11And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, that he went through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12And as he was entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off. 13And they lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14And seeing it, he said to them: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15And one of them, seeing that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God, 16and fell down on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him; and he was a Samaritan. 17And Jesus answering said: Were not the ten cleansed? And where are the nine? 18Were none found returning to give glory to God, except this stranger? 19And he said to him: Arise, and go; thy faith has made thee whole.
20And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them and said: The kingdom of God comes not with observation; 21nor shall they say, Lo here! or, Lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you[21].
22And he said to the disciples: Days will come, when ye will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye will not see it. 23And they will say to you, See here; or, See there; go not away, and follow not. 24For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines unto the other part under heaven, so will the Son of man be in his day. 25But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected on the part of this generation.
26And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all. 28In like manner also as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29but the same day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all. 30After the same manner will it be, in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31In that day, he who shall be on the house-top, and his goods in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not turn back. 32Remember Lot's wife. 33Whoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life shall preserve it.
34I say to you, in that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left. 35Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken, and the other left. 37And they answering say to him: Where, Lord? And he said to them: Where the body is, there also will the eagles be gathered together.
XVIII. And he spoke also a parable to them, to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2saying: There was in a certain city a certain judge, who feared not God, nor regarded man. 3And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary. 4And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself: Though I fear not God, nor regard man, 5yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.
6And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge says. 7And will not God avenge his chosen, who cry to him day and night, though he is long suffering in respect to them? 8I say to you, that he will avenge them speedily. But yet, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth?
9And he spoke this parable to some who trust in themselves that they are righteous, and despise others. 10Two men went up into the temple to pray; one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11The Pharisee stood, and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I possess[12]. 13And the publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying: God be merciful to me, the sinner. 14I say to you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For every one that exalts himself shall be humbled; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
15And they brought to him also infants, that he might touch them; and the disciples seeing it rebuked them. 16But Jesus calling them to him, said: Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not; for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 17Verily I say to you, whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter therein.
