- (Jesus) said to His - disciples , “ It is inevitable ... that - stumbling blocks will come , but woe ( to the one ) through whom they come !
It 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.
Watch yourselves. If your - brother sins , rebuke him ; and if he repents , forgive him.
Even if he sins against you seven times in a day , and seven times returns ... ... to say , ‘ I repent , ’ you must forgive him. ”
- The apostles said to the Lord , “ Increase our faith ! ”
And the Lord answered , “ If you have faith the size vvv of a mustard seed , vvv you can say to this - mulberry tree , ‘ Be uprooted and planted in the sea , ’ and vvv it will obey you.
- Which 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 ’ ?
Instead , vvv won’t he tell him , ‘ Prepare vvv my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink ; and afterward ... you may eat and drink ’?
Does he ... thank the servant because he did what he was told ?
So you also , when you have done everything ... commanded of you , should say , - ‘ We are unworthy servants ; we have only done vvv our duty .... ’”
While ... vvv vvv (Jesus) was on His way to Jerusalem , - He was passing vvv between Samaria and Galilee.
As He entered ... one of (the) villages , He was met by ten lepers .... (They) stood at a distance
and - raised (their) voices , shouting , “ Jesus , Master , have mercy on us ! ”
vvv When (Jesus) saw (them) , He said ... , “ Go , show yourselves to the priests. ” And as ... they - were on their way , they were cleansed.
When one of them saw that he was healed , he came back , praising - God in a loud voice.
- He fell vvv facedown at (Jesus’) - feet in thanksgiving to Him — and he was a Samaritan.
“ {Were} not (all) ten cleansed ? ” - - Jesus asked -. “ Where then are ... the (other) nine ?
Was no one found ... except ... this - foreigner to return (and) give glory - to God ? ”
Then (Jesus) said to him , “ Rise (and) go ; your - faith has made you well ... ! ”
- When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom - of God would come , (Jesus) replied ... ... ... , “ The kingdom - of God {will} not come with observable signs.
Nor will (people) say , ‘ Look , here (it is) , ’ or ‘ There (it is). ’ For you see , the kingdom - of God is in your midst. ”
Then 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 vvv you will not see (it).
- (People) will tell you , ‘ Look , there (He is) ! ’ or ‘ Look , here (He is) ! ’ {Do} not go out (or) chase after (them).
For 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.
But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this - generation.
Just as it was in the days of Noah , so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man :
(People) 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.
It was the same ... in the days of Lot : (People) were eating (and) drinking , buying (and) selling , planting (and) building.
But on the day Lot left ... Sodom , fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
It will be just like that ... ... on the day the Son - of Man is revealed.
On 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.
Whoever ... tries to save his - life will lose it , but whoever ... loses (his life) will preserve it.
I tell you , on that - night two (people) will be in one bed : - one will be taken and the other left.
Two (women) will be grinding grain vvv vvv together : - one will be taken and the other left.”
“ Where , Lord ? ” - they asked ... .... - - (Jesus) answered ... , “ Wherever (there is) a carcass , there - the vultures will gather. ”
