Bible: Luke 17:11-37
The Grateful Leper
17:11 Now on 1 the way to Jerusalem, 2 Jesus 3 was passing along 4 between Samaria and Galilee. 17:12 As 5 he was entering 6 a village, ten men with leprosy 7 met him. They 8 stood at a distance, 17:13 raised their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy 9 on us.” 17:14 When 10 he saw them he said, “Go 11 and show yourselves to the priests.” 12 And 13 as they went along, they were cleansed. 17:15 Then one of them, when he saw he was healed, turned back, praising 14 God with a loud voice. 17:16 He 15 fell with his face to the ground 16 at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. 17 (Now 18 he was a Samaritan.) 19 17:17 Then 20 Jesus said, 21 “Were 22 not ten cleansed? Where are the other 23 nine? 17:18 Was no one found to turn back and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 24 17:19 Then 25 he said to the man, 26 “Get up and go your way. Your faith has made you well.” 27
The Coming of the Kingdom
17:20 Now at one point 28 the Pharisees 29 asked Jesus 30 when the kingdom of God 31 was coming, so he answered, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs 32 to be observed, 17:21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is 33 in your midst.” 34
The Coming of the Son of Man
17:22 Then 35 he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days 36 of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 17:23 Then people 37 will say to you, ‘Look, there he is!’ 38 or ‘Look, here he is!’ Do not go out or chase after them. 39 17:24 For just like the lightning flashes 40 and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day. 41 17:25 But first he must 42 suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 17:26 Just 43 as it was 44 in the days of Noah, 45 so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man. 17:27 People 46 were eating, 47 they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage – right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then 48 the flood came and destroyed them all. 49 17:28 Likewise, just as it was 50 in the days of Lot, people 51 were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building; 17:29 but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. 52 17:30 It will be the same on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 17:31 On that day, anyone who is on the roof, 53 with his goods in the house, must not come down 54 to take them away, and likewise the person in the field must not turn back. 17:32 Remember Lot’s wife! 55 17:33 Whoever tries to keep 56 his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life 57 will preserve it. 17:34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 58 17:35 There will be two women grinding grain together; 59 one will be taken and the other left.”
