1. Jesus said to his followers, "Things that cause people to sin will happen, but how terrible for the person who causes them to happen!
|
1. Then G1161 said G2036 he unto G4314 the G3588 disciples G3101 , It is G2076 impossible G418 but that G3361 offenses G4625 will come G2064 : but G1161 woe G3759 unto him, through G1223 whom G3739 they come G2064 !
|
|
2. It would be better for you to be thrown into the sea with a large stone around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to sin.
|
2. It were better G3081 for him G846 that G1487 a millstone G3458 G3684 were hanged G4029 about G4012 his G846 neck G5137 , and G2532 he cast G4496 into G1519 the G3588 sea G2281 , than G2228 that G2443 he should offend G4624 one G1520 of these G5130 little ones G3398 .
|
|
3. So be careful! "If another follower sins, warn him, and if he is sorry and stops sinning, forgive him.
|
3. Take heed G4337 to yourselves G1438 G1161 : If G1437 thy G4675 brother G80 trespass G264 against G1519 thee G4571 , rebuke G2008 him G846 ; and G2532 if G1437 he repent G3340 , forgive G863 him G846 .
|
|
4. If he sins against you seven times in one day and says that he is sorry each time, forgive him."
|
4. And G2532 if G1437 he trespass G264 against G1519 thee G4571 seven times G2034 in a day G2250 , and G2532 seven times G2034 in a day G2250 turn again G1994 to G1909 thee G4571 , saying G3004 , I repent G3340 ; thou shalt forgive G863 him G846 .
|
|
5. The apostles said to the Lord, "Give us more faith!"
|
5. And G2532 the G3588 apostles G652 said G2036 unto the G3588 Lord G2962 , Increase G4369 our G2254 faith G4102 .
|
|
6. The Lord said, "If your faith were the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Dig yourself up and plant yourself in the sea,' and it would obey you.
|
6. And G1161 the G3588 Lord G2962 said G2036 , If G1487 ye had G2192 faith G4102 as G5613 a grain G2848 of mustard seed G4615 , ye might say G3004 G302 unto this G5026 sycamine tree G4807 , Be thou plucked up by the root G1610 , and G2532 be thou planted G5452 in G1722 the G3588 sea G2281 ; and G2532 it should obey G5219 G302 you G5213 .
|
|
7. Suppose one of you has a servant who has been plowing the ground or caring for the sheep. When the servant comes in from working in the field, would you say, 'Come in and sit down to eat'?
|
7. But G1161 which G5101 of G1537 you G5216 , having G2192 a servant G1401 plowing G722 or G2228 feeding cattle G4165 , will say G2046 unto him by and by G2112 , when he is come G1525 from G1537 the G3588 field G68 , Go G3928 and sit down to meat G377 ?
|
|
8. No, you would say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat. Then get yourself ready and serve me. After I finish eating and drinking, you can eat.'
|
8. And G235 will not G3780 rather say G2046 unto him G846 , Make ready G2090 wherewith G5101 I may sup G1172 , and G2532 gird G4024 thyself, and serve G1247 me G3427 , till G2193 I have eaten G5315 and G2532 drunken G4095 ; and G2532 afterward G3326 G5023 thou G4771 shalt eat G5315 and G2532 drink G4095 ?
|
|
9. The servant does not get any special thanks for doing what his master commanded.
|
9. Doth he thank G2192 G3361 G5485 that G1565 servant G1401 because G3754 he did G4160 the things that were commanded G1299 him G846 ? I think G1380 not G3756 .
|
|
10. It is the same with you. When you have done everything you are told to do, you should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done the work we should do.'"
|
10. So likewise G3779 G2532 ye G5210 , when G3752 ye shall have done G4160 all G3956 those things which are commanded G1299 you G5213 , say G3004 , We are G2070 unprofitable G888 servants G1401 : we G3754 have done G4160 that which G3739 was our duty G3784 to do G4160 .
