1 Then said He to the disciples, It is impossible that
offences should not come: but wo to him by whom they
come.
2 It were better for him that a milstone were hung
about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than
that he should note cause one of these little ones to offend.
3 Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother trespass against
thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4 And
if he trespass against thee seven times a day, and seven
times in a day return to thee, saying, I repent; thou
shalt forgive him.
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord,
Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith
but as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this sycamine-tree,
Be thou rooted up and planted in the sea;
and it would obey you.
7 But which of you having a
servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, as
soon as he comes in from the field, Come hither and sit
down at table?
8 But will he not rather say to him, Get
ready note my supper, and gird thyself, and wait upon me,
till I have done note, and afterwards thou shalt eat and
drink.
9 Is he obliged to that servant for doing what he
was ordered?
10 I think not. So likewise ye, when ye
have done all things that were commanded you, say note
we are unprofitable servants, for we have done only what
we ought to do.
11 And note as He was going to Jerusalem, note He passed
through the midst of Samaria and Galilee;
12 and as He
entered into a certain village, there met Him ten men
that were lepers:
13 who stood at a distance, and note lifted
up their voice, saying, Jesus master, have pity on us.
14 And when He saw them, He said unto them, Go and
shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as
they were going, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them,
perceiving that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice
glorifying God:
16 and fell note prostrate at his feet, giving
Him thanks; and He was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus
answered and said, Were not all the ten cleansed? and
where are the other nine? note
18 Are there none note returning
to give glory to God, but this stranger?
19 And He said
to him, Arise, go thy way; thy faith hath saved thee.
20 And being asked by the pharisees, when the kingdom
of God should come, He answered note and said, the
-- --
kingdom of God cometh not with note observation.
21 Neither
shall they say, Behold it is here, or behold it is
there; for note the kingdom of God is note within you.
22 And
He said to the disciples, note the time will come, 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, Behold,
He is here, or behold He is there: but go not after them,
nor follow them.
24 For as the lightning which lightneth
from the one part note of heaven shineth to the other note note: so
also shall the Son of man be in his day.
25 But He must
suffer many things first, and be rejected by this generation.
26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it
be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They were
eating, drinking, marrying, and being married, till the
day that Noah went into the ark: and the flood came
and destroyed them all.
28 And as it was likewise in the
days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling,
planting, and building:
29 but the very day that Lot
went out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from
heaven and destroyed them all.
30 Thus shall it be in the
day that the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that day,
whoever shall be on the house-top, and his goods in the
house, let him not come down note into it to take them
away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not
return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever note shall
seek to save his life, shall lose it;
33 and whosoever note will
venture his life, shall preserve it. note
34 In that night there
shall be two in one bed; the one shall be taken and the
other note left:
35 two women shall be grinding together; the
one shall be taken and the other left:
36 two men shall be
in the field; the one shall be taken and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto Him, Where, Lord?
And He said to them, where the carcase is, there will
the eagles be gathered together.
