17:7 “Would any one of you say 8 to your slave 9 who comes in from the field after plowing or shepherding sheep, ‘Come at once and sit down for a meal’? 10 17:8 Won’t 11 the master 12 instead say to him, ‘Get my dinner ready, and make yourself ready 13 to serve me while 14 I eat and drink. Then 15 you may eat and drink’? 17:9 He won’t thank the slave because he did what he was told, 16 will he? 17 17:10 So you too, when you have done everything you were commanded to do, should say, ‘We are slaves undeserving of special praise; 18 we have only done what was our duty.’” 19
17:11 Now on 20 the way to Jerusalem, 21 Jesus 22 was passing along 23 between Samaria and Galilee. 17:12 As 24 he was entering 25 a village, ten men with leprosy 26 met him. They 27 stood at a distance, 17:13 raised their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy 28 on us.” 17:14 When 29 he saw them he said, “Go 30 and show yourselves to the priests.” 31 And 32 as they went along, they were cleansed. 17:15 Then one of them, when he saw he was healed, turned back, praising 33 God with a loud voice. 17:16 He 34 fell with his face to the ground 35 at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. 36 (Now 37 he was a Samaritan.) 38 17:17 Then 39 Jesus said, 40 “Were 41 not ten cleansed? Where are the other 42 nine? 17:18 Was no one found to turn back and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 43 17:19 Then 44 he said to the man, 45 “Get up and go your way. Your faith has made you well.” 46
17:20 Now at one point 47 the Pharisees 48 asked Jesus 49 when the kingdom of God 50 was coming, so he answered, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs 51 to be observed, 17:21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is 52 in your midst.” 53
17:22 Then 54 he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days 55 of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 17:23 Then people 56 will say to you, ‘Look, there he is!’ 57 or ‘Look, here he is!’ Do not go out or chase after them. 58 17:24 For just like the lightning flashes 59 and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day. 60 17:25 But first he must 61 suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 17:26 Just 62 as it was 63 in the days of Noah, 64 so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man. 17:27 People 65 were eating, 66 they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage – right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then 67 the flood came and destroyed them all. 68 17:28 Likewise, just as it was 69 in the days of Lot, people 70 were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building; 17:29 but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. 71 17:30 It will be the same on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 17:31 On that day, anyone who is on the roof, 72 with his goods in the house, must not come down 73 to take them away, and likewise the person in the field must not turn back. 17:32 Remember Lot’s wife! 74 17:33 Whoever tries to keep 75 his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life 76 will preserve it. 17:34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 77 17:35 There will be two women grinding grain together; 78 one will be taken and the other left.”
17:36 [[EMPTY]] 7917:37 Then 80 the disciples 81 said 82 to him, “Where, 83 Lord?” He replied to them, “Where the dead body 84 is, there the vultures 85 will gather.” 86
