Luke 17, side by side

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

¹Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, 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.

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

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

³Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, 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.”

⁴And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

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

⁵And the apostles said unto 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.

⁶And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should 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’?

⁷But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

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’?

⁸And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹²And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

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

¹³And they lifted up their voices, and said, 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.

¹⁴And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

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

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

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

¹⁶And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

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

¹⁷And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

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

¹⁸There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

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

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

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

²⁰And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

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

²¹Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

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.

²²And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

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

²³And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow 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.

²⁴For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

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

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

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

²⁶And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also 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.

²⁷They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and 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.

²⁸Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

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

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

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

³⁰Even thus shall it be in the day when 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.

³¹In that day, he which shall be upon 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 return back.

³²Remember Lot’s wife!

³²Remember Lot’s wife.

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

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

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

³⁴I tell 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 will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

³⁵Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

³⁶

³⁶Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

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

³⁷And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
