Luke 17:14-27 Modern English Version (MEV)

14. When He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.

15. One of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned with a loud voice glorifying God,

16. and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

17. Jesus said, “Were not the ten cleansed? Where are the nine?

18. Were there not any found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner?”

19. Then He said to him, “Rise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

20. When He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation.

21. Nor will they say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ For remember, the kingdom of God is within you.”

22. Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

23. They will say to you, ‘Look here,’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not follow after them.

24. For as the lightning flashes and lights up the heavens from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in His day.

25. But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26. “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.

27. They were eating, drinking, marrying, and were given in marriage until the day when Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
