Luke 17 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Luk 17:1And he said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come; but woe unto him, through whom they come!
Luk 17:2It were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Luk 17:3Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Luk 17:4And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Luk 17:5And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
Luk 17:6And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
Luk 17:7But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat;
Luk 17:8and 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?
Luk 17:9Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded?
Luk 17:10Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do.

Ten Lepers Cleansed

Luk 17:11And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
Luk 17:12And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off:
Luk 17:13and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
Luk 17:14And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed.
Luk 17:15And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God;
Luk 17:16and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
Luk 17:17And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
Luk 17:18Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?
Luk 17:19And he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Luk 17:20And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.

Second Coming Foretold

Luk 17:22And 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.
Luk 17:23And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after them:
Luk 17:24for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.
Luk 17:25But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.
Luk 17:26And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Luk 17:27They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:28Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Luk 17:29but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:
Luk 17:30after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
Luk 17:31In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back.
Luk 17:32Remember Lot’s wife.

Luk 17:37And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body is, thither will the eagles also be gathered together.
