Luke 17:1-37 CSB

[1] He said to his disciples, "Offenses will certainly 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 for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble. [3] Be on your guard. 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 comes back to you seven times, saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him." [5] The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith." [6] "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed," the Lord said, "you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you. [7] "Which one of you having a servant tending sheep or plowing will say to him when he comes in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down to eat'? [8] Instead, will he not tell him, 'Prepare something for me to eat, get ready, and serve me while I eat and drink; later you can eat and drink'? [9] Does he thank that servant because he did what was commanded? [10] In the same way, when you have done all that you were commanded, you should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we've only done our duty.'" [11] While traveling to Jerusalem, he passed between Samaria and Galilee. [12] As he entered a village, ten men with leprosy met him. They stood at a distance [13] and raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" [14] When he saw them, he told them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And while they were going, they were cleansed. [15] But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God. [16] He fell facedown at his feet, thanking him. And he was a Samaritan. [17] Then Jesus said, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? [18] Didn't any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?" [19] And he told him, "Get up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you." [20] When he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming with something observable; [21] no one will say, 'See here!' or 'There!' For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst." [22] Then he told the disciples, "The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you won't see it. [23] They will say to you, 'See there!' or 'See here!' Don't follow or run after them. [24] For as the lightning flashes from horizon to horizon and lights up the sky, so the Son of Man will be in his day. [25] But first it is necessary that he suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. [26] "Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man: [27] People went on eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage until the day Noah boarded the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. [28] It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot: People went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building. [29] But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all. [30] It will be like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed. [31] On that day, a man on the housetop, whose belongings are in the house, must not come down to get them. Likewise the man who is in the field must not turn back. [32] Remember Lot's wife! [33] Whoever tries to make his life secure will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. [34] I tell you, on that night two will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. [35] Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left." [37] "Where, Lord?" they asked him. He said to them, "Where the corpse is, there also the vultures will be gathered."
