Disciples

"forgive seventy times seven"

 

17:1 And he said to the disciples of him: Impossible it is the offences not to come, but woe to him through whom they come; 2. It profits him if a millstone is put round the neck of him and he has been thrown into the sea, than that he should offend little of these one. 3 Take heed to yourselves. If sins the brother of thee, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if seven times of in the day he sins against thee and seven times turns to thee saying: I repent, thou shalt forgive him. 5 And said the apostles to the Lord: Add to us faith. 6 And said the Lord: If ye have faith as a grain of mustard,

ye would have said - sycamine-tree to this: Be thou uprooted and be thou planted in the sea; and it would have obeyed you. 7 who But of you a slave having ploughing or herding. who on his coming out of the farm will say to him: Immediately going up recline 8 but will not say to him: Prepare something I may dine, and having girded thyself serve me until I eat and drink, and after these things eat and drink thou? 9 Not he has thanks to the slave because he did the things commanded? 10 So also ye, when ye do all the things commanded you, say, Slaves unprofitable we are, what we ought to do we have done.

Disciples

"2 men on a couch, one taken"

 

17: 22 And he said to the disciples Will come days when ye will long one of the days of the Son of man to see and will not see. 23 And they will say to you: Behold there, behold here; do not go away nor flow. 24 For as the lightning flashing out of the one part under heaven to the other part under heaven shines, so will be the Son of man in the day of him. 25 But first it behoves him many things to suffer, and to be rejected from generation this. 26 And 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, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage, until which day entered Noah into the ark, and came the flood and destroyed all. 28 Likewise as it was in the days of Lot they were eating drinking, buying, selling, planting, building: 29 but on which day

went forth Lot from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed all. 30 According to the same things it will be in which day the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day who will be on the roof and the goods of him in the house, let him not come down to take them, and the one in a field likewise not let him turn back to the things behind. 32 Remember the wife of Lot. 33 Whoever seeks the life of him to preserve, he will lose it, and whoever will lose, will preserve it. 34 I tell you in this night there will be two men on couch one, the one will be taken and the other will be left 35 there will be two women grinding together; the one will be taken but the other will be left. 37 And answering they say to him. Where Lord? And he said to them: Where the body, there also the eagles will be gathered together.

to him day and night, and be patient over them? 8 I tell you that he will make the vindication of them quickly. Nevertheless the Son of man coming then will he find the faith on the earth? nor man regard, 5 at least because to cause me trouble widow this I will vindicate her, lest in the end coming she exhausts me. 6 And said the Lord: Hear ye what the Judge of unrighteousness says; 7 and God by no means will he make the vindication of the chosen ones of him crying to him day and night, and be patient over them? 8 I tell you that he will make the vindication of them quickly. Nevertheless the Son of man coming then will he find the faith on the earth?
