1 And he said unto the disciples, `It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but wo `to him' 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 `rather' 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 `them', 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 `his' 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 `it';

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 `part' 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 `is', there will the eagles be gathered together.'
