1Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come![ † ]1 Corinthians 11:19Matthew 18:6-7Matthew 26:24Mark 9:422 Thessalonians 1:6Jude 11 2It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.[ † ]Matthew 18:15-21Leviticus 19:17Proverbs 17:10Galatians 6:1James 5:19-20 4Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
5The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

7Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you may eat and drink’?[ † ]Luke 12:37 9Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told? 10So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”[ † ]Job 22:3Job 35:7Psalms 16:2Matthew 25:30Romans 3:12Romans 11:351 Corinthians 9:16-17Philemon 11
11While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.[ † ]Luke 9:51-52John 4:4 12As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance[ † ]Leviticus 13:46Numbers 5:2 13and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.[ † ]Leviticus 13:1-59Leviticus 14:1-32Matthew 8:4Luke 5:14

17“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine? 18Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”
19Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”[ † ]Matthew 9:22Mark 5:34Mark 10:52Luke 7:50Luke 8:48Luke 18:42
20When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs. 21Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”[ † ]Luke 17:23Romans 14:17
22Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.[ † ]Matthew 9:15Mark 2:20Luke 5:35John 17:12 23People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.[ † ]Matthew 24:23Mark 13:21Luke 21:8 24For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.[ † ]Matthew 24:27 25But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.[ † ]Matthew 26:67Matthew 27:29-31Mark 8:31Mark 9:31Mark 10:33Luke 9:22
26Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:[ † ]Matthew 24:37-39Genesis 6:5-7Genesis 6:8-131 Peter 3:20 27People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.[ † ]Genesis 7:1-16Genesis 7:19-23
28It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.[ † ]Genesis 19 29But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.[ † ]Genesis 19:16-24, 292 Peter 2:6-7
30It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.[ † ]Matthew 16:271 Corinthians 1:7Colossians 3:42 Thessalonians 1:71 Peter 1:71 Peter 4:131 John 2:28 31On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions.
