Luke 17
WEB·Luke 17
1He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
KJVThenG1161 said heG2036(G5627) untoG4314 the disciplesG3101, It isG2076(G5748) impossibleG418 butG3361 that offencesG4625 will comeG2064(G5629): butG1161 woeG3759 unto him, throughG1223 whomG3739 they comeG2064(G5736)!
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.
KJVIt were betterG3081(G5719) for himG846 thatG1487 a millstoneG3458G3684 were hangedG4029(G5736) aboutG4012 hisG846 neckG5137, andG2532 he castG4496(G5769) intoG1519 the seaG2281, thanG2228 thatG2443 he should offendG4624(G5661) oneG1520 of theseG5130 little onesG3398.
3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
KJVTake heedG4337(G5720) to yourselvesG1438: IfG1161G1437 thyG4675 brotherG80 trespassG264(G5632) againstG1519 theeG4571, rebukeG2008(G5657) himG846; andG2532 ifG1437 he repentG3340(G5661), forgiveG863(G5628) himG846.
4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
KJVAndG2532 ifG1437 he trespassG264(G5632) againstG1519 theeG4571 seven timesG2034 in a dayG2250, andG2532 seven timesG2034 in a dayG2250 turn againG1994(G5661) toG1909 theeG4571, sayingG3004(G5723), I repentG3340(G5719); thou shalt forgiveG863(G5692) himG846.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
KJVAndG2532 the apostlesG652 saidG2036(G5627) unto the LordG2962, IncreaseG4369(G5628) ourG2254 faithG4102.
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.
KJVAndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036(G5627), IfG1487 ye hadG2192(G5707) faithG4102 asG5613 a grainG2848 of mustard seedG4615, ye mightG302 sayG3004(G5707) unto thisG5026 sycamineG4807 tree, Be thou plucked up by the rootG1610(G5682), andG2532 be thou plantedG5452(G5682) inG1722 the seaG2281; andG2532 it shouldG302 obeyG5219(G5656) youG5213.
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’?
KJVButG1161 whichG5101 ofG1537 youG5216, havingG2192(G5723) a servantG1401 plowingG722(G5723) orG2228 feeding cattleG4165(G5723), will sayG2046(G5692) unto himG3739 by and byG2112, when he is comeG1525(G5631) fromG1537 the fieldG68, GoG3928(G5631) and sit down to meatG377(G5669)?
8 Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
KJVAndG235 will notG3780 rather sayG2046(G5692) unto himG846, Make readyG2090(G5657) wherewithG5101 I may supG1172(G5661), andG2532 gird thyselfG4024(G5671), and serveG1247(G5720) meG3427, tillG2193 I have eatenG5315(G5632) andG2532 drunkenG4095(G5632); andG2532 afterwardG3326G5023 thouG4771 shalt eatG5315(G5695) andG2532 drinkG4095(G5695)?
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
KJVG3361 Doth heG2192(G5719) thankG5485 thatG1565 servantG1401 becauseG3754 he didG4160(G5656) the things that were commandedG1299(G5685) himG846? I trowG1380(G5719) notG3756.
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.’”
KJVSoG3779 likewiseG2532 yeG5210, whenG3752 ye shall have doneG4160(G5661) allG3956 those things which are commandedG1299(G5685) youG5213, sayG3004(G5720),G3754 We areG2070(G5748) unprofitableG888 servantsG1401:G3754 we have doneG4160(G5658) that whichG3739 was our dutyG3784(G5707) to doG4160(G5758).
11 As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
KJVAndG2532 it came to passG1096(G5633), asG1722 heG846 wentG4198(G5738) toG1519 JerusalemG2419, thatG2532 heG846 passedG1330(G5711) throughG1223 the midstG3319 of SamariaG4540 andG2532 GalileeG1056.
12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
KJVAndG2532 as heG846 enteredG1525(G5740) intoG1519 a certainG5100 villageG2968, there metG528(G5656) himG846 tenG1176 menG435 that were lepersG3015, whichG3739 stoodG2476(G5627) afar offG4207:
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
KJVAndG2532 theyG846 lifted upG142(G5656) their voicesG5456, and saidG3004(G5723), JesusG2424, MasterG1988, have mercyG1653(G5657) on usG2248.
14 When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
KJVAndG2532 when he sawG1492(G5631) them, he saidG2036(G5627) unto themG846, GoG4198(G5679) shewG1925(G5657) yourselvesG1438 unto the priestsG2409. AndG2532 it came to passG1096(G5633), that, as theyG846 wentG5217(G5721)G1722, they were cleansedG2511(G5681).
15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
KJVAndG1161 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846, when he sawG1492(G5631) thatG3754 he was healedG2390(G5681), turned backG5290(G5656), and withG3326 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 glorifiedG1392(G5723) GodG2316,
16 He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
KJVAndG2532 fell downG4098(G5627) onG1909 his faceG4383 atG3844 hisG846 feetG4228, givingG2168 himG846 thanksG2168(G5723): andG2532 heG846 wasG2258(G5713) a SamaritanG4541.
17 Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
KJVAndG1161 JesusG2424 answeringG611(G5679) saidG2036(G5627), Were thereG2511 notG3780 tenG1176 cleansedG2511(G5681)? butG1161 whereG4226 are the nineG1767?
18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
KJVThere areG2147 notG3756 foundG2147(G5681) that returnedG5290(G5660) to giveG1325(G5629) gloryG1391 to GodG2316, saveG1508 thisG3778 strangerG241.
