Luke 17:20-37, [20] Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, [21] nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or 'There!' for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you." [22] And he said to the disciples, "The days are coming 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, 'Look, there!' or 'Look, here!' Do not go out or follow them. [24] For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky 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 and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. [28] Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, [29] but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all—[30] so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. [31] On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. [32] Remember Lot's wife. [33] Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it. [34] I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. [35] There will be two women grinding together.

The Scripture: Proverbs 23:25, "Let your father and mother be glad; let her who bore you rejoice." (ESV)

Luke 17:11–19, [11] On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. [12] And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance [13] and lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us." [14] When he saw them he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went they were cleansed. [15] Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; [16] and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. [17] Then Jesus answered, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? [18] Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" [19] And he said to him, "Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well." (ESV)

Luke 19-28-44, -28- And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. -29- When he drew near to Bethphage-and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of-the disciples, -30- saying, -Go into the village in front of you,-where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has-ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. -31- If anyone asks you,-'Why are you untying it--' you shall say this- 'The Lord has need-of it.'- -32- So those who were sent went away and found it just-as he had told them. -33- And as they were untying the colt, its-owners said to them, -Why are you untying the colt--- -34- And-they said, -The Lord has need of it.- -35- And they brought it to-Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it.--36- And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road.--37- As he was drawing near-already on the way down the-Mount of Olives-the whole multitude of his disciples began to-rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works-that they had seen, -38- saying, -Blessed is the King who comes-in the name of the Lord- Peace in heaven and glory in the-highest-- -39- And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to-him, -Teacher, rebuke your disciples.- -40- He answered, -I tell-you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.---41- And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over-it, -42- saying, -Would that you, even you, had known on this day-the things that make for peace- But now they are hidden from-your eyes. -43- For the days will come upon you, when your-enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and-hem you in on every side -44- and tear you down to
