   Bible Reading for October 31   
      
   Luke Chapter 17   
      
   1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences   
   will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!   
      
   2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck,   
   and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little   
   ones.   
      
   3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke   
   him; and if he repent, forgive him.   
      
   4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times   
   in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.   
      
   5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.   
      
   6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye   
   might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and   
   be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.   
      
   7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say   
   unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?   
      
   8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and   
   gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward   
   thou shalt eat and drink?   
      
   9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were   
   commanded him? I trow not.   
      
   10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are   
   commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that   
   which was our duty to do.   
      
   11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through   
   the midst of Samaria and Galilee.   
      
   12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that   
   were lepers, which stood afar off:   
      
   13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy   
   on us.   
      
   14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the   
   priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.   
      
   15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and   
   with a loud voice glorified God,   
      
   16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was   
   a Samaritan.   
      
   17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are   
   the nine?   
      
   18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this   
   stranger.   
      
   19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.   
      
   20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God   
   should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not   
   with observation:   
      
   21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the   
   kingdom of God is within you.   
      
   22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall   
   desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.   
      
   23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after   
   them, nor follow them.   
      
   24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under   
   heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son   
   of man be in his day.   
      
   25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.   
      
   26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of   
   the Son of man.   
      
   27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in   
   marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood   
   came, and destroyed them all.   
      
   28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank,   
   they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;   
      
   29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and   
   brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.   
      
   30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.   
      
   31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in   
   the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the   
   field, let him likewise not return back.   
      
   32 Remember Lot's wife.   
      
   33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever   
   shall lose his life shall preserve it.   
      
   34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one   
   shall be taken, and the other shall be left.   
      
   35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the   
   other left.   
      
   36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other   
   left.   
      
   37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto   
   them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.   
      
   Luke Chapter 18   
      
   1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to   
   pray, and not to faint;   
      
   2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither   
   regarded man:   
      
   3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying,   
   Avenge me of mine adversary.   
      
   4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself,   
   Though I fear not God, nor regard man;   
      
   5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her   
   continual coming she weary me.   
      
   6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.   
      
   7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto   
   him, though he bear long with them?   
      
   8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the   
   Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?   
      
   9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves   
   that they were righteous, and despised others:   
      
   10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the   
   other a publican.   
      
   11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee,   
   that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or   
   even as this publican.   
      
   12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.   
      
   13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his   
   eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to   
   me a sinner.   
      
   14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the   
   other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that   
   humbleth himself shall be exalted.   
      
   15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but   
   when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.   
      
   16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to   
   come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.   
      
   17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God   
   as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.   
      
   18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do   
   to inherit eternal life?   
      
   19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save   
   one, that is, God.   
      
   20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill,   
   Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.   
      
   21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.   
      
   22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou   
   one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and
