note
1 Jesus said to his disciples:
“It is inevitable that there should be snares;
yet alas for him who is answerable for them!
2 It
would be good for him if he had been flung into the sea with
a mill-stone round his neck, rather than that he should prove a
snare to even one of these lowly ones. note
3 Be on your guard! If
your brother does wrong, reprove him; but, if he
repents, forgive him.
4 Even if he wrongs you
seven times a day, but turns to you every time
and says ‘I am sorry,’ you must forgive him.”
note
5 “Give us more faith,” said the Apostles to the
Master;
6 but the Master said:
“If your faith were only like a mustard-seed, you could say
to this mulberry tree ‘Be up-rooted and planted in the sea,’ and
it would obey you.
note
7 Which of you, if he had a servant ploughing,
or tending the sheep, would say to him, when he
came in from the fields, ‘Come at once and take your place
-- --
at table,
8 ’ instead of saying ‘Prepare my dinner, and then make
yourself ready and wait on me while I am eating and drinking,
and after that you shall eat and drink yourself’?
9 Does he feel
grateful to his servant for doing what he is told?
10 And so with
you—when you have done all that you have been told, still
say ‘We are but useless servants; we have done no more than
we ought to have done.’”
note
11 On the way to Jerusalem Jesus passed between
Samaria and Galilee. ⪆⪆
12 As he was entering
a village, ten lepers met him. Standing still,
some distance off,
13 they called out loudly:
“Jesus! Sir! pity us!”
14 When Jesus saw them, he said:
“Go and show yourselves to the priests.” note
15 And, as they were on their way, they were made clean. One of
them, finding he was cured, came back, praising God loudly,
and threw himself on his face at Jesus' feet,
16 thanking him for
what he had done; and this man was a Samaritan.
17 “Were not all the ten made clean?” exclaimed Jesus.
18 “But the nine—where are they? Were there none to come
back and praise God except this foreigner?
19 Get up,” he said to
him, “and go on your way. Your faith has delivered you.”
note
20 Being once asked by the Pharisees when the
Kingdom of God was to come, Jesus answered:
“The Kingdom of God does not come in a way
that admits of observation,
21 nor will people say ‘Look, here
it is!’ or ‘There it is!’; for the Kingdom of God is within
you! ⪆⪆
22 The day will come,” he said to his disciples,
“when you will long to see but one of the days of the Son of
Man, and will not see it.
23 People will say to you ‘There he
is!’ or ‘Here he is!’
24 Do not go and follow them. For, just
as lightning will lighten and flare from one side of the
heavens to the other, so will it be with the Son of Man.
25 But
first he must undergo much suffering, and he must be
rejected by the present generation.
26 As it was in the days
of Noah, so will it be again in the days of the Son of Man.
27 They were eating and drinking and marrying and being
married, up to the very day on which Noah entered the ark,
and then the flood came and destroyed them all. note
28 So, too, in
the days of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying,
selling, planting, building;
29 but, on the very day on which Lot
came out of Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from the skies
and destroyed them all.
30 It will be the same on the day
on which the Son of Man reveals himself.
31 On that day, if a
man is on his house-top and his goods in the house, he must
not go down to get them; nor again must one who is on the
-- --
farm turn back. note
32
33 Remember Lot's wife. Whoever is eager to
get the most out of his life will lose it; but whoever will lose it
shall preserve it.
34 On that night, I tell you, of two men upon
the same bed, one will be taken and the other left;
35 of two women
grinding together, one will be taken and the other left.”
37 “Where will it be, Master?” interposed the disciples.
“Where there is a body,” said Jesus, “‘there will the
vultures flock.’” note
