Light-Giving (Luke) 17

 ¹Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible for offences not to come: but woe to him, through whom they come!

² It would be better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

³ Take heed to yourselves: If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

⁴ If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns again to you, saying, ‘I repent’; forgive him.”

⁵ The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith.’

⁶ And the Lord said, “If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this sycamine tree, ‘Be plucked up by the root, and be planted in the sea’; it will obey you.

⁷ But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say to him by and by, when he comes from the field, ‘Go and sit down to eat?’

⁸ Will you not rather say to him, ‘Make my meal ready, and gird yourself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunk; and afterward you will eat and drink?’

⁹ Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.

¹⁰ So likewise you, when you have done all those things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.’”

¹¹ And it came to pass, as He went to Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Circuit-District (Galilee).

¹² As He entered into a certain village, He met ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off:

¹³ They cried out, “I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), Master, have mercy on us.”

¹⁴ When He saw them, He said to them, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed!

¹⁵ One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

¹⁶ He fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks: and he was a Watch Mountainian (Samaritan).

¹⁷ I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) exclaimed, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

¹⁸ Only one returned to give glory to God, and he is a stranger.”

¹⁹ He said to him, “Arise, go your way: your faith has made you whole.”

²⁰ When The Separates (Pharisees) demanded He tell them when the Kingdom of God should come, he answered them by saying, “The Kingdom of God does not come in a form you can see:

²¹ Neither will they say, ‘It’s here!’ or ‘It’s there!’ for, behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.”

²² Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

²³ And they will say to you, ‘See here; or see there.’ Do not go after them, nor follow them.

²⁴ For as the lightning, that lights out of the one part under heaven and shines to the other part under heaven; so, will 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 Rest (Noah), so will 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 Rest (Noah) entered the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

²⁸ Likewise, as it was in the days of Covering (Lot), they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.

²⁹ But the same day that Covering (Lot) went out of Burning (Sodom), it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

³⁰ So it will be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

³¹ In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not go back.

³² Remember Covering’s (Lot’s) wife.

³³ Whosoever will seek to save his life will lose it; and whosoever will lose his life will 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, there the eagles will gather together.”
