Temptations and Trespasses

1Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

The Power of Faith

5The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

7Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?

8Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you may eat and drink’?

9Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

The Ten Lepers

11While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers.They stood at a distance

13and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.”And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

The Coming of the Kingdom

20When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

23People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

25But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.

32Remember Lot’s wife!

33Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

37“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”

1And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come: but woe to him through whom they come.

2It were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones.

3Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him.

4And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying, I repent; forgive him.

5And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.

6And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou transplanted into the sea: and it would obey you.

7But which of you having a servant ploughing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go, sit down to meat:

8And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper, and gird thyself, and serve me, whilst I eat and drink, and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink?

9Doth he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him?

10I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.

11And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off;

13And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, master, have mercy on us.

14Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean.

15And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.

16And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan.

17And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine?

18There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.

19And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.

20And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come? he answered them, and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you.

22And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when you shall desire to see one day of the Son of man; and you shall not see it.

23And they will say to you: See here, and see there. Go ye not after, nor follow them:

24For as the lightening that lighteneth from under heaven, shineth unto the parts that are under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.

25But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.

26And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

27They did eat and drink, they married wives, and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark: and the flood came and destroyed them all.

28Likewise as it came to pass, in the days of Lot: they did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built.

29And in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.

31In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back.

32Remember Lot’s wife.

33Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it, shall preserve it.

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

35Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left: two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be keft.

36They answering, say to him: Where, Lord?

37Who said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles also be gathered together.
