1 And he said to his disciples, "It is impossible for causes for stumbling not to come, but woe [to him] through whom they come!
1 He said to His disciples, “(A)It is inevitable that (a)stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come!
1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
1 He(A) said to His disciples, “Offenses(a) will certainly come,(b) but woe(B) to the one they come(C) through!
1 Jesus told his disciples, "It is inevitable that temptations to sin will come, but how terrible it will be for the person through whom they come!
2 It would be better for him if {a millstone} is placed around his neck and he is thrown into the sea than that he causes one of these little ones to sin.
2 (B)It (b)would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.
2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
2 It would be better for him if a millstone(c) were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble.(D)
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times he returns to you saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him."
4 And if he sins against you (D)seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ (d)forgive him.”
4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and comes back to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day and comes back to you seven times and says, "I repent,' you must forgive him."
6 So the Lord said, "If you have faith like a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
6 And (G)the Lord said, “If you (e)had faith like (H)a mustard seed, you would say to this (I)mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would (f)obey you.
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
6 “If you have faith the size of(e) a mustard seed,”(K) the Lord said, “you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.
6 The Lord replied, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, "Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you!
7 "And which of you who has a slave plowing or shepherding [sheep] who comes in from the field will say to him, 'Come here at once [and] recline at the table'?
7 “Which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come immediately and (g)sit down to eat’?
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
7 “Which one of you having a slave tending sheep or plowing will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
7 "Suppose a man among you has a servant plowing or watching sheep. Would he say to him when he comes in from the field, "Come at once and have something to eat'?
8 Will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare something that I may eat, and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and after these [things] you will eat and drink.'
8 But will he not say to him, ‘(J)Prepare something for me to eat, and properly (h)clothe yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; and (i)afterward you (j)may eat and drink’?
8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
8 Instead, will he not tell him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, get ready,(f) and serve me while I eat and drink; later you can eat and drink’?(L)
8 Of course not. Instead, he would say to him, "Get dinner ready for me, and put on your apron and wait on me until I eat and drink. Then you can eat and drink.'
9 He will not {be grateful} to the slave because he did what was ordered, [will he]?
9 He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he?
9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
9 He doesn't praise the servant for doing what was commanded, does he?
10 Thus you also, when you have done all the {things you were ordered to do}, say, 'We are unworthy slaves; we have done what we were obligated to do.'"
10 So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’”
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
10 In the same way, when you have done all that you were commanded, you should say, ‘We are good-for-nothing(M) slaves; we’ve only done our duty.’”
10 That's the way it is with you. When you have done everything you were ordered to do, say, "We are worthless servants. We have done only what we ought to have done.'"
11 And it happened that while traveling toward Jerusalem, he was passing through {the region between} Samaria and Galilee.
11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
11 One day, Jesus was traveling along the border between Samaria and Galilee on the way to Jerusalem.
14 And [when he] saw [them] he said to them, "Go [and] show yourselves to the priests." And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed.
14 When He saw them, He said to them, “(O)Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were going, they were cleansed.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
14 When He saw them, He told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.”(R) And while they were going, they were healed.(i)
14 When Jesus saw them, he told them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." While they were going, they were made clean.
15 But one of them, [when he] saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice.
15 Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, (P)glorifying God with a loud voice,
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
15 But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God.(S)
15 But one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, came back and praised God with a loud voice.
17 So Jesus answered [and] said, "Were not ten cleansed? And where [are] the nine?
17 Then Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they?
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
17 Then Jesus said, “Were not 10 cleansed? Where are the nine?
17 Jesus asked, "Ten men were made clean, weren't they? Where are the other nine?
20 Now [when he] was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with {things that can be observed},
20 Now having been questioned by the Pharisees (T)as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with (n)(U)signs to be observed;
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
20 Being(W) asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God will come,(X) He answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming with something observable;
20 Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come. He answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming with a visible display.
21 nor will they say, 'Behold, here [it is]!' or 'There!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst."
21 nor will (V)they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is (o)in your midst.”
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
21 People won't be saying, "Look! Here it is!' or "There it is!' because now the kingdom of God is among you."
22 And he said to the disciples, "Days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see [it].
22 And He said to the disciples, “(W)The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
22 Then He told the disciples: “The days are coming(Y) when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you won’t see it.(Z)
22 Then Jesus told the disciples, "The time will come during which you will long to see one of these days when the Son of Man is with you, but you will not see it.
24 For just as the lightning shines forth, flashing from [one place] under heaven to [another place] under heaven, so the Son of Man will be in his day.
24 (Y)For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part (p)of the sky, shines to the other part (q)of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day.
24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
24 For as the lightning flashes from horizon to horizon and lights up the sky, so the Son of Man will be in His day.(AC)
24 Because just as lightning flashes and shines from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his time.
26 And just as it was in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of Man--
26 (AA)And just as it happened (AB)in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
26 "Just as it was in Noah's time, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man.

27 People were eating, drinking, marrying, and being given in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed all of them.
28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot--they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building.
28 (r)It was the same as happened in (AC)the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
28 It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot:(AH) People went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building.
28 So it was in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29 But on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed all of them.
31 On that day, whoever is on the housetop and his goods [are] in the house must not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who [is] in the field must not turn back
31 On that day, the one who is (AE)on the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one who is in the field must not turn back.
