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. |
