Then said
he unto the disciples, It is
impossible but that offences will come: but woe
unto him, through whom they come!
02 It were better for him
that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and
he cast into the sea, than that he should offend
one of these little ones.
03 Take heed to yourselves:
If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him;
and if he repent, forgive him.
04 And if he trespass
against thee seven times in a day, and seven
times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I
repent; thou shalt forgive him.
05 And the apostles said unto the
Lord, Increase our faith.
06 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a
grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this
sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root,
and be thou planted in the sea; and it should
obey you.
07 But which of you, having
a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say
unto him by and by, when he is come from the
field, Go and sit down to meat?
08 And 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?
09 Doth he thank that
servant because he did the things that were
commanded him? I trow not.
10 So likewise ye, when ye
shall have done all those things which are
commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants:
we have done that which was our duty to do.
11 And it came to pass, as he went
to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of
Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as he entered into a certain village,
there met him ten men that were lepers, which
stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said,
Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew
yourselves unto the priests. And it
came to pass, that, as they went, they were
cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was
healed, turned back, and with a loud voice
glorified God,
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving
him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were
there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 There are not found that
returned to give glory to God, save this
stranger.

19 And he said unto him, Arise,
go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
20 And when he was demanded of the
Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come,
he answered them and said, The
kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say,
Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom
of God is within you.
22 And 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.
23 And they shall say to
you, See here; or, see there: go not after them,
nor follow them.
24 For as the lightning,
that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven,
shineth unto the other part under heaven; so
shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25 But first must he suffer
many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26 And as it was in the
days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of
the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they
drank, they married wives, they were given in
marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the
ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was
in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank,
they bought, they sold, they planted, they
builded;
29 But the same day that
Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and
brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in
the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that day, he which
shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the
house, let him not come down to take it away: and
he that is in the field, let him likewise not
return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
33 Whosoever shall seek to
save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall
lose his life shall preserve it.
34 I tell you, in that
night there shall be two men in one bed; the one
shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Two women shall be
grinding together; the one shall be taken, and
the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the
field; the one shall be taken, and the other
left.
37 And they answered and said unto
him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them,
Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles
be gathered together.
