Luke:17:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And he said to his disciples ,
It is impossible for the stumbling-blocks not to come ,
but woe to him through whom they come !
*
It is better for him if a donkey-powered millstone were hanged about his neck ,
and he were thrown into the sea ,
than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble .
*
Take heed to yourselves .
And if thy brother should sin against thee ,
rebuke him ,
and if he repents ,
forgive him .
*
And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day ,
and seven times in the day turn back ,
saying ,
I repent ,
thou will forgive him .
*
And the apostles said to the Lord ,
Increase faith for us .
*
And the Lord said ,
If ye have faith as a grain of mustard plant ,
ye would say to this sycamine tree ,
Be thou uprooted and be planted in the sea ,
and it would have obeyed you .
*
But which of you having a bondman plowing or feeding livestock ,
who ,
when he comes in from the field ,
will straightaway say ,
After coming near ,
sit down ?
*
Will he not rather say to him ,
Prepare what I may dine ,
and having gird thyself ,
serve me until I eat and drink ,
and after these things thou will eat and drink ?
*
Does he have a favor for that bondman because he did the things that were commanded ?
I think not .
*
Thus ye also ,
when ye did all the things that were commanded you ,
say ,
We are unprofitable bondmen ,
because we have done what we are obligated to do .
