17One day Jesus said to his disciples, "There will always be temptations to sin, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting!G1161G2036G4314G3101G2076G418G3361G4625G2064G1161G3759G1223G3739G2064 2It 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.G3081G846G1487G3458G3684G4029G4012G846G5137G2532G4496G1519G2281G2228G2443G4624G1520G5130G3398 3So watch yourselves! "If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive.G4337G1438G1161G1437G4675G80G264G1519G4571G2008G846G2532G1437G3340G863G846 4Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive."G2532G1437G264G1519G4571G2034G2250G2532G2034G2250G1994G1909G4571G3004G3340G863G846 5The apostles said to the Lord, "Show us how to increase our faith."G2532G652G2036G2962G4369G2254G4102 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 thrown into the sea,' and it would obey you!G1161G2962G2036G1487G2192G4102G5613G2848G4615G302G3004G5026G4807G1610G2532G5452G1722G2281G2532G302G5219G5213 7"When a servant comes in from plowing or taking care of sheep, does his master say, 'Come in and eat with me'?G1161G5101G1537G5216G2192G1401G722G2228G4165G2046G3739G2112G1525G1537G68G3928G377 8No, he says, 'Prepare my meal, put on your apron, and serve me while I eat. Then you can eat later.'G235G3780G2046G846G2090G5101G1172G2532G4024G1247G3427G2193G5315G2532G4095G2532G3326G5023G4771G5315G2532G4095 9And does the master thank the servant for doing what he was told to do? Of course not.G3361G2192G5485G1565G1401G3754G4160G1299G846G1380G3756 10In the same way, when you obey me you should say, 'We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.'"G3779G2532G5210G3752G4160G3956G1299G5213G3004G3754G2070G888G1401G3754G4160G3739G3784G4160 11As Jesus continued on toward Jerusalem, he reached the border between Galilee and Samaria.G2532G1096G1722G846G4198G1519G2419G2532G846G1330G1223G3319G4540G2532G1056 12As he entered a village there, ten lepers stood at a distance,G2532G846G1525G1519G5100G2968G528G846G1176G435G3015G3739G2476G4207 13crying out, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"G2532G846G142G5456G3004G2424G1988G1653G2248 14He looked at them and said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy.G2532G1492G2036G846G4198G1925G1438G2409G2532G1096G846G5217G1722G2511 15One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, "Praise God!"G1161G1520G1537G846G1492G3754G2390G5290G3326G3173G5456G1392G2316 16He fell to the ground at Jesus' feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan.G2532G4098G1909G4383G3844G846G4228G2168G846G2168G2532G846G2258G4541 17Jesus asked, "Didn't I heal ten men? Where are the other nine?G1161G2424G611G2036G2511G3780G1176G2511G1161G4226G1767 18Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?"G2147G3756G2147G5290G1325G1391G2316G1508G3778G241 19And Jesus said to the man, "Stand up and go. Your faith has healed you."G2532G2036G846G450G4198G4675G4102G4982G4571G4982 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.G1161G1905G5259G5330G4219G932G2316G2064G611G846G2532G2036G932G2316G2064G3756G3326G3907 21You won't be able to say, 'Here it is!' or 'It's over there!' For the Kingdom of God is already among you."G3761G2046G2400G5602G2228G2400G1563G1063G2400G932G2316G2076G1787G5216 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.G1161G2036G4314G3101G2250G2064G3753G1937G1492G3391G2250G5207G444G2532G3700G3756G3700 23People will tell you, 'Look, there is the Son of Man,' or 'Here he is,' but don't go out and follow them.G2532G2046G5213G2400G5602G2228G2400G1563G565G3361G565G3366G1377 24For 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.G1063G5618G796G797G1537G5259G3772G2989G1519G5259G3772G3779G2532G5207G444G2071G1722G846G2250 25But first the Son of Man must suffer terribly and be rejected by this generation.G1161G4412G1163G846G3958G4183G2532G593G575G5026G1074 26"When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah's day.G2532G2531G1096G1722G2250G3575G3779G2071G2532G1722G2250G5207G444 27In 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.G2068G4095G1060G1547G891G2250G3739G3575G1525G1519G2787G2532G2627G2064G2532G622G537 