| 1. | And he said unto the disciples, `It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but wo `to him' through whom they come; |
| 2. | it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble. |
| 3. | `Take heed to yourselves, and, if thy brother may sin in regard to thee, rebuke him, and if he may reform, forgive him, |
| 4. | and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.' |
| 5. | And the apostles said to the Lord, `Add to us faith;' |
| 6. | and the Lord said, `If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you. |
| 7. | `But, who is he of you -- having a servant ploughing or feeding -- who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come near, recline at meat? |
| 8. | but will not `rather' say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and having girded thyself about, minister to me, till I eat and drink, and after these things thou shalt eat and drink? |
| 9. | Hath he favour to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not. |
| 10. | `So also ye, when ye may have done all the things directed you, say -- We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do -- we have done.' |
| 11. | And it came to pass, in his going on to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee, |
| 12. | and he entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off, |
| 13. | and they lifted up the voice, saying, `Jesus, master, deal kindly with us;' |
| 14. | and having seen `them', he said to them, `Having gone on, shew yourselves to the priests;' and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed, |
| 15. | and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God, |
| 16. | and he fell upon `his' face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan. |
| 17. | And Jesus answering said, `Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine -- where? |
| 18. | There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;' |
| 19. | and he said to him, `Having risen, be going on, thy faith hath saved thee.' |
| 20. | And having been questioned by the Pharisees, when the reign of God doth come, he answered them, and said, `The reign of God doth not come with observation; |
| 21. | nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the reign of God is within you.' |
| 22. | And he said unto his disciples, `Days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not behold `it'; |
| 23. | and they shall say to you, Lo, here; or lo, there; ye may not go away, nor follow; |
| 24. | for as the lightning that is lightening out of the one `part' under heaven, to the other part under heaven doth shine, so shall be also the Son of Man in his day; |
| 25. | and first it behoveth him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation. |
| 26. | `And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man; |
| 27. | they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed all; |
| 28. | in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; |
| 29. | and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all. |
| 30. | `According to these things it shall be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed; |
| 31. | in that day, he who shall be on the house top, and his vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, let him not turn backward; |
| 32. | remember the wife of Lot. |
| 33. | Whoever may seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever may lose it, shall preserve it. |
| 34. | `I say to you, In that night, there shall be two men on one couch, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left; |
| 35. | two women shall be grinding at the same place together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left; |
| 36. | two men shall be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other left.' |
| 37. | And they answering say to him, `Where, sir?' and he said to them, `Where the body `is', there will the eagles be gathered together.' |
