- 1Jesus said to his disciples, "It is inevitable that offences will come, but woe to the person through whom they come!"
- 2It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and be thrown into the sea than to offend one of these little ones.
- 3“Watch yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.”
- 4Even if they sin against you 7 times in a single day, and each time they come back and say, 'I repent,' you must forgive them."
- 5The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
- 6The Lord replied, "If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Uproot yourself and plant yourself in the sea,' and it would obey you.
- 7“But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will immediately say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Go and sit down to eat’?”
- 8Of course not. You'd say, 'Get my dinner ready, then put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink. After that, you can eat and drink.'
- 9Would you thank the servant for doing what he was told to do? I don't think so.
- 10In the same way, when you have done everything you were commanded to do, say, 'We are unprofitable servants. We have only done our duty.'
- 11As Jesus was making his way to Jerusalem, he traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.
- 12When he entered a certain village, 10 men with leprosy met him. They kept their distance,
- 13but they called out loudly, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
- 14When he saw them, he said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.
- 15One of them, when he realized he was healed, turned back and glorified God with a loud voice.
- 16He fell facedown at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. And this man was a Samaritan.
- 17Jesus responded, "Weren't all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?"
- 18Were none found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner?
- 19Then he told the man, "Stand up and go on your way. Your faith has made you whole."
- 20Some Pharisees asked Jesus when the kingdom of God would come. He answered, "The kingdom of God doesn't arrive with visible signs you can point to.
- 21“Neither will they say, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ because, look, the kingdom of God is within you.”
- 22Then he said to his disciples, "The time is coming when you'll long to see even one of the days of the Son of Man, but you won't see it.
- 23People will tell you, 'Look, he's here!' or 'He's over there!' Don't chase after them or follow them.
- 24For just as lightning flashes from one part under heaven and lights up the sky to the other part under heaven, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
- 25But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
- 26When the Son of Man returns, it will be just like it was in the days of Noah.
- 27People were eating, drinking, and getting married right up until the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
- 28It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building—
- 29but on the very day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
- 30That's exactly how it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
- 31On that day, if you're on the rooftop, don't go back inside to grab your belongings. If you're out in the field, don't turn back for anything.
- 32Remember Lot's wife!
- 33Whoever seeks to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life will preserve it.
- 34I tell you, on that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left.
- 35“Two women will be grinding together. One will be taken, and the other will be left.”
- 36Two men will be in the field; one will be taken, and the other left.
- 37The disciples asked him, "Where, Lord?" He answered, "Wherever the body is, there the eagles will gather."
