Chapter 17

  Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe [unto him], through whom they come!  

--

  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.  

--

  Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.  

--

  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.  

--

  And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.  

--

  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.  

--

  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?  

--

  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?  

--

  Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.  

--

  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.  

--

  And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.  

--

  And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:  

--

  And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.  

--

  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.  

--

  And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,  

--

  And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.  

--

  And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where [are] the nine?  

--

  There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.  

--

  And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.  

--

  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:  

--

  Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.  

--

  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].  

--

  And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after [them], nor follow [them].  

--

  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.  

--

  But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.  

--

  And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.  

--

  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.  

--

  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;  

--

  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all.  

--

  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.  

--

  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.  

--

  Remember Lot's wife.  

--

  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.  

--

  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.  

--

  Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  

--

  Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  

--

  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.
