Luke 17:1-21 ▼

1 And he said to the disciples, It is impossible there come not causes of offence: and woe, through whom they come!

2 It is profitable to him if the millstone of an ass were placed about his neck, and he cast into the sea, rather than he should offend one of these little ones.

3 Attend to yourselves: and if thy brother sin against thee, censure him; and if he should repent, let him go.

4 And if seven times in a day he sin against thee, and seven times in a day turn back to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt let him go.

5 And the sent said to the Lord, Add faith to us.

6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a kernel of mustard, said ye to this mulberry-tree, Be thou rooted up, and planted in the sea; and it had listened to you.

7 And which of you having a servant ploughing or feeding, who will say to him having come out of the field, Quickly having come, recline?

8 But will he not say to him, Prepare what I shall sup, and, being girded, serve me, till I eat and drink; and after these, thou mayest eat and drink?

9 He has no favor to that servant, for he did the things appointed. I think not.

10 So also ye, when ye do all appointed you, say, That we are useless servants: for what we ought to do, we have done.

11 And it was in his going to Jerusalem, and he came through the land of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And he coming to a certain town, ten leprous men met him, who stood far off:

13 And they lifted up the voice, saying, Jesus, faster, pity us.

14 And having seen, he said to them, Having gone, show yourselves to the priests. And it was in their retiring they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, having seen that he was healed, turned back, with a great voice honouring God.

16 And he fell upon the face at his feet, thanking him: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus having answered said, Were not ten cleansed? and where the nine?

18 They were not found returning to give glory to God, except this of another race.

19 And he said to him, Having risen, go: thy faith has saved thee.

20 And having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God comes, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation:

21 Neither shall they say, Behold here or, behold there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
