17:6. And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard
seed, you might say to this mulberry tree: Be thou rooted up and be thou
transplanted into the sea. And it would obey you.
17:7. But which of you, having a servant ploughing or feeding cattle,
will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go. Sit
down to meat.
17:8. And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper and gird
thyself and serve me, whilst I eat and drink; and afterwards thou shalt
eat and drink?
17:9. Doth he thank that servant for doing the things which he commanded
him?
17:10. I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these
things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we
have done that which we ought to do.
Unprofitable servants... Because our service is of no profit to our
master; and he justly claims it as our bounden duty. But though we are
unprofitable to him, our serving him is not unprofitable to us; for he
is pleased to give by his grace a value to our good works, which, in
consequence of his promise, entitles them to an eternal reward.
17:11. And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed
through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
17:12. And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that
were lepers, who stood afar off.
17:13. And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on
us.
17:14. Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests.
And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean.
17:15. And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back,
with a loud voice glorifying God.
17:16. And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks. And this
was a Samaritan.
17:17. And Jesus answering, said: Were not ten made clean? And where are
the nine?
17:18. There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this
stranger.
17:19. And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made
thee whole.
17:20. And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God should
come, he answering them and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with
observation.
17:21. Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the
kingdom of God is within you.
17:22. And he said to his disciples: The days will come when you shall
desire to see one day of the Son of man. And you shall not see it.
17:23. And they will say to you: See here, and see there. Go ye not
after, nor follow them.
17:24. For as the lightning that lighteneth from under heaven shineth
unto the parts that are under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his
day.
17:25. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this
generation.
17:26. And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in
the days of the Son of man.
17:27. They did eat and drink, they married wives and were given in
marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark and the flood came
and destroyed them all.
17:28. Likewise as it came to pass in the days of Lot. They did eat and
drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built.
