Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Luke
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Luke
017:012 And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him who were
lepers and stood at a distance.
017:013 In loud voices they cried out, "Jesus, Rabbi, take pity on us."
017:014 Perceiving this, He said to them, "Go and show yourselves
to the Priests." And while on their way to do this they
were made clean.
017:015 One of them, seeing that he was cured, came back, adoring and
praising God in a loud voice,
017:016 and he threw himself at the feet of Jesus, thanking Him.
He was a Samaritan.
017:017 "Were not all ten made clean?" Jesus asked; "but where
are the nine?
017:018 Have none been found to come back and give glory to God
except this foreigner?"
017:019 And He said to him, "Rise and go: your faith has cured you."
017:020 Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God was coming,
He answered, "The Kingdom of God does not so come that you
can stealthily watch for it.
017:021 Nor will they say, `See here!' or `See there!'--for the Kingdom
of God is within you."
017:022 Then, turning to His disciples, He said, "There will come a time
when you will wish you could see a single one of the days
of the Son of Man, but will not see one.
017:023 And they will say to you, `See there!' `See here!'
Do not start off and go in pursuit.
017:024 For just as the lightning, when it flashes, shines from one part
of the horizon to the opposite part, so will the Son of Man
be on His day.
017:025 But first He must endure much suffering, and be rejected
by the present generation.
017:026 "And as it was in the time of Noah, so will it also be in the time
of the Son of Man.
017:027 Men were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving wives,
up to the very day on which Noah entered the Ark, and the Deluge
came and destroyed them all.
017:028 The same was true in the time of Lot: they were eating
and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building;
017:029 but on the day that Lot left Sodom, God rained fire and brimstone
from the sky and destroyed them all.
017:030 Exactly so will it be on the day that the veil is lifted
from the Son of Man.
017:031 "On that day, if a man is on the roof and his property indoors,
let him not go down to fetch it; and, in the same way,
he who is in the field, let him not turn back.
017:032 Remember Lot's wife.
017:033 Any man who makes it his object to keep his own life safe,
will lose it; but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
017:034 On that night, I tell you, there will be two men in one bed:
one will be taken away and the other left behind.
017:035 There will be two women turning the mill together:
one will be taken away and the other left behind."
017:036 []
