And as He was going to Jerusalem, He passed between Samaria and Galilee.

And as He entered into a certain village, ten  ¹leprous men, who stood at a distance, met Him.

And they raised their voice, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!

And when He saw them, He said to them, Go and show yourselves to the priests. And as they  ¹went, they were cleansed.

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, glorifying God with a loud voice;

And he fell on his face at His feet, thanking Him. And he was a Samaritan.

And Jesus answered and said, Were not the ten cleansed? But the nine, where are they?

Were none found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?

And He said to him, Rise up and go; your faith has  ¹healed you.

And when He was questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, The  ¹kingdom of God does  ²not come with observation;

Nor will they say, Behold, here it is! or, There! For behold, the  ¹kingdom of God is in the midst of  ²you.

And He said to the disciples, The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will  ¹not see it.

And they will say to you, Behold, there! Behold, here! Do not go away, nor run after them.

For just as  ¹lightning flashing from one end  ²of heaven shines to the other end  ²of heaven, so will the Son of Man be in His day.

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

 ¹And even as it happened in the  ²days of Noah, so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man:

They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day in which Noah entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all.

Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

But on the day in which Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

It will be in the same way on the day in which the Son of Man is revealed.

In that day, he who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him  ¹not come down to take them away; and he who is in the field, likewise, let him not turn back to the things behind.

Remember  ¹Lot's wife.

Whoever seeks to  ¹preserve his soul-life will lose it, and whoever loses it will preserve it alive.

 ¹I tell you, In that night there will be two on one bed; the one will be  ²taken and the other will be left.

There will be two women grinding together; the one will be taken but the other will be left.

 ¹Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left.

And they answered and said to Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, Where the  ¹body is, there also will the vultures be gathered together.

And a man of God came to Eli and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, I revealed Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt  ¹as slaves to Pharaoh's house.

And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to go up to My altar, to burn incense, and to wear the ephod before Me. And I gave the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel.

Why then do you kick at My sacrifice and My offering, which I have commanded in My habitation, and honor your sons more than Me by making yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?

Therefore Jehovah the God of Israel declares, I surely said that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever; but now Jehovah declares, Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who spurn Me will be lightly esteemed.

The days are now coming when I will cut off your arm and the arm of the house of your father, so that there will not be an old man in your house.

And you shall see the distress of My habitation in the midst of all the good that  ¹I will do to Israel, and there shall not be an old man in your house forever.

And that man of yours whom I do not cut off from My altar shall be left to consume your eyes and to grieve your soul, and all the increase of your house shall die  ¹by the swords of men.

And this will be the sign to you, which will come upon your two sons, upon Hophni and Phinehas: In one day both of them shall die.

And I will raise up for Myself a faithful  ¹priest, who will do according to what is in My  ²heart and in My  ²mind; and I will build him a sure house; and he will  ³go before My anointed continually.

And everyone who is left of your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and for a loaf of bread, and will say, Please put me in one of the priests' offices that I may eat a morsel of bread.

And the boy Samuel ministered to Jehovah before Eli. Now the word of Jehovah was  ¹rare in those days; visions were not widespread.

And at that time Eli lay in his place, and his eyesight had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see.

And the lamp of God had not yet gone out. And Samuel lay in the temple of Jehovah, where the Ark of God was.

Then Jehovah called to Samuel. And he said, Here I am.

And he ran to Eli and said, Here I am, for you called me. And he said, I did not call. Go back and lie down. And he went and lay down.

And Jehovah called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel rose up and went to Eli and said, Here I am, for you called me. And he said, I did not call, my son. Go back and lie down.

Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, and the word of Jehovah had not yet been revealed to him.

Then Jehovah called Samuel again, the third time. And he rose up and went to Eli and said, Here I am, for you called me. Then Eli perceived that it was Jehovah calling the boy.

And Eli said to Samuel, Go and lie down, and if He calls you, you shall say, Speak, O Jehovah; for Your servant is listening. And Samuel went and lay down in his place.

Then Jehovah came and stood by and called as at the other times, Samuel! Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for Your servant is listening.

And Jehovah said to Samuel,  ¹I am about to do something in Israel which will make both ears of anyone who hears of it tingle.

On that day I will fulfill against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.

For I have told him that I am about to judge his house forever because of the iniquity which he knew; for his sons brought the curse upon themselves, and he did not restrain them.

And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of the house of Eli shall not be expiated by sacrifice or by offering forever.

And Samuel lay down until the morning, when he opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.

But Eli called Samuel and said, Samuel my son. And he said, Here I am.

And he said, What was the word that He spoke to you? Do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and even more, if you hide from me any of the word which He spoke to you.

So Samuel told him everything and did not hide anything from him. And he said, He is Jehovah; let Him do what is good in His sight.

And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.

And all Israel, from Dan to Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel had been established as a  ¹prophet of Jehovah.

And Jehovah continued to appear in Shiloh, for Jehovah revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.
