Luke 17:4-32
New American Standard Bible
5The apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith!'
6But the Lord said, 'If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would obey you.
7Now which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him after he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and recline at the table to eat’?
8On the contrary, will he not say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, and properly clothe yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; and afterward you may eat and drink’?
9He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he?
10So you too, when you do all the things which were commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’?'
11While He was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.
12And as He entered a village, ten men with leprosy who stood at a distance met Him;
13and they raised their voices, saying, 'Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!'
14When He saw them, He said to them, 'Go and show yourselves to the priests.' And as they were going, they were cleansed.
15Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,
16and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan.
17But Jesus responded and said, 'Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they?
18Was no one found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?'
19And He said to him, 'Stand up and go; your faith has made you well.'
20Now He was questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, and He answered them and said, 'The kingdom of God is not coming with signs that can be observed;
21nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.'
22And He said to the disciples, 'The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
23And they will say to you, ‘Look there,’ or, ‘Look here!’ Do not leave, and do not run after them.
24For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day.
25But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of Man:
27people were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, and they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, and they were building;
29but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
30It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
31On that day, the one who will be on the housetop, with his goods in the house, must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one in the field must not turn back.
32Remember Lot’s wife.
King James Version
5And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6And 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.
7But 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?
8And 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?
9Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
10So 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.
11And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14And 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.
15And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed but where are the nine
18There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
20And 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:
21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22And 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.
23And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24For 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.
25But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27They 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.
28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31In 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.
32Remember Lot's wife.
Christian Standard Bible
7"Which one of you having a servant tending sheep or plowing will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
8Instead, will he not tell him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, get ready, and serve me while I eat and drink; later you can eat and drink’?
9Does he thank that servant because he did what was commanded?
10In the same way, when you have done all that you were commanded, you should say, ‘We are worthless servants; we’ve only done our duty.’"
11While traveling to Jerusalem, he passed between Samaria and Galilee.
12As he entered a village, ten men with leprosy met him. They stood at a distance
13and raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
15But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God.
16He fell facedown at his feet, thanking him. And he was a Samaritan.
17Then Jesus said, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
18Didn’t any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?"
19And he told him, "Get up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you."
20Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming with something observable;
21no one will say, ‘See here!’ or ‘There!’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst."
22Then he told the disciples: "The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you won’t see it.
23They will say to you, ‘See there!’ or ‘See here!’ Don’t follow or run after them.
24For as the lightning flashes from horizon to horizon and lights up the sky, so the Son of Man will be in his day.
25But first it is necessary that he suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man:
27People went on eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day Noah boarded the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot: People went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building.
29But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all.
30It will be like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
31On that day, a man on the housetop, whose belongings are in the house, must not come down to get them. Likewise the man who is in the field must not turn back.
32Remember Lot’s wife!
New Living Translation
7When a servant comes in from plowing or taking care of sheep, does his master say, ‘Come in and eat with me’?
8No, he says, ‘Prepare my meal, put on your apron, and serve me while I eat. Then you can eat later.’
9And does the master thank the servant for doing what he was told to do? Of course not.
10In the same way, when you obey me you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.’'
11As Jesus continued on toward Jerusalem, he reached the border between Galilee and Samaria.
12As he entered a village there, ten men with leprosy stood at a distance,
13crying out, 'Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!'
15One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, 'Praise God!'
16He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan.
17Jesus asked, 'Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine?
18Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?'
19And Jesus said to the man, 'Stand up and go. Your faith has healed you. '
20One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, 'When will the Kingdom of God come?' Jesus replied, 'The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs.
21You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you. '
22Then he said to his disciples, 'The time is coming when you will long to see the day when the Son of Man returns, but you won’t see it.
23People will tell you, ‘Look, there is the Son of Man,’ or ‘Here he is,’ but don’t go out and follow them.
24For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so it will be on the day when the Son of Man comes.
25But first the Son of Man must suffer terribly and be rejected by this generation.
26When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day.
27In those days, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28And the world will be as it was in the days of Lot. People went about their daily business — eating and drinking, buying and selling, farming and building —
29until the morning Lot left Sodom. Then fire and burning sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30Yes, it will be ‘business as usual’ right up to the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
31On that day a person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. A person out in the field must not return home.
32Remember what happened to Lot’s wife!

6And the Lord said, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7"Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’?
8Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?

10So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’"
11On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee.
12And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance

20Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed,

27They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot — they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building,
29but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all —
30so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
31On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back.
32Remember Lot 's wife.
New International Version
7"Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’?
8Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’?
9Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do?
10So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’ "
11Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.
12As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance
13and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
15One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
16He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
17Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?
18Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?"
19Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."
20Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed,
21nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst."
22Then he said to his disciples, "The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
23People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them.
24For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other.
25But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man.

6So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
