Jesus said to his disciples, “It is impossible for temptations to be completely avoided, but woe to the one through whom they come!
It would be better for that person to have a large millstone hung around the neck and be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Be on your guard! If your brother or sister sins, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them.
Even if they sin against you seven times in one day and come back to you seven times saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
The Lord replied, “If you had faith as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
“Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will you say to the servant when they come in from the field, ‘Come right in and sit down to eat’?
Instead, won’t you say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready, and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’?
Do you thank the servant because they did what was commanded?
So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”
On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.
As he entered a village, ten men with leprosy met him. They stood at a distance
and called out loudly, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
When he saw them, he said, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were made clean.
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
Jesus asked, “Were not all ten made clean? Where are the other nine?
Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”
Then he said to him, “Get up and go; your faith has made you well.”
Once, the Pharisees asked Jesus when the kingdom of God would come. He replied, “The kingdom of God is not something that can be observed,
nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
Then he said to his disciples, “The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
People will say to you, ‘Look, there he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running after them.
For the Son of Man will be like lightning that flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other.
But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man:
People 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.
It was the same in the days of Lot: people were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
On that day, let no one on the housetop, with belongings inside, go down to get them. Likewise, let no one in the field go back for anything.
Remember Lot’s wife!
Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.
I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.
Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.”
They asked him, “Where, Lord?” He replied, “Where the body is, there the vultures will gather.”
