Chronological
Jesus Heals Ten Lepers. One Returns To Give Thanks
11 And it came about during the proceeding to Jerusalem that He was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And while He was entering into a certain village, ten leprous men met Him, who stood at-a-distance. 13 And they lifted their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master, have-mercy-on us!” 14 And having seen them, He said to them, “Having gone, show yourselves to the priests”. And it came about during their going that they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, having seen that he was healed, returned glorifying God with a loud voice. 16 And he fell on his face at His feet while giving-thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan. 17 And having responded, Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were none found having returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And He said to him, “Having arisen, go. Your faith has restored you”.
Jesus Is Asked When The Kingdom Is Coming. The Kingdom Is Within You
20 And having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God is coming, He responded to them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with observation[a], 21 nor will they say, ‘Behold— here it is’, or, ‘There it is’. For behold— the kingdom of God is within[b] you”.
The Coming of The Son Will Be Like Lightning
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. 23 And they will say to you, ‘Behold— there He is’, or, ‘Behold— here He is’. Do not go, nor pursue them. 24 For just like the lightning flashing out of the one part under heaven shines[c] to the other part under heaven, so will the Son of Man be in His day. 25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
The Coming of The Son Will Be Like The Days of Noah And Lot
26 “And as it happened in the days of Noah [in Gen 6-7], so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man— 27 they were eating, drinking, marrying, being given-in-marriage, until which day[d] Noah entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed everyone. 28 Likewise, just as it happened in the days of Lot [in Gen 19]— they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building. 29 But on the day Lot departed from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed everyone. 30 It will be[e] the same way on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, let he who will be on the housetop and his things in the house not go down to take them. And let the one in a field likewise not turn-back to the things behind. 32 Remember Lot’s wife. 33 Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it. But whoever loses it will keep it alive. 34 I say to you, on this night there will be two people[f] on one bed— the one will be taken[g], and the other will be left. 35 There will be two women grinding at the same place— the one will be taken, and the other will be left. 36 [h] 37 And having responded, they say to Him, “Where, Lord?” And the One said to them, “Where[i] the body is, there also[j] the vultures will be gathered-together”.
Pray And Don’t Lose Heart: God Will Avenge His People
18 And He was speaking a parable to them with-regard-to[k] it being necessary that they always be praying and not losing-heart, 2 saying, “There was in a certain city a certain judge not fearing God and not having-regard-for[l] the person. 3 And there was a widow in that city. And she was coming to him, saying, ‘Avenge[m] me from my adversary’. 4 And he was not willing for a time. But after these things, he said within himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor have regard for the person, 5 yet because of this widow’s causing me trouble, I will avenge her— in order that she, while continually[n] coming, may not be wearing me out’”. 6 And the Lord said, “Listen-to what the unrighteous judge is saying[o]. 7 And shall not God execute vengeance[p] for His chosen ones— the ones crying-out to Him by day and by night and He is being patient[q] with them? 8 I say to you that He will execute vengeance for them quickly. However, the Son of Man having come, will He find faith[r] on the earth?”
Two Men In Prayer: One Exalts Himself, The Other Begs For Mercy
9 And He also spoke this parable to some putting-confidence upon themselves that they were righteous, and treating the rest with contempt— 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-collector. 11 The Pharisee, having stood[s], was praying these things to[t] himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not just-like the rest of the people— swindlers, unrighteous ones, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week. I give-a-tenth-of all that I get’. 13 But the tax collector, standing at-a-distance, was not willing even to lift-up his eyes to heaven, but was striking his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful[u] to me, the sinner!’ 14 I say to you, this one went-down[v] to his house having been declared-righteous, rather-than that one. Because everyone exalting himself will be humbled, but the one humbling himself will be exalted”.
