1 - And he said unto the disciples, `It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but woe <FI>to him<Fi> 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 <FI>rather<Fi> 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 <FI>them<Fi> , 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 <FI>his<Fi> 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 <FI>it<Fi> ;
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 <FI>part<Fi> 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 <FI>is<Fi> , there will the eagles be gathered together.'
