[1]And he said to his disciples, It cannot be but that offences come, but woe [to him] by whom they come!
[2]It would be [more] profitable for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should be a snare to one of these little ones.
[3]Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should repent, forgive him.
[4]And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times should return to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.
[5]And the apostles said to the Lord, Give more faith to us.
[6]But the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye had said to this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.
[7]But which of you [is there] who, having a bondman ploughing or shepherding, when he comes in out of the field, will say, Come and lie down immediately to table?
[8]But will he not say to him, Prepare what I shall sup on, and gird thyself and serve me that I may eat and drink; and after that *thou* shalt eat and drink?
[9]Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered? I judge not.
[10]Thus *ye* also, when ye shall have done all things that have been ordered you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen; we have done what it was our duty to do.
[11]And it came to pass as he was going up to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
[12]And as he entered into a certain village ten leprous men met him, who stood afar off.
[13]And they lifted up [their] voice saying, Jesus, Master, have compassion on us.
[14]And seeing [them] he said to them, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as they were going they were cleansed.
[15]And one of them, seeing that he was cured, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,
[16]and fell on [his] face at his feet giving him thanks: and *he* was a Samaritan.
[17]And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but the nine, where [are they]?
[18]There have not been found to return and give glory to God save this stranger.
[19]And he said to him, Rise up and go thy way: thy faith has made thee well.
[20]And having been asked by the Pharisees, When is the kingdom of God coming? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation;
[21]nor shall they say, Lo here, or, Lo there; for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.
[22]And he said to the disciples, Days are coming, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see [it].
[23]And they will say to you, Lo here, or Lo there; go not, nor follow [them].
[24]For as the lightning shines which lightens from [one end] under heaven to [the other end] under heaven, thus shall the Son of man be in his day.
[25]But first he must suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.
[26]And as it took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall it be in the days of the Son of man:
[27]they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all [of them];
[28]and in like manner as took place in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
[29]but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all [of them]:
[30]after this [manner] shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
[31]In that day, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
[32]Remember the wife of Lot.
[33]Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it.
[34]I say to you, In that night there shall be two [men] upon one bed; one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.
[35]Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.
[36][Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be seized and the other let go.]
[37]And answering they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together.
