Murdock - Luke - 17

17:1  And Jesus said to his disciples: It cannot be, but that offences will come: but woe to him, by whom they come.

17:2  Better for him were it, if a millstone were suspended to his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

17:3  Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother transgress, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

17:4  And if he shall offend against thee seven times in a day, and, seven times in a day, shall turn himself to thee, and say, I repent; forgive him.

17:5  And the Legates said to our Lord: Increase our faith.

17:6  He said to them: If ye had faith like a grain of mustard seed, ye might say to this mulberry-tree, Be thou torn up by the roots, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.

17:7  Which of you, having a servant driving a yoke of oxen, or tending sheep, will say to him when he cometh from the field, Pass on at once, and recline for supper?

17:8  But he will say to him: Prepare for me what I may sup upon, and gird thy loins and serve me, until I have eaten and drunken; and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink.

17:9  Hath he thanks for him, because the servant did what was commanded him? I think not.

17:10  So also ye, when ye have done all the things commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants, for we have done only what we were obligated to do.

17:11  And it occurred as Jesus advanced towards Jerusalem, that he passed among the Samaritans into Galilee.

17:12  And when he drew near to enter a certain village, there met him ten leprous men; and they stood at a distance,

17:13  and raised their voice, and said: Our Rabbi, Jesus, have compassion upon us.

17:14  And when he had looked upon them, he said to them: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And as they were going, they were cleansed.

17:15  And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned, and with a loud voice, glorified God.

17:16  And he fell on his face, at the feet of Jesus, and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan.

17:17  And Jesus answered, and said: Were they not ten who were cleansed? Where are the nine?

17:18  Have they so gone as not to come and give glory to God; except this one, who is of another nation?

17:19  And he said to him; Arise, and go: thy faith hath given thee life.

17:20  And as some of the Pharisees asked him, When the kingdom of God would come; he answered, and said to them: The kingdom of God will not come with observables.

17:21  And they will not say: Behold, here it is! or, Behold, it is there! For lo, the kingdom of God is within you

17:22  And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when ye will long to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye will not see them.

17:23  And if they shall say to you: Lo, here he is! or, Lo, there he is! go not forth.

17:24  For, as the lightning darteth from the heavens, and illuminateth all beneath the heavens; so will the Son of man be, in his day.

17:25  But, previously, he is to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

17:26  And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of man.

17:27  They ate and drank, they took wives and were given to husbands, until the day that Noah entered the ark; and the flood came, and destroyed every one.

17:28  And again, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate and drank, bought and sold, planted and built.

17:29  But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, the Lord rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed them all.

17:30  Thus will it be, in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.

17:31  In that day, let him that is on the house-top, and his goods in the house, not come down to take them: and let him that is in the field, not return after what is behind him.

17:32  Remember Lot's wife.

17:33  He that desireth to preserve his life, will lose it; and he that will lose his life, shall preserve it.

17:34  I tell you, that, in that night, two will be in one bed; one will be taken, and the other left.

17:35  And two females will be grinding together; one will be taken, and the other left.

17:36  Two men will be in the field; one will be taken, and the other left.

17:37  They answered, and said to him: Whither, our Lord? He said to them: Where the body is, there will the eagles assemble themselves.
