New King James VersionNew International Version
1Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!1Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.
2It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.2It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.3So watch yourselves. "If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them.
4And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”4Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying 'I repent,' you must forgive them."
5And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”5The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
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.6He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.
7And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?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'?
8But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’?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'?
9Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.9Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do?
10So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty 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 it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.11Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.

14So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.14When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.
15And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,15One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
16and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.16He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him--and he was a Samaritan.
17So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?17Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?
18Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”18Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?"
19And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”19Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."
20Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation;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 they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”21nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is in your midst."
22Then 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.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.
23And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them.23People will tell you, 'There he is!' or 'Here he is!' Do not go running off after them.
24For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.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.

27They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.27People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;28"It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.29But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

31“In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back.31On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.
