1 Now he said to the disciples, It is inevitable for offenses not to come, but woe to him, through whom they come!
2 It is beneficial for him if a millstone rotated by a donkey encompassed around his neck, and he has been tossed into the sea, rather than that$ he should offend one of these little ones.
3 Take-heed° to yourselves; and if your brother sins at {i.e., against} you, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
4 And if he sins at {i.e., against} you seven-times in the day, and should return seven-times in the day, saying, I repent. You will be forgiving him.
5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Add more faith to us.
6 Now the Lord said, If you° have faith like a kernel of a mustard-seed, you° would have spoken to this mulberry fig tree, Be uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed$ you°.
7 But who out-of you° has a bondservant plowing or shepherding and after he entered in from the field and has passed-beside you, will immediately say to him, Lean-back at the table.
8 But will he not rather say to him, Prepare what I may dine on. And after you have girded yourself, serve me, until I eat and drink and you may eat and may drink after these things.
9 He does not have gratitude to that bondservant because he did$ the things which were commanded him, does he? I think not.
10 So also you°, whenever you° do$ all the things which were commanded to you°, say°, We are useless bondservants, because we have done$ what we ought to do. {Luk 17:11-37; Borders of Samaria and Galilee; Luk 18:1-14; early 30 AD; no parallels.}
11 And it happened, while$ he himself was traveling to Jerusalem, even he himself was going through the middle of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And while entering into a certain village, ten men who are lepers encountered him, who stood faraway from people.
13 and they themselves lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus, Master$, show-mercy on us.
14 And he saw them and said to them, After traveling back, show° yourselves to the priests. And it happened, while$ they were proceeding-away, they were cleansed.
15 Now one out-of them saw that he was healed and returned with a loud voice, glorifying God;
16 and he fell upon his face beside his feet, giving-thanks to him, and he himself was a Samaritan.
17 But Jesus answered and said, Were not the ten cleansed, but where are the nine?
18 Were not any found, except this immigrant, who returned to give glory to God?
19 And he said to him, After you have stood up, travel on. Your faith has cured you.
20 And he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God is coming, and he answered them and said, The kingdom of God is not coming with observation;
21 nor will they say, Behold, here! Or, behold there! For$ behold, the kingdom of God is within you°.
22 Now he said to the disciples, The days will be coming, when you° will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you° will not see it.
23 And they will say to you°, Behold here! Or behold there! Do° not go away, nor pursue them.
24 For$ just-like the lightning, the one flashing from the one end under heaven, and shines to the other end under heaven; so will the Son of Man be in his day.
25 But first it is essential for him to suffer many things and to be rejected$ away from this generation.
26 And just-as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
27 They were eating; they were drinking; they were marrying; they were being given-in-marriage, till which day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot; they were eating; they were drinking; they were buying; they were selling; they were planting; they were building;
29 but on the day which Lot went forth from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 According-to these things, it will be in the day which the Son of Man is revealed.
31 He who will be upon the housetop in that day, and has his goods in the house, let him not go-down to take them up, and the one who is in the field, likewise, let him not turn behind for them.
32 Remember° Lot’s wife. {Gen 19:26}
33 Whoever should seek to save his life will be losing it, and whoever loses it will be preserving it.
34 I say to you°, There will be two upon one bed in this night; the one will be taken and the other one will be left.
35 Two will be grinding at the same place; the one will be taken and the other one will be left.

37 And they answered and say to him, Where, Lord? Now he said to them, Where the body is, the vultures will also be gathered together there.