19 Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”
KJVAndG2532 he saidG2036(G5627) unto himG846, AriseG450(G5631), go thy wayG4198(G5737): thyG4675 faithG4102 hath madeG4982 theeG4571 wholeG4982(G5758).
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;
KJVAndG1161 when he was demandedG1905(G5685) ofG5259 the PhariseesG5330, whenG4219 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 should comeG2064(G5736), he answeredG611(G5662) themG846 andG2532 saidG2036(G5627), The kingdomG932 of GodG2316 comethG2064(G5736) notG3756 withG3326 observationG3907:
21 neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
KJVNeitherG3761 shall they sayG2046(G5692), LoG2400(G5628) hereG5602! orG2228, loG2400(G5628) thereG1563! forG1063, beholdG2400(G5628), the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076(G5748) withinG1787 youG5216.
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.
KJVAndG1161 he saidG2036(G5627) untoG4314 the disciplesG3101, The daysG2250 will comeG2064(G5695), whenG3753 ye shall desireG1937(G5692) to seeG1492(G5629) oneG3391 of the daysG2250 of the SonG5207 of manG444, andG2532 ye shallG3700 notG3756 seeG3700(G5695) it.
23 They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,
KJVAndG2532 they shall sayG2046(G5692) to youG5213, SeeG2400(G5628) hereG5602; orG2228, seeG2400(G5628) thereG1563: goG565 notG3361 afterG565(G5632) them, norG3366 followG1377(G5661) them.
24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
KJVForG1063 asG5618 the lightningG796, that lightenethG797(G5723) out ofG1537 the one part underG5259 heavenG3772, shinethG2989(G5719) untoG1519 the other part underG5259 heavenG3772; soG3779 shall alsoG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071(G5704) inG1722 hisG846 dayG2250.
25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
KJVButG1161 firstG4412 mustG1163(G5748) heG846 sufferG3958(G5629) many thingsG4183, andG2532 be rejectedG593(G5683) ofG575 thisG5026 generationG1074.
26 As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
KJVAndG2532 asG2531 it wasG1096(G5633) inG1722 the daysG2250 of NoeG3575, soG3779 shall it beG2071(G5704) alsoG2532 inG1722 the daysG2250 of the SonG5207 of manG444.
27 They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
KJVThey did eatG2068(G5707), they drankG4095(G5707), they married wivesG1060(G5707), they were given in marriageG1547(G5712), untilG891 the dayG2250 thatG3739 NoeG3575 enteredG1525(G5627) intoG1519 the arkG2787, andG2532 the floodG2627 cameG2064(G5627), andG2532 destroyedG622(G5656) them allG537.
28 Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
KJVLikewiseG3668 alsoG2532 asG5613 it wasG1096(G5633) inG1722 the daysG2250 of LotG3091; they did eatG2068(G5707), they drankG4095(G5707), they boughtG59(G5707), they soldG4453(G5707), they plantedG5452(G5707), they buildedG3618(G5707);
29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all.
KJVButG3739G1161 the same dayG2250 that LotG3091 wentG1831(G5627) out ofG575 SodomG4670 it rainedG1026(G5656) fireG4442 andG2532 brimstoneG2303 fromG575 heavenG3772, andG2532 destroyedG622(G5656) them allG537.
30 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
KJVEvenG2596 thusG5024 shall it beG2071(G5704) in the dayG3739G2250 when the SonG5207 of manG444 is revealedG601(G5743).
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.
KJVInG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250, he whichG3739 shall beG2071(G5704) uponG1909 the housetopG1430, andG2532 hisG846 stuffG4632 inG1722 the houseG3614, letG2597 him notG3361 come downG2597(G5628) to takeG142 itG846 awayG142(G5658): andG2532 he that is inG1722 the fieldG68, let himG1994 likewiseG3668 notG3361 returnG1994(G5657) backG1519G3694.
32 Remember Lot’s wife!
KJVRememberG3421(G5720) Lot'sG3091 wifeG1135.
33 Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
KJVWhosoeverG3739G1437 shall seekG2212(G5661) to saveG4982(G5658) hisG846 lifeG5590 shall loseG622(G5692) itG846; andG2532 whosoeverG3739G1437 shall loseG622(G5661) hisG846 life shall preserveG2225(G5692) itG846.
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left.
KJVI tellG3004(G5719) youG5213, in thatG5026 nightG3571 there shall beG2071(G5704) twoG1417 men inG1909 oneG3391 bedG2825; the oneG1520 shall be takenG3880(G5701), andG2532 the otherG2087 shall be leftG863(G5701).
35 There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.”
KJVTwoG1417 women shall beG2071(G5704) grindingG229(G5723) togetherG846G1909; the oneG3391 shall be takenG3880(G5701), andG2532 the otherG2087 leftG863(G5701).
36World English Bible does not include this verse.
KJVTwoG1417 men shall beG2071(G5704) inG1722 the fieldG68; the oneG1520 shall be takenG3880(G5701), andG2532 the otherG2087 leftG863(G5701).
37 They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.”
KJVAndG2532 they answeredG611(G5679) and saidG3004(G5719) unto himG846, WhereG4226, LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG2036(G5627) unto themG846, WheresoeverG3699 the bodyG4983 is, thitherG1563 willG4863 the eaglesG105 be gathered togetherG4863(G5701).
