Luke 17:11–37

Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers

¹¹And it happened that while He was ^aon the way to Jerusalem, ^bHe was passing through Samaria and Galilee.

¹²And as He entered a village, ten leprous men who ^astood at a distance met Him.

¹³And they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, ^aMaster, have mercy on us!”

¹⁴When He saw them, He said to them, “^aGo and show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed.

¹⁵Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, ^aglorifying God with a loud voice,

¹⁶and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a ^aSamaritan.

¹⁷Then Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they?

¹⁸“¹Was there no one found who turned back to ^agive glory to God, except this foreigner?”

¹⁹And He said to him, “Stand up and go; ^ayour faith has ¹saved you.”

²⁰Now having been questioned by the Pharisees ^aas to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with ^1bsigns to be observed,

²¹nor will ^athey say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘There!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

The Coming of the Son of Man

²²And He said to the disciples, “^aThe days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

²³“^aAnd they will say to you, ‘Look there! Look here!’ Do not go away, and do not run after them.

²⁴“^aFor just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part ¹of the sky, shines to the other part ²of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day.

²⁵“^aBut first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

²⁶“^aAnd just as it was ^bin the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

²⁷they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

²⁸“¹It was the same as in ^athe days of Lot—they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

²⁹but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and ¹brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

³⁰“It will be ¹just the same on the day that the Son of Man ^ais revealed.

³¹“On that day, the one who is ^aon the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not go down to take them out, and likewise the one who is in the field must not turn back.

³²“^aRemember Lot’s wife.

³³“^aWhoever seeks to keep his ¹life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.

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

³⁵“^aThere will be two women grinding grain at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left.

^361a[“Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left.”]

³⁷And answering they ^*said to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “^aWhere the body is, there also the ¹vultures will be gathered.”
