20法利赛人问耶稣：“上帝的国什么时候降临？” 耶稣回答说：“上帝国的降临并没有看得见的征兆。21所以没有人能说，‘上帝的国在这里’，或说，‘在那里’，因为上帝的国就在你们心里*。”22祂又对门徒说：“时候将到，你们将渴望见到人子降临的日子，可是你们却见不到。23有人将对你们说，‘看啊，祂在这里！’或说，‘看啊，祂在那里！’你们不要出去，也不要追随他们。24因为人子降临的时候必如划过长空的闪电，从天这边一直照亮到天那边。25但祂必须先受苦，被这个世代弃绝。26“人子降临时的情形将像挪亚的时代，27人们吃喝嫁娶，一直到挪亚进入方舟那天，洪水来了，毁灭了他们；28又像罗得的时代，人们吃喝、做买卖、耕地、盖房。29在罗得离开所多玛那天，烈火和硫磺从天而降，把他们全毁灭了。30“人子显现之日的情形也是如此。31那天，在自己屋顶上的，不要下来收拾行李；在田里工作的，也不要回家。32你们要记住罗得妻子的事。33想保全生命的，必丧失生命；丧失生命的，必保全生命。34我告诉你们，那天晚上，两个人睡在一张床上，一个将被接去，一个将被撇下；35两个女人一起推磨，一个将被接去，一个将被撇下；36两个人在田间，一个将被接去，一个将被撇下。*”37门徒问：“主啊，在哪里有这事呢？” 耶稣回答说：“尸体在哪里，秃鹰就会聚集在哪里。”

Temptations to Sin
1And he said to his disciples, “Temptations to sin* are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come!2It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.*3Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him,4and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
Increase Our Faith
5The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”6And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
Unworthy Servants
7“Will any one of you who has a servant* plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’?8Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly,* and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?9Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded?10So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants;* we have only done what was our duty.’”
Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers
11On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee.12And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,* who stood at a distance13and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”14When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed.15Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice;16and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan.17Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?18Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”19And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”*
The Coming of the Kingdom
20Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed,21nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”*22And he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.23And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them.24For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.*25But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.26Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.27They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.28Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building,29but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all—30so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.31On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back.32Remember Lot’s wife.33Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.34I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left.35There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”*37And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the corpse* is, there the vultures* will gather.”