|
|
11. While Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, he was going through the area between Samaria and Galilee.
|
11. And G2532 it came to pass G1096 , as he G846 went G4198 to G1519 Jerusalem G2419 , that G2532 he G846 passed G1330 through G1223 the midst G3319 of Samaria G4540 and G2532 Galilee G1056 .
|
|
12. As he came into a small town, ten men who had a skin disease met him there. They did not come close to Jesus
|
12. And G2532 as he G846 entered G1525 into G1519 a certain G5100 village G2968 , there met G528 him G846 ten G1176 men G435 that were lepers G3015 , which G3739 stood G2476 afar off G4207 :
|
|
13. but called to him, "Jesus! Master! Have mercy on us!"
|
13. And G2532 they G846 lifted up G142 their voices G5456 , and said G3004 , Jesus G2424 , Master G1988 , have mercy G1653 on us G2248 .
|
|
14. When Jesus saw the men, he said, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." As the ten men were going, they were healed.
|
14. And G2532 when he saw G1492 them, he said G2036 unto them G846 , Go G4198 show G1925 yourselves G1438 unto the G3588 priests G2409 . And G2532 it came to pass G1096 , that , as they G846 went G5217 , they were cleansed G2511 .
|
|
15. When one of them saw that he was healed, he went back to Jesus, praising God in a loud voice.
|
15. And G1161 one G1520 of G1537 them G846 , when he saw G1492 that G3754 he was healed G2390 , turned back G5290 , and with G3326 a loud G3173 voice G5456 glorified G1392 God G2316 ,
|
|
16. Then he bowed down at Jesus' feet and thanked him. (And this man was a Samaritan.)
|
16. And G2532 fell down G4098 on G1909 his face G4383 at G3844 his G846 feet G4228 , giving him thanks G2168 G846 : and G2532 he G846 was G2258 a Samaritan G4541 .
|
|
17. Jesus said, "Weren't ten men healed? Where are the other nine?
|
17. And G1161 Jesus G2424 answering G611 said G2036 , Were there not G3780 ten G1176 cleansed G2511 ? but G1161 where G4226 are the G3588 nine G1767 ?
|
|
18. Is this Samaritan the only one who came back to thank God?"
|
18. There are not G3756 found G2147 that returned G5290 to give G1325 glory G1391 to God G2316 , save G1508 this G3778 stranger G241 .
|
|
19. Then Jesus said to him, "Stand up and go on your way. You were healed because you believed."
|
19. And G2532 he said G2036 unto him G846 , Arise G450 , go thy way G4198 : thy G4675 faith G4102 hath made thee whole G4982 G4571 .
|
|
20. Some of the Pharisees asked Jesus, "When will the kingdom of God come?" Jesus answered, "God's kingdom is coming, but not in a way that you will be able to see with your eyes.
|
20. And G1161 when he was demanded G1905 of G5259 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 , when G4219 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 should come G2064 , he answered G611 them G846 and G2532 said G2036 , The G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 cometh G2064 not G3756 with G3326 observation G3907 :
|
|
21. People will not say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' because God's kingdom is withinn you."
|
21. Neither G3761 shall they say G2046 , Lo G2400 here G5602 ! or G2228 , lo G2400 there G1563 ! for G1063 , behold G2400 , the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 is G2076 within G1787 you G5216 .
|
|
22. Then Jesus said to his followers, "The time will come when you will want very much to see one of the days of the Son of Man. But you will not see it.
|
22. And G1161 he said G2036 unto G4314 the G3588 disciples G3101 , The days G2250 will come G2064 , when G3753 ye shall desire G1937 to see G1492 one G3391 of the G3588 days G2250 of the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 , and G2532 ye shall not G3756 see G3700 it.
|
|
23. People will say to you, 'Look, there he is!' or, 'Look, here he is!' Stay where you are; don't go away and search.
|
23. And G2532 they shall say G2046 to you G5213 , See G2400 here G5602 ; or G2228 , see G2400 there G1563 : go not after G565 G3361 them, nor G3366 follow G1377 them.
