1Jesus said <2036> to <4314> his <846> disciples <3101>, “Stumbling blocks <4625> are <1510> sure <418> <3361> to come <2064>, but <4133> woe <3759> to the one through <1223> whom <3739> they come <2064>!
2It would be better <3081> for him <846> to have a millstone <3037> <3457> tied <4029> around <4012> his <846> neck <5137> and <2532> be thrown <4496> into <1519> the sea <2281> than <2228> for him to cause <4624> one <1520> of these <5130> little ones <3398> to sin.
3Watch <4337> yourselves <1438>! If <1437> your <4675> brother <80> sins <264>, rebuke <2008> him <846>. If <1437> he repents <3340>, forgive <863> him <846>.
4Even if <1437> he sins <264> against <1519> you <4571> seven times <2034> in a day <2250>, and <2532> seven times <2034> returns <1994> to <4314> you <4571> saying <3004>, ‘I repent <3340>,’ you must forgive <863> him <846>.”
5The apostles <652> said <3004> to the Lord <2962>, “Increase <4369> our <2254> faith <4102>!”
6So <1161> the Lord <2962> replied <2036>, “If <1487> you had <2192> faith <4102> the size of a mustard <4615> seed <2848>, you could say <3004> to this <3778> black mulberry tree <4807>, ‘Be pulled out by the roots <1610> and <2532> planted <5452> in <1722> the sea <2281>,’ and <2532> it would obey <5219> you <5213>.
7“Would any one <5101> of <1537> you <5216> say to your slave <1401> who <3739> comes in <1525> from <1537> the field <68> after plowing <722> or <2228> shepherding sheep <4165>, ‘Come <3928> at once <2112> and sit down for a meal <377>’?
8Won’t <3780> the master instead <235> say <2046> to him <846>, ‘Get <2090> my dinner <1172> ready <2090>, and <2532> make <4024> yourself ready <4024> to serve <1247> me <3427> while <2193> I eat <5315> and <2532> drink <4095>. Then <2532> you <4771> may eat <5315> and <2532> drink <4095>’?
9He <2192> won’t <3361> thank <2192> <5485> the slave <1401> because <3754> he did <4160> what he was told <1299>, will he?
10So <3779> you <5210> too <2532>, when <3752> you have done <4160> everything <3956> you <5213> were commanded to do <1299>, should say <3004>, ‘We are <1510> slaves <1401> undeserving <888> of special praise; we have only done <4160> what <3739> was our duty <3784>.’”
11Now on <1722> the way <4198> to <1519> Jerusalem <2419>, Jesus <846> was passing along <1330> between <1223> <3319> Samaria <4540> and <2532> Galilee <1056>.
12As <1525> he <846> was entering <1525> a village <2968>, ten <1176> men <435> with leprosy <3015> met <528> him. They <3739> stood <450> at a distance <4207>,
13raised <142> their <846> voices <5456> and said <3004>, “Jesus <2424>, Master <1988>, have mercy <1653> on us <2248>.”
14When <2532> he saw <1492> them <846> he said <2036>, “Go <4198> and show <1925> yourselves <1438> to the priests <2409>.” And <2532> as <1722> they went along <5217>, they <846> were cleansed <2511>.
15Then one <1520> of <1537> them <846>, when he saw <1492> he was healed <2390>, turned back <5290>, praising <1392> God <2316> with <3326> a <5456> loud <3173> voice <5456>.
16He <2532> fell <4098> with <1909> his face <4383> to the ground at <3844> Jesus’ feet <4228> and thanked <2168> him <846>. (Now he <846> was <1510> a Samaritan <4541>.)
17Then <1161> Jesus <2424> said <611> <2036>, “Were <2511> not <3756> ten <1176> cleansed <2511>? Where <4226> are the other nine <1767>?
18Was no <3756> one found <2147> to turn back <5290> and give <1325> praise <1391> to God <2316> except <1487> <3361> this <3778> foreigner <241>?”
