¹Then He said to his disciples: "It is impossible that the stumbling blocks not come, but woe to him through whom they come!

²It is better for him if a stone of a mill is hung around his neck and he is thrown into the sea, than that he cause to stumble the little ones of these.

³Take heed to yourselves. Now if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he changes your heart, forgive him.

⁴And if seven times in the day he sins against you, and seven times in the day returns to you saying, 'I change your heart,' you will forgive him.

⁵And the sent ones said to the Lord, "Add trust to us!"

⁶Then the Lord said, "If you have trust like a grain of mustard, you would have spoken to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,' and it would have obeyed you.

⁷Now which of you, having a slave plowing or shepherding, will say to him when he has come in out of the field, 'Come immediately and recline'?

⁸But surely he will say to him, 'Prepare what I may eat, and gird yourself about and serve me while I eat and drink, and after these things you yourself will eat and drink.'

⁹He is not thankful to that slave because he did the things commanded to him, I think?

¹⁰Thus also you yourselves, when you have done all the things commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy Slaves; for that which we were obliged to do, we have done.'"

¹¹And it came to pass, in his going up to Jerusalem, that He himself was passing through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹²And as He was entering into a certain village, ten leprous men met with Him, who stood afar off.

¹³And they themselves lifted up their voice, saying, "Jesus, Master, have compassion on us."

¹⁴And when He had seen them, He said to them, "Having gone, show yourselves to the priests." And it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed.

¹⁵Then one of them, when he had seen that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,

¹⁶and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him; and he himself was a Samaritan.

¹⁷Then Jesus, having answered, said, "Surely the ten were cleansed? But where are the nine?

¹⁸Was none found having returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner only?"

¹⁹And He said to him, "Having risen up, go forth; your trust has cured you!"

²⁰Now when He had been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God is coming, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with careful observation,

²¹nor will they say, 'Behold, here!' or 'Behold, there!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst."

²²Then He said to the disciples, "Days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not behold it.

²³And they will say to you, 'Behold, there!' or 'Behold, here!' Do not go forth nor follow.

²⁴For as the lightning, flashing from the one end under the sky, shines to the other end under the sky, thus also will the Son of Man be in His day.

²⁵However, first it behooves Him to suffer many things and to be rejected by this generation.

²⁶And even as it came to pass in the days of Noah, thus will it be also in the days of the Son of Man:

²⁷they were eating, were drinking, were marrying, were being given in marriage, until that day Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all.

²⁸Likewise, even as it came to pass in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

²⁹then in that day Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed all.

³⁰According to these, will it be in that day the Son of Man is revealed.

³¹In that very day, the one who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, he should not come down to take them away; and the one in the field likewise, he should not return to the things back.

³²Remember the wife of Lot!

³³Whoever shall seek to gain his life will lose it, but whoever shall lose it will preserve it.

³⁴I say to you, in that night there will be two upon one bed: the one will be taken, and the other will be left.

³⁵There will be two women grinding at the same place: the one will be taken, and the other will be left.

³⁶Two in the field: one will be taken, and the other will be left.

³⁷And answering, they say to Him, "Where, Lord?" And He said to them, "Where the body is, there also the vultures will be gathered."
