## Do All Which Jesus Commands 

###### 1
Now He said to His disciples, **"It is inevitable that stumbling blocks 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, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble. 

###### 3
Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 

###### 4
And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, 'I repent,' forgive him." 

###### 5
And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" 

###### 6
And the Lord said, **"If you have faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you.** 

###### 7
"But which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down to eat'? 

###### 8
But will he not say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat, and, clothing yourself _properly_, serve me while I eat and drink; and afterward you may eat and drink'? 

###### 9
Is he grateful to the slave because he did the things which were commanded? 

###### 10
In this way, you also, when you do all the things which are commanded of you, say, 'We are unworthy slaves; we have done _only_ that which we ought to have done.'" 

## Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers 

###### 11
And it happened that while He was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing through Samaria and Galilee. 

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

###### 13
And they raised 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."** And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed. 

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

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

###### 17
Then Jesus answered and said, **"Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine--where are they?** 

###### 18
Was there no one found who turned back to give glory to God, except this foreigner?" 

###### 19
And He said to him, **"Stand up and go; your faith has saved you."** 

###### 20
Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, **"The kingdom of God is not coming with _signs to be_ observed,** 

###### 21
nor will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'There!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst." 

## The Coming of the Son of Man 

###### 22
And He said to the disciples, **"The 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
And they will say to you, 'Look there! Look here!' Do not go away, and do not run after _them_. 

###### 24
For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of 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
And just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 

###### 27
they 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
It was the same as in the days of Lot--they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; 

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

###### 30
It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. 

###### 31
On that day, the one who is on 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
Remember Lot's wife. 

###### 33
Whoever seeks to keep his life 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
There will be two women grinding _grain_ at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left. 

###### 36
[**Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left."**] 

###### 37
And answering they *said to Him, "Where, Lord?" And He said to them, **"Where the body _is_, there also the vultures will be gathered."**