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—G3668G2532G5613G1096G1722G2250G3091G2068G4095G59G4453G5452G3618 29until the morning Lot left Sodom. Then fire and burning sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.G3739G1161G2250G3091G1831G575G4670G1026G4442G2532G2303G575G3772G2532G622G537 30Yes, it will be 'business as usual' right up to the day when the Son of Man is revealed.G2596G5024G2071G3739G2250G5207G444G601 31On 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.G1722G1565G2250G3739G2071G1909G1430G2532G846G4632G1722G3614G2597G3361G2597G142G846G142G2532G1722G68G1994G3668G3361G1994G1519G3694 32Remember what happened to Lot's wife!G3421G3091G1135 33If you cling to your life, you will lose it, and if you let your life go, you will save it.G3739G1437G2212G4982G846G5590G622G846G2532G3739G1437G622G846G2225G846 34That night two people will be asleep in one bed; one will be taken, the other left.G3004G5213G5026G3571G2071G1417G1909G3391G2825G1520G3880G2532G2087G863 35Two women will be grinding flour together at the mill; one will be taken, the other left."G1417G2071G229G846G1909G3391G3880G2532G2087G863 36G1417G2071G1722G68G1520G3880G2532G2087G863 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."G2532G611G3004G846G4226G2962G1161G2036G846G3699G4983G1563G4863G105G4863
18One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.G1161G3004G2532G3850G846G4314G1163G3842G4336G2532G3361G1573 2"There was a judge in a certain city," he said, "who neither feared God nor cared about people.G3004G2258G1722G5100G4172G5100G2923G5399G3361G2316G2532G3361G1788G444 3A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, 'Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.'G1161G2258G5503G1722G1565G4172G2532G2064G4314G846G3004G1556G3165G575G3450G476 4The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, 'I don't fear God or care about people,G2532G2309G3756G1909G5550G1161G5023G3326G2036G1722G1438G1499G5399G3756G2316G2532G3756G1788G444 5but this woman is driving me crazy. I'm going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!'"G1065G1223G5026G5503G3930G2873G3427G1556G846G3363G1519G5056G2064G5299G3165 6Then the Lord said, "Learn a lesson from this unjust judge.G1161G2962G2036G191G5101G93G2923G3004 7Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don't you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?G1161G1557G3364G2316G4160G1557G846G1588G3588G994G2250G2532G3571G4314G846G2532G3114G1909G846 8I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?"G3004G5213G3754G4160G1557G846G5034G1722G4133G687G5207G444G2064G2147G4102G1909G1093 9Then Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else.G1161G2036G2532G5026G3850G4314G5100G3588G3982G1909G1438G3754G1526G1342G2532G1848G3062 10"Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector.G1417G444G305G1519G2411G4336G1520G5330G2532G2087G5057 11The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: 'I thank you, God, that I am not a sinner like everyone else. For I don't cheat, I don't sin, and I don't commit adultery. I'm certainly not like that tax collector!G5330G2476G4336G5023G4314G1438G2316G2168G4671G3754G1510G3756G5618G3062G444G727G94G3432G2228G2532G5613G3778G5057 12I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.'G3522G1364G4521G586G3956G3745G2932 13"But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, 'O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.'G2532G5057G2476G3113G2309G3756G1869G3761G3788G1519G3772G235G5180G1519G846G4738G3004G2316G2433G3427G268 14I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."G3004G5213G3778G2597G1519G846G3624G1344G2228G1565G3754G3956G5312G1438G5013G1161G5013G1438G5312 15One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering him.G1161G4374G846G2532G1025G2443G680G846G1161G3101G1492G2008G846 16Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.G1161G2424G4341G846G2036G863G3813G2064G4314G3165G2532G2967G846G3361G1063G5108G2076G932G2316 17I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it."G281G3004G5213G3739G1209G3362G1209G932G2316G5613G3813G1525G3364G1525G1519G846 