¹ And He said to the disciples, "It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but woe [to him] through whom they come;² it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.³ Take heed to yourselves, and if your brother may sin in regard to you, rebuke him, and if he may change his mind, forgive him,⁴ and if seven times in the day he may sin against you, and seven times in the day may return to you, saying, I change my mind, you will forgive him."⁵ And the apostles said to the LORD, "Add to us faith";⁶ and the LORD said, "If you had faith as a grain of mustard, you would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.⁷ But who is he of you—having a servant plowing or feeding—who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come, recline at once?⁸ But will not [rather] say to him, Prepare what I may dine, and having girded yourself around, minister to me, until I eat and drink, and after these things you will eat and drink?⁹ Does he have favor to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not.¹⁰ So also you, when you may have done all the things directed you, say, We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do we have done."

¹¹ And it came to pass, in His going on to Jerusalem, that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee,¹² and He entering into a certain village, there ten leprous men met Him, who stood far off,¹³ and they lifted up the voice, saying, "Jesus, Master, deal kindly with us";¹⁴ and having seen [them], He said to them, "Having gone on, show yourselves to the priests"; and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed,¹⁵ and one of them having seen that he was healed turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,¹⁶ and he fell on [his] face at His feet, giving thanks to Him, and he was a Samaritan.¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, "Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine—where?¹⁸ There were none found who turned back to give glory to God, except this foreigner";¹⁹ and He said to him, "Having risen, be going on, your faith has saved you."

²⁰ And having been questioned by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God comes, He answered them and said, "The Kingdom of God does not come with observation;²¹ nor will they say, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you."²² And He said to His 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];²³ and they will say to you, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; you may not go away, nor follow;²⁴ for as the lightning is flashing out of one [part] under the sky [and] shines to the other [part] under the sky, so will the Son of Man also be in His day;²⁵ and first it is necessary for Him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.²⁶ And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of Man;²⁷ they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the Ark, and the flood came, and destroyed all;²⁸ in like manner also, 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;²⁹ and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed all.³⁰ According to these things it will be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;³¹ in that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, do not let him come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, do not let him turn backward;³² remember the wife of Lot.³³ Whoever may seek to save his life, will lose it; and whoever may lose it, will preserve it.³⁴ I say to you, in that night there will be two [men] on one bed: one will be taken, and the other will be left;³⁵ two [women] will be grinding at the same place together: one will be taken, and the other will be left;³⁶ [[two [men] will be in the field: one will be taken, and the other left."]]³⁷ And they answering say to Him, "Where, Lord?" And He said to them, "Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together."
