Luke:17:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And he said to his disciples ,
It cannot be but that offences come ,
but woe [
to him ]
by whom they come !
*
It would be [
more ]
profitable for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea ,
than that he should be a snare to one of these little ones .
*
Take heed to yourselves :
if thy brother should sin ,
rebuke him ;
and if he should repent ,
forgive him .
*
And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day ,
and seven times should return to thee ,
saying ,
I repent ,
thou shalt forgive him .
*
And the apostles said to the Lord ,
Give more faith to us .
*
But the Lord said ,
If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [
seed ],
ye had said to this sycamine tree ,
Be thou rooted up ,
and be thou planted in the sea ,
and it would have obeyed you .
*
But which of you [
is there ]
who ,
having a bondman ploughing or shepherding ,
when he comes in out of the field ,
will say ,
Come and lie down immediately to table ?
*
But will he not say to him ,
Prepare what I shall sup on ,
and gird thyself and serve me that I may eat and drink ;
and after that thou shalt eat and drink ?
*
Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered ?
I judge not .
*
Thus ye also ,
when ye shall have done all things that have been ordered you ,
say ,
We are unprofitable bondmen ;
we have done what it was our duty to do .
