New Living TranslationNew International Version
1One day Jesus said to his disciples, “There will always be temptations to sin, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting!1Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.
2 It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin.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.
3 So watch yourselves! “If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive.3So watch yourselves. "If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them.
4 Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive.”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."
5The apostles said to the Lord, “Show us how to increase our faith.”5The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
6The Lord answered, “If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘May you be uprooted 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.
7 “When a servant comes in from plowing or taking care of sheep, does his master say, ‘Come in and eat with me’?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'?
8 No, he says, ‘Prepare my meal, put on your apron, and serve me while I eat. Then you can eat later.’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'?
9 And does the master thank the servant for doing what he was told to do? Of course not.9Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do?
10 In the same way, when you obey me you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.’” Ten Healed of Leprosy10So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.'"
11As Jesus continued on toward Jerusalem, he reached the border between Galilee and Samaria.11Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.
12As he entered a village there, ten men with leprosy stood at a distance,12As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance
13crying out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”13and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
14He looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy.14When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.
15One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God!”15One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
16He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan.16He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him--and he was a Samaritan.
17Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine?17Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?
18 Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”18Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?"
19And Jesus said to the man, “Stand up and go. Your faith has healed you. ” The Coming of the Kingdom19Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."
20One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will the Kingdom of God come?” Jesus replied, “The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs.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,
21 You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among 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 his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see the day when the Son of Man returns, but you won’t 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.
23 People will tell you, ‘Look, there is the Son of Man,’ or ‘Here he is,’ but don’t go out and follow them.23People will tell you, 'There he is!' or 'Here he is!' Do not go running off after them.
24 For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so it will be on the day when the Son of Man comes.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.
25 But first the Son of Man must suffer terribly and be rejected by this generation.25But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day.26"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
27 In those days, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat 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.
28 “And the world will be as it was in the days of Lot. People went about their daily business—eating and drinking, buying and selling, farming and building—28"It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29 until the morning Lot left Sodom. Then fire and burning sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.29But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 Yes, it will be ‘business as usual’ right up to the day when the Son of Man is revealed.30"It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
31 On that day a person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. A person out in the field must not return home.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.
32 Remember what happened to Lot’s wife!32Remember Lot's wife!
33 If you cling to your life, you will lose it, and if you let your life go, you will save it.33Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.
34 That night two people will be asleep in one bed; one will be taken, the other left.34I 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 flour together at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. ”35Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left."

37“Where will this happen, Lord?” the disciples asked. Jesus replied, “Just as the gathering of vultures shows there is a carcass nearby, so these signs indicate that the end is near.”37"Where, Lord?" they asked. He replied, "Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather."
