¹ And he said to his disciples, It is impossible but that stumbling-blocks will come; but woe to him through whom they come!

² It were better for him to have a millstone hung round his neck, and be cast into the sea, than to cause one of these little ones to fall away.

³ Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

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

⁵ And the apostles said to the Lord, Give us more faith.

⁶ But the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to this sycamine-tree, Be plucked up by the roots, and planted in the sea! and it would obey you.

⁷ And which of you having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he hath come in from the field, Come immediately and place thyself at table?

⁸ Will he not rather say to 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?

⁹ Doth he owe any thanks to that servant, because he did what was commanded?

¹⁰ So also do ye, when ye have done all that hath been commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were bound to do.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, that he was traveling on the confines of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten lepers, who stood afar off.

¹³ And they lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus, Master, have pity on us.

¹⁴ And when he saw them, he said to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

¹⁵ And one of them, perceiving that he was freed from his disease, turned back, giving glory to God with a loud voice;

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

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? Where are the nine?

¹⁸ Were there none found returning to give glory to God but this foreigner?

¹⁹ And he said to him, Rise and go; thy faith hath made thee well.

²⁰ And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not in such a manner as to be watched for;

²¹ nor will they say, Lo here! or there! for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.

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

²³ And they will say to you, Lo there! lo here! Go not away, and follow not.

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

²⁵ But first he must suffer much, and be rejected by this generation.

²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be also in the days of the Son of man.

²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

²⁸ In like manner, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

²⁹ but on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

³⁰ Thus will it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

³¹ In that day, let not him who is upon the house-top, and whose furniture is in the house, come down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not turn back.

³² Remember Lot’s wife.

³³ Whoever shall seek to save his life will lose it; and whoever shall lose it will preserve it.

³⁴ I tell you, In that night there will be two men on one bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left.

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

³⁷ And they answering say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there also will the eagles be gathered together.
