1Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

2It 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.

3Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4And 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.

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.

33Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

34I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

35Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

37And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

Then said he vnto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come, but wo vnto him through whom they come.

2It were better for him that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and he cast into the Sea, then that he should offend one of these little ones.

3 Take heed to your selues: If thy brother trespasse against thee, rebuke him, and if he repent, forgiue him.

4And if hee trespasse against thee seuen times in a day, and seuen times in a day turne againe to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgiue him.

5And the Apostles said vnto the Lord, Increase our faith.

6And the Lord said, If yee had faith as a graine of mustard seede, yee might say vnto this Sycamine tree, Be thou plucked vp by the root, and be thou planted in the sea, & it should obey you.

7But which of you hauing a seruant plowing, or feeding cattell, will say vnto him by & by when he is come from the field, Goe and sit downe to meate?

8And will not rather say vnto him, Make ready wherewith I may suppe, and gird thy selfe, and serue me, till I haue eaten and drunken: and afterward thou shalt eate and drinke.

9Doeth he thanke that seruant, because hee did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

10So likewise ye, when ye shal haue done all those things which are commanded you, say, Wee are vnprofitable seruants: Wee haue done that which was our duety to doe.

11 And it came to passe, as he went to Hierusalem, that hee passed thorow the mids of Samaria and Galile.

12And as he entred into a certaine village, there met him tenne men that were lepers, which stood afarre off.

13And they lifted vp their voices, and said, Iesus master haue mercy on vs.

14And when he saw them, hee said vnto them, Goe shew your selues vnto the Priests. And it came to passe, that as they went, they were cleansed.

15And one of them when hee sawe that he was healed, turned backe, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16And fell downe on his face at his feet, giuing him thanks: and he was a Samaritane.

17And Iesus answering, said, Were there not ten cleansed, but where are the nine?

18There are not found that returned to giue glory to God, saue this stranger.

19And he said vnto him, Arise, go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole.

20 And when hee was demanded of the Pharises, when the kingdome of God should come, hee answered them, and said, The kingdome of God commeth not with obseruation.

21Neither shall they say, Loe here, or loe there: for behold, the kingdome of God is within you.

22And hee said vnto the disciples, The dayes will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the dayes of the Sonne of man, and ye shall not see it.

23And they shall say to you, See here, or see there: Goe not after them, nor follow them.

24For as the lightning that lighteneth out of the one part vnder heauen, shineth vnto the other part vnder heauen: so shall also the Sonne of man be in his day.

25But first must hee suffer many things, & be reiected of this generation.

26And as it was in the dayes of Noe: so shal it be also in the dayes of the Sonne of man.

27They did eate, they dranke, they married wiues, they were giuen in mariage, vntill the day that Noe entred into the arke: and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28Likewise also as it was in the dayes of Lot, they did eat, they dranke, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded:

29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodome, it rained fire and brimstone from heauen, & destroyed them all:

30Euen thus shall it bee in the day when the Sonne of man is reuealed.

31In that day he which shall be vpon the house top, and his stuffe in the house, let him not come downe to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not returne backe.

32Remember Lots wife.

33Whosoeuer shall seeke to saue his life, shall lose it, and whosoeuer shall lose his life, shall preserue it.

34I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shal be taken, the other shall be left.

35Two women shall bee grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

37And they answered, and said vnto him, Where, Lord? And he said vnto them,Wheresoeuer the body is, thither will the Eagles be gathered together.

 

1 He said to his disciples, "Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the person through whom they occur. 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. 3 Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, 'I am sorry,' you should forgive him." 5 And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith." 6 The Lord replied, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to (this) mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. 7 "Who among you would say to your servant who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, 'Come here immediately and take your place at table'? 8 Would he not rather say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink. You may eat and drink when I am finished'? 9 Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded? 10 So should it be with you. When you have done all you have been commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.'" 11 As he continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was entering a village, ten lepers met (him). They stood at a distance from him 13 and raised their voice, saying, "Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!" 14 And when he saw them, he said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." As they were going they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; 16 and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. 17 Jesus said in reply, "Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? 18 Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?" 19 Then he said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has saved you." 20 Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he said in reply, "The coming of the kingdom of God cannot be observed, 21 and no one will announce, 'Look, here it is,' or, 'There it is.' For behold, the kingdom of God is among you." 22 Then he said to his disciples, "The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. 23 There will be those who will say to you, 'Look, there he is,' (or) 'Look, here he is.' Do not go off, do not run in pursuit. 24 For just as lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be (in his day). 25 But first he must suffer greatly and be rejected by this generation. 26 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man; 27 they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Similarly, as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building; 29 on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from the sky to destroy them all. 30 So it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, a person who is on the housetop and whose belongings are in the house must not go down to get them, and likewise a person in the field must not return to what was left behind. 32 Remember the wife of Lot. 33 Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it. 34 I tell you, on that night there will be two people in one bed; one will be taken, the other left. 35 And there will be two women grinding meal together; one will be taken, the other left."

37 They said to him in reply, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather."

 

v 1-10. No doubt Jesus repeated lessons at various times and places. This is very similar to what Jesus taught His disciples on their way to Capernaum months before, recorded in Mt. 18, Mk. 9 and Lk. 9. Here, Luke is teaching about obligations to men and to God. We should be careful not to cause men to stumble. This is so serious He repeats it would be better for a millstone be fastened to one and be drowned. He also stresses unlimited forgiveness to one who repents.
The first responsibility to God is to have faith, and He repeated having faith as a mustard seed being powerful. The second responsibility toward God, v 7-10 is humble service and not expecting praise for things we are expected to do.
v 11-19. From 19:1, Mark 10:1 and Mt. 19:1 we see that Jesus had left Galilee, had passed through part of Samaria and was near the border of Samaria on the east side of the Jordan as He worked his way toward Jericho and Jerusalem. Ten lepers called to Him from a distance. He commanded them to show themselves to the priest as required in the Law, and they were healed on the way. Only the outcast Samaritan returned to thank Jesus and in faith, worship Him as God. The Jews were quick to accept His healing and miracles, but not willing to accept Him as Messiah.
v 20,21. Jesus had been preaching that the kingdom was at hand, so the Pharisees asked when it would be. He replied that they would not be able to recognize it, but it was already in their midst. He was there, all they needed was to accept Him.
v 22-25. Talking to just His disciples, Jesus foretold His second coming. 1. They would desire to see it but would not.  2. When the kingdom came, everyone would know it, not just a secret thing of the heart. 3. He must suffer before the kingdom comes 
v 26-29. In the day of Noah people went about their own things and were not prepared for the flood. Similarly, in the day of Lot, people were going about their own things. In neither case were they prepared for judgment.
v 30-33. People will also be taken by surprise when Christ comes, not at the Rapture but when He comes to establish His kingdom. They were to remember Lot’s wife and not delay or return for material possessions or they would be destroyed.
v 34-36. In some parts of the world it will be night, in others day. Thus is not the Rapture, the wicked will be caught away for judgment, and believers will remain to be in the kingdom.
v 37. The disciples questioned where the unsaved would be taken. Where bodies will be scattered, the fowls of heaven will eat, but without it being said, their souls will go to the place of torment, Hades, in the heart of the earth, to await judgment.
