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."

^{6 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} It happened as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.

^{12 Ref} As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.

^{13 Ref} They lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

^{14 Ref} 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 Ref} One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.

^{16 Ref} He fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

^{17 Ref} Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

^{18 Ref} Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?"

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

^{20 Ref} 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 Ref} neither will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you."

^{22 Ref} 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 Ref} They will tell you, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Don't go away, nor follow after them,

^{24 Ref} 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 Ref} But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

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

^{27 Ref} 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 Ref} Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

^{29 Ref} but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.

^{30 Ref} It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

^{31 Ref} 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 Ref} Remember Lot's wife!

^{33 Ref} Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.

^{34 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} They answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together."
