1Then said heunto the disciples, It isimpossiblebut that offences will come: butwoeunto him, throughwhom they come!
2
It were better for himthat a millstone were hangedabouthisneck, and he castinto the sea, thanthat he should offendone of these little ones.
3
Take heed to yourselves: Ifthybrothertrespassagainstthee, rebukehim; andif he repent, forgivehim.
4Andif he trespassagainstthee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn againtothee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgivehim.
5And the apostlessaid unto the Lord, Increaseourfaith.
6And the Lordsaid, If ye hadfaithas a grain of mustard seed, ye mightsay unto thissycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou plantedin the sea; and it shouldobeyyou.
7Butwhichofyou, having a servantplowingor feeding cattle, will say unto himby and by, when he is comefrom the field, Go and sit down to meat?
8And will not rather say unto him, Make readywherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, andserveme, till I have eatenanddrunken; andafterwardthou shalt eatanddrink?
9
Doth hethankthatservantbecausehedid the things that were commandedhim? I trownot.
10Solikewiseye, whenye shall have doneall those things whicharecommandedyou, say, We areunprofitableservants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
11And it came topass, ashewenttoJerusalem, thathepassedthrough the midst of SamariaandGalilee.
12And as heenteredinto a certainvillage, there methimtenmen that were lepers, whichstood afar off:
13Andthey lifted up their voices, andsaid, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14And when he sawthem, he said unto them, Goshewyourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as theywent, they were cleansed.
15Andoneofthem, when he sawthat he was healed, turned back, andwith a loudvoiceglorifiedGod,
16And fell downonhisfaceathisfeet, givinghimthanks: andhewas a Samaritan.
17AndJesusansweringsaid, Were therenottencleansed?butwhere are the nine?
18
There arenotfound that returned to giveglory to God, savethisstranger.
19And he said unto him, Arise, go thyway: thyfaith hath madetheewhole.
20Andwhen he was demandedof the Pharisees, when the kingdomofGod should come, he answeredthemandsaid, The kingdomofGodcomethnotwithobservation:
21Neither shall they say, Lohere! or, lothere! for, behold, the kingdom of Godiswithinyou.
22And he saidunto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shalldesire to seeone of the days of the Son of man, and ye shallnotsee it.
23And they shall say to you, Seehere; or, seethere: gonotafter them, norfollow them.
24Foras the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part underheaven, shinethunto the other part underheaven; so shall also the Sonofmanbeinhisday.
25Butfirstmusthesuffer many things, and be rejectedofthisgeneration.
26Andas it wasin the days of Noe, so shall it bealsoin the days of the Son of man.
27
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the daythatNoeenteredinto the ark, and the floodcame, anddestroyed them all.
28Likewisealsoas it wasin the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29But the same day that Lotwent out ofSodom it rainedfireandbrimstonefromheaven, anddestroyed them all.
30Eventhus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31Inthatday, he which shall beupon the housetop, andhisstuffin the house, lethimnot come down to takeitaway: and he that is in the field, lethimlikewisenotreturnback.
