¹ Then he said to the disciples, It is impossible but that causes of sin will come: but woe [to him] by whom they come!² It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to fall into sin.³ Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother shall trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he shall repent forgive him.⁴ And if he shall trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day shall turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.⁵ And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.⁶ And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this sycamine-tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou 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 immediately, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to eat?⁸ And will not rather say to him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drank; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?⁹ Doth he thank that servant, because he did the things that were commanded him? I suppose not.¹⁰ So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all the things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which it was our duty to do.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that 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, who stood at a distance.¹³ And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.¹⁴ And when he saw [them], he said to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that as they were going, they were cleansed.¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,¹⁶ And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where [are] the nine?¹⁸ There are not found returning to give glory to God, save this stranger.¹⁹ And he said to him, Arise, depart: thy faith hath made thee whole.

²⁰ And when he was asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation.²¹ Neither will they say, Lo here! or lo there! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.²² And he said to his disciples, The days will come, when ye will desire to see one of the days of the son of man, and ye shall not see [it].²³ And they will say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after [them], nor follow them.²⁴ For as the lightning that lighteneth from the one [part] under heaven, shineth to the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.²⁵ But first he must suffer many things, 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 ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and the flood came, and destroyed them all.²⁸ Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;²⁹ But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all:³⁰ Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.³¹ In that day, he who shall be upon the house-top, and his furniture in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.³² Remember Lot's wife.³³ Whoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever shall lose his life, shall preserve it.³⁴ I tell you, in that night there will be two [men] in one bed; the one will be taken, and the other will be left.³⁵ Two [women] will be grinding together; the one will be taken, and the other left.³⁶ Two [men] will be in the field; the one will be taken, and the other left.³⁷ And they answered and said to him, Where Lord? And he said to them, Wherever the body [is], thither will the eagles be collected.
