1THEN Jesus said to his disciples, "It is inevitable that there should be pitfalls, but alas for the man who is responsible for them!
2It would be better for that man to have a millstone hung round his neck and be thrown into the sea, than that he should trip up one of these little ones.
3So be careful how you live. If your brother offends you, take him to task about it, and if he is sorry, forgive him.
4Yes, if he wrongs you seven times in one day and turns to you and says, 'I am sorry' seven times, you must forgive him."
5And the apostles said to the Lord, "Give us more faith."
6And he replied, "If your faith were as big as a grain of mustardseed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Pull yourself up by the roots and plant yourself in the sea',and it would obey you!
7"If any of you has a servant ploughing or looking after the sheep, are you likely to say to him when he comes in from the fields, 'Come straight in and sit down to your meal'?
8Aren't you more likely to say, 'Get my supper ready: change your coat, and wait on me while I eat and drink: and then, when I've finished, you can have your meal'?
9Do you feel grateful to your servant for doing what you tell him? I don't think so.
10It is the same with yourselveswhen you have done everything that you are told to do, you can say, 'We are not much good as servants; we have only done what we ought to do.'"
11In the course of his journey to Jerusalem, Jesus crossed the boundary between Samaria and Galilee,
12and as he was approaching a village, ten lepers met him. They kept their distance
13but shouted out, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
14When Jesus saw them, he said, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And it happened that as they went on their way they were cured.
15One of their number, when he saw that he was healed, turned round and praised God at the top of his voice,
16and then fell on his face before Jesus and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan.
17And at this Jesus remarked, "Weren't there ten men cured? Where are the other nine?
18Is nobody going to turn and praise God, except this stranger?"
19And he said to the man, "Stand up now, and go on your way. It is your faith that has made you well"
20Later, he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he gave them this reply: "The kingdom of God never comes by looking for signs of it.
21Men cannot say, 'Look, here it is',or 'there it is',for the kingdom of God is inside you."
22Then he said to the disciples, "The time will come when you will long to see again a single day of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
23People will say to you, 'Look, there it is',or 'Look, here it is.' Stay where you are and don't follow them!
24For the day of the Son of Man will be like lightning flashing from one end of the sky to the other.
25But before that happens, he must go through much suffering and be utterly rejected by this generation.
26In the time of the coming of the Son of Man, life will be as it was in the days of Noah.
27People ate and drank, married and were given in marriage, right to the day when Noah entered the arkand then came the flood and destroyed them all.
28It will be just the same as it was in the days of Lot. People ate and drank, bought and sold, planted and built,
29but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30That is how it will be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
31When that day comes, the man who is on the roof of his home, with his goods inside it, must not come down to get them. And the man out in the fields must not turn back for anything.
32Remember what happened to Lot's wife.
33Whoever tries to keep his life safe will lose it, and the man who is prepared to lose his life will preserve it.
34I tell you, that night there will be two men in one bed; one man will be taken and the other will be left.
35Two women will be turning the grindingmill together; one will be taken and the other left."
37"But where, Lord?" they asked him. "Wherever there is a dead body, there the vultures will flock," he replied.
