Jesus Warns of Offenses

Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no [a]offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!

1

Temptations to Sin

And he said to his disciples, “Temptations to sina are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should [b]offend one of these little ones.

2

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.b

3

Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins [c]against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

3

Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him,

4

And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns [d]to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”

4

and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5

Faith and Duty

And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

5

Increase Our Faith

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6

So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

6

And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

7

And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?

7

Unworthy Servants

“Will any one of you who has a servantc plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’?

8

But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’?

8

Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly,d and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?

9

Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded [e]him? I think not.

9

Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded?

10

So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ ”

10

So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants;e we have only done what was our duty.’”

11

Ten Lepers Cleansed

Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

11

Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers

On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee.

12

Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.

12

And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,f who stood at a distance

13

And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

13

and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”

14

So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.

14

When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed.

15

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

15

Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice;

16

and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

16

and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan.

17

So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

17

Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?

18

Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”

18

Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”

19

And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

19

And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”g

20

The Coming of the Kingdom

Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed,

21

nor will they say, [f]‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is [g]within you.”

21

nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”h

22

Then 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.

22

And he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

23

And they will say to you, [h]‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them.

23

And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them.

24

For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.

24

For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.i

25

But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

30

Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

“In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his [i]goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back.

31

On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back.

32

Remember Lot’s wife.
