Chapter 17 of Luke—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ He said to His disciples, “1It is inevitable that [a]stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come!
  2. 2It [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.
  3. [c]Be on your guard! 3If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
  4. And if he sins against you 4seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ [d]forgive him.”
  5. 5The apostles said to 6the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
  6. And 7the Lord said, “If you [e]had faith like 8a mustard seed, you would say to this 9mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would [f]obey you.
  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’?
  8. But will he not say to him, ‘10Prepare 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’?
  9. He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he?
  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.’”
  11. ¶ While He was 11on the way to Jerusalem, 12He was passing [k]between Samaria and Galilee.
  12. As He entered a village, ten leprous men who 13stood at a distance met Him;
  13. and they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, 14Master, have mercy on us!”
  14. When He saw them, He said to them, “15Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were going, they were cleansed.
  15. Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, 16glorifying God with a loud voice,
  16. and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a 17Samaritan.
  17. Then Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they?
  18. [l]Was no one found who returned to 18give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
  19. And He said to him, “Stand up and go; 19your faith [m]has made you well.”
  20. ¶ Now having been questioned by the Pharisees 20as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with [n]21signs to be observed;
  21. nor will 22they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is [o]in your midst.”
  22. ¶ And He said to the disciples, “23The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
  23. 24They will say to you, ‘Look there! Look here!’ Do not go away, and do not run after them.
  24. 25For 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.
  25. 26But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
  26. 27And just as it happened 28in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:
  27. they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
  28. [r]It was the same as happened in 29the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;
  29. but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and [s]brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
  30. It will be [t]just the same on the day that the Son of Man 30is revealed.
  31. On that day, the one who is 31on 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.
  32. 32Remember Lot’s wife.
  33. 33Whoever seeks to keep his [u]life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.
  34. I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.
  35. 34There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left.
  36. [[v]35Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left.”]
  37. And answering they *said to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “36Where the body is, there also the [w]vultures will be gathered.”

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
