Luke 17

HNV

MSG

1 He said to the talmidim, "It is impossible that occasions of stumbling should not come, but woe to him through whom they come!
1 He said to his disciples, "Hard trials and temptations are bound to come, but too bad for whoever brings them on!
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
2 Better to wear a millstone necklace and take a swim in the deep blue sea than give even one of these dear little ones a hard time!
3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
3 "Be alert. If you see your friend going wrong, correct him. If he responds, forgive him.
4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times turns again, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him."
4 Even if it's personal against you and repeated seven times through the day, and seven times he says, 'I'm sorry, I won't do it again,' forgive him."
5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
5 The apostles came up and said to the Master, "Give us more faith."
6 The Lord said, "If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, 'Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
6 But the Master said, "You don't need more faith. There is no 'more' or 'less' in faith. If you have a bare kernel of faith, say the size of a poppy seed, you could say to this sycamore tree, 'Go jump in the lake,' and it would do it.
7 But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down at the table,'
7 "Suppose one of you has a servant who comes in from plowing the field or tending the sheep. Would you take his coat, set the table, and say, 'Sit down and eat'?
8 and will not rather tell him, 'Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink?'
8 Wouldn't you be more likely to say, 'Prepare dinner; change your clothes and wait table for me until I've finished my coffee; then go to the kitchen and have your supper'?
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
9 Does the servant get special thanks for doing what's expected of him?
10 Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.'"
10 It's the same with you. When you've done everything expected of you, be matter-of-fact and say, 'The work is done. What we were told to do, we did.'"
11 It happened as he was on his way to Yerushalayim, that he was passing along the borders of Shomron and the Galil.
11 It happened that as he made his way toward Jerusalem, he crossed over the border between Samaria and Galilee.
12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood far away.
12 As he entered a village, ten men, all lepers, met him. They kept their distance
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, "Yeshua, Master, have mercy on us!"
13 but raised their voices, calling out, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
14 When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the Kohanim." It happened, as they went, they were cleansed.
14 Taking a good look at them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests."
15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
15 One of them, when he realized that he was healed, turned around and came back, shouting his gratitude, glorifying God.
16 He fell on his face at his feet, giving him thanks. He was a Shomroni.
16 He kneeled at Jesus' feet, so grateful. He couldn't thank him enough - and he was a Samaritan.
17 Yeshua answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
17 Jesus said, "Were not ten healed? Where are the nine?
18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?"
18 Can none be found to come back and give glory to God except this outsider?"
19 He said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."
19 Then he said to him, "Get up. On your way. Your faith has healed and saved you."
20 Being asked by the Perushim when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The kingdom of God doesn't come with observation;
20 Jesus, grilled by the Pharisees on when the kingdom of God would come, answered, "The kingdom of God doesn't come by counting the days on the calendar.
21 neither will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the kingdom of God is within you."
21 Nor when someone says, 'Look here!' or, 'There it is!' And why? Because God's kingdom is already among you."
22 He said to the talmidim, "The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
22 He went on to say to his disciples, "The days are coming when you are going to be desperately homesick for just a glimpse of one of the days of the Son of Man, and you won't see a thing.
23 They will tell you, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Don't go away, nor follow after them,
23 And they'll say to you, 'Look over there!' or, 'Look here!' Don't fall for any of that nonsense.
24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.
24 The arrival of the Son of Man is not something you go out to see. He simply comes.
25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
25 But first it's necessary that he suffer many things and be turned down by the people of today.
26 As it happened in the days of Noach, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.
26 "The time of the Son of Man will be just like the time of Noah -
27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noach entered into the teivah, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
27 everyone carrying on as usual, having a good time right up to the day Noah boarded the ship. They suspected nothing until the flood hit and swept everything away.
28 Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
28 "It was the same in the time of Lot - the people carrying on, having a good time, business as usual
29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sedom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.
29 right up to the day Lot walked out of Sodom and a firestorm swept down and burned everything to a crisp.
30 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
30 That's how it will be - sudden, total - when the Son of Man is revealed.
31 In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
31 "When the Day arrives and you're out working in the yard, don't run into the house to get anything. And if you're out in the field, don't go back and get your coat.
32 Remember Lot's wife!
32 Remember what happened to Lot's wife!
33 Whoever seeks to gain his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
33 If you grasp and cling to life on your terms, you'll lose it, but if you let that life go, you'll get life on God's terms.
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. The one will be taken, and the other will be left.
34 "On that Day, two men will be in the same boat fishing - one taken, the other left.
35 There will be two women grinding together. The one will be taken, and the other will be left."
35 Two women will be working in the same kitchen - one taken, the other left."
36
37 They answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together."
37 Trying to take all this in, the disciples said, "Master, where?" He told them, "Watch for the circling of the vultures. They'll spot the corpse first. The action will begin around my dead body."
