- Kapitel 17 -

(Matthew 18:6–9; Mark 9:42–48)
1
Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
2
It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3
Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4
Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

The Power of Faith

(Matthew 17:19–20)
5
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
6
And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.
7
Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
8
Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink; and afterward you may eat and drink’?
9
Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?
10
So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

The Ten Lepers

(2 Kings 5:1–14)
11
While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.
12
As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers.(a) They stood at a distance
13
and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14
When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.”(b) And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.
15
When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.
16
He fell facedown at Jesusfeet in thanksgiving to Himand he was a Samaritan.
17
Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?
18
Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”
19
Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!(c)

The Coming of the Kingdom

(Genesis 19:24–29)
20
When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.
21
Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ orThere it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.(d)
22
Then He said to the 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.
23
People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ orLook, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.
24
For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.
25
But 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:
27
People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28
It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29
But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30
It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
31
On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.
32
Remember Lot’s wife!
33
Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
34
I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: One will be taken and the other left.
35
Two women will be grinding grain together: One will be taken and the other left.”(e)
37
Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”

1
He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
2
It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3
Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
4
If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”

The Power of Faith

(Matthew 17:19–20)
5
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
6
The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7
But who is there among 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’?
8
Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
9
Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
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.’”

The Ten Lepers

(2 Kings 5:1–14)
11
As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
12
As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
13
They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14
When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
15
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
16
He fell on his face at Jesusfeet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
17
Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18
Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
19
Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”

The Coming of the Kingdom

(Genesis 19:24–29)
20
Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;
21
neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
22
He said to the disciples, “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.
23
They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,
24
for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
25
But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26
As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
27
They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28
Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29
but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all.
30
It will be the same way in the day that 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.
32
Remember Lot’s wife!
33
Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
34
I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left.
35
There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.”

They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.”