|
|
24. When the Son of Man comes again, he will shine like lightning, which flashes across the sky and lights it up from one side to the other.
|
24. For G1063 as G5618 the G3588 lightning G796 , that lighteneth G797 out G1537 of the one G3588 part under G5259 heaven G3772 , shineth G2989 unto G1519 the other G3588 part under G5259 heaven G3772 ; so G3779 shall also G2532 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 be G2071 in G1722 his G848 day G2250 .
|
|
25. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by the people of this time.
|
25. But G1161 first G4412 must G1163 he G846 suffer G3958 many things G4183 , and G2532 be rejected G593 of G575 this G5026 generation G1074 .
|
|
26. When the Son of Man comes again, it will be as it was when Noah lived.
|
26. And G2532 as G2531 it was G1096 in G1722 the G3588 days G2250 of Noah G3575 , so G3779 shall it be G2071 also G2532 in G1722 the G3588 days G2250 of the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 .
|
|
27. People were eating, drinking, marrying, and giving their children to be married until the day Noah entered the boat. Then the flood came and killed them all.
|
27. They did eat G2068 , they drank G4095 , they married wives G1060 , they were given in marriage G1547 , until G891 the G3739 day G2250 that Noah G3575 entered G1525 into G1519 the G3588 ark G2787 , and G2532 the G3588 flood G2627 came G2064 , and G2532 destroyed G622 them all G537 .
|
|
28. It will be the same as during the time of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building.
|
28. Likewise G3668 also G2532 as G5613 it was G1096 in G1722 the G3588 days G2250 of Lot G3091 ; they did eat G2068 , they drank G4095 , they bought G59 , they sold G4453 , they planted G5452 , they builded G3618 ;
|
|
29. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from the sky and killed them all.
|
29. But G1161 the same G3739 day G2250 that Lot G3091 went out G1831 of G575 Sodom G4670 it rained G1026 fire G4442 and G2532 brimstone G2303 from G575 heaven G3772 , and G2532 destroyed G622 them all G537 .
|
|
30. This is how it will be when the Son of Man comes again.
|
30. Even thus G2596 G5024 shall it be G2071 in the G3739 day G2250 when the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 is revealed G601 .
|
|
31. On that day, a person who is on the roof and whose belongings are in the house should not go inside to get them. A person who is in the field should not go back home.
|
31. In G1722 that G1565 day G2250 , he which G3739 shall be G2071 upon G1909 the G3588 housetop G1430 , and G2532 his G846 stuff G4632 in G1722 the G3588 house G3614 , let him not G3361 come down G2597 to take it away G142 G846 : and G2532 he G3588 that is in G1722 the G3588 field G68 , let him likewise G3668 not G3361 return G1994 back G1519 G3694 .
|
|
32. Remember Lot's wife.
|
32. Remember G3421 Lot G3091 's wife G1135 .
|
|
33. Those who try to keep their lives will lose them. But those who give up their lives will save them.
|
33. Whosoever G3739 G1437 shall seek G2212 to save G4982 his G848 life G5590 shall lose G622 it G846 ; and G2532 whosoever G3739 G1437 shall lose G622 his G848 life shall preserve G2225 it G846 .
|
|
34. I tell you, on that night two people will be sleeping in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.
|
34. I tell G3004 you G5213 , in that G5026 night G3571 there shall be G2071 two G1417 men in G1909 one G3391 bed G2825 ; the G3588 one G1520 shall be taken G3880 , and G2532 the G3588 other G2087 shall be left G863 .
|
|
35. There will be two women grinding grain together; one will be taken, and the other will be left."
|
35. Two G1417 women shall be G2071 grinding G229 together G1909 G846 ; the G3588 one G3391 shall be taken G3880 , and G2532 the G3588 other G2087 left G863 .