18Once a religious leader asked Jesus this question: "Good Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?"G2532G5100G758G1905G846G3004G18G1320G5101G4160G2816G166G2222 19"Why do you call me good?" Jesus asked him. "Only God is truly good.G1161G2424G2036G846G5101G3004G3165G18G3762G18G1508G1520G2316 20But to answer your question, you know the commandments: 'You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. Honor your father and mother.'"G1492G1785G3431G3361G3431G5407G3361G5407G2813G3361G2813G5576G3361G5576G5091G4675G3962G2532G4675G3384 21The man replied, "I've obeyed all these commandments since I was young."G1161G2036G3956G5023G5442G1537G3450G3503 22When Jesus heard his answer, he said, "There is still one thing you haven't done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."G1161G2424G191G5023G2036G846G2089G3007G4671G1520G4453G3956G3745G2192G2532G1239G4434G2532G2192G2344G1722G3772G2532G1204G190G3427 23But when the man heard this he became very sad, for he was very rich.G1161G191G5023G1096G4036G1063G2258G4970G4145 24When Jesus saw this, he said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!G1161G2424G1492G846G1096G4036G2036G4459G1423G1525G2192G5536G1525G1519G932G2316 25In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!"G1063G2076G2123G2574G1525G1223G4476G5168G2228G4145G1525G1519G932G2316 26Those who heard this said, "Then who in the world can be saved?"G1161G191G2036G5101G2532G1410G4982 27He replied, "What is impossible for people is possible with God."G1161G2036G102G3844G444G2076G1415G3844G2316 28Peter said, "We've left our homes to follow you."G1161G4074G2036G2400G2249G863G3956G2532G190G4671 29"Yes," Jesus replied, "and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,G1161G2036G846G281G3004G5213G3754G2076G3762G3739G863G3614G2228G1118G2228G80G2228G1135G2228G5043G1752G932G2316G1752 30will be repaid many times over in this life, and will have eternal life in the world to come."G3739G618G3364G618G4179G1722G5129G2540G2532G1722G165G2064G2222G166 31Taking the twelve disciples aside, Jesus said, "Listen, we're going up to Jerusalem, where all the predictions of the prophets concerning the Son of Man will come true.G1161G3880G1427G2036G4314G846G2400G305G1519G2414G2532G3956G1125G1223G4396G5207G444G5055 32He will be handed over to the Romans, and he will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit upon.G1063G3860G1484G2532G1702G2532G5195G2532G1716 33They will flog him with a whip and kill him, but on the third day he will rise again."G2532G3146G615G846G615G2532G5154G2250G450 34But they didn't understand any of this. The significance of his words was hidden from them, and they failed to grasp what he was talking about.G2532G846G4920G3762G5130G2532G5124G4487G2258G2928G575G846G2532G3756G1097G3004 35As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind beggar was sitting beside the road.G1161G1096G1722G846G1448G1519G2410G5100G5185G2521G3844G3598G4319 36When he heard the noise of a crowd going past, he asked what was happening.G1161G191G3793G1279G4441G5101G5124G1498 37They told him that Jesus the Nazarene was going by.G1161G518G846G3754G2424G3480G3928 38So he began shouting, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"G2532G994G3004G2424G5207G1138G1653G3165 39"Be quiet!" the people in front yelled at him. But he only shouted louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"G2532G4254G2008G846G2443G4623G1161G846G2896G4183G3123G5207G1138G1653G3165 40When Jesus heard him, he stopped and ordered that the man be brought to him. As the man came near, Jesus asked him,G1161G2424G2476G2753G846G71G4314G846G1161G846G1448G1905G846 41"What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord," he said, "I want to see!"G3004G5101G2309G4160G4671G1161G2036G2962G2443G308 42And Jesus said, "All right, receive your sight! Your faith has healed you."G2532G2424G2036G846G308G4675G4102G4982G4571 43Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus, praising God. And all who saw it praised God, too.G2532G3916G308G2532G190G846G1392G2316G2532G3956G2992G1492G1325G136G2316