19Then <2532> he said <2036> to <846> the man <846>, “Get up <450> and go <4198> your way. Your <4675> faith <4102> has made <4982> you <4571> well <4982>.”
20Now at one point the Pharisees <5330> asked <1905> Jesus when <4219> the kingdom <932> of God <2316> was coming <2064>, so he answered <611>, “The kingdom <932> of God <2316> is <2064> not <3756> coming <2064> with <3326> signs to be observed <3907>,
21nor <3761> will they say <2046>, ‘Look <2400>, here <5602> it is!’ or <2228> ‘There <1563>!’ For <1063> indeed <2400>, the kingdom <932> of God <2316> is <1510> in <1787> your <5216> midst <1787>.”
22Then <1161> he said <2036> to <4314> the disciples <3101>, “The days <2250> are coming <2064> when <3753> you will desire <1937> to see <1492> one <1520> of the days <2250> of the Son <5207> of Man <444>, and <2532> you will <3700> not <3756> see <3700> it.
23Then <2532> people will say <2046> to you <5213>, ‘Look <2400>, there <1563> he is!’ or <2228> ‘Look <2400>, here <5602> he is!’ Do <565> not <3361> go out <565> or <3366> chase <1377> after them.
24For <1063> just like <5618> the lightning <796> flashes <797> and lights up <2989> the sky <3772> from <1519> one side to <5259> the other <3772>, so <3779> will <1510> the Son <5207> of Man <444> be in his day.
25But <1161> first <4412> he must <1163> suffer <3958> many things <4183> and <2532> be rejected <593> by <575> this <3778> generation <1074>.
26Just as <2531> it was <1096> in <1722> the days <2250> of Noah <3575>, so <3779> too <2532> it will be <1510> in <1722> the days <2250> of the Son <5207> of Man <444>.
27People were eating <2068>, they were drinking <4095>, they were marrying <1060>, they were being given in marriage <1061>– right up to <891> the day <2250> Noah <3575> entered <1525> the ark <2787>. Then <2532> the flood <2627> came <2064> and <2532> destroyed <622> them all <3956>.
28Likewise <3668>, just <2531> as it was <1096> in <1722> the days <2250> of Lot <3091>, people were eating <2068>, drinking <4095>, buying <59>, selling <4453>, planting <5452>, building <3618>;
29but <1161> on the day <2250> Lot <3091> went out <1831> from <575> Sodom <4670>, fire <4442> and <2532> sulfur <2303> rained down <1026> from <575> heaven <3772> and <2532> destroyed <622> them all <3956>.
30It will be <1510> the same on the day <2250> the Son <5207> of Man <444> is revealed <601>.
31On <1722> that <1565> day <2250>, anyone who <3739> is <1510> on <1909> the roof <1430>, with his <846> goods <4632> in <1722> the house <3614>, must <2597> not <3361> come down <2597> to take <142> them <846> away <142>, and <2532> likewise <3668> the person in <1722> the field <68> must <1994> not <3361> turn <1994> back <1519> <3694>.
32Remember <3421> Lot’s <3091> wife <1135>!
33Whoever <3739> <1437> tries <2212> to keep <4046> his <846> life <5590> will lose <622> it <846>, but <1161> whoever <3739> <302> loses <622> his life will preserve <2225> it <846>.
34I tell <3004> you <5213>, in that <3778> night <3571> there will be <1510> two <1417> people in <1909> one <1520> bed <2825>; one <1520> will be taken <3880> and <2532> the other <2087> left <863>.
35There will be <1510> two <1417> women grinding grain <229> together <1909> <846>; one <1520> will be taken <3880> and <1161> the other <2087> left <863>.”
37Then <2532> the disciples <611> said <3004> to him <846>, “Where <4226>, Lord <2962>?” He replied <2036> to them <846>, “Where <3699> the dead body <4983> is, there <1563> the vultures <105> will gather <1996>.”
