bwe Luke:17:1-10
bwe@Luke:17:1 @ Jesus said to his disciples, People will make other people do wrong. But the person who makes another person do wrong will have trouble.
bwe@Luke:17:2 @ A big stone should be tied around his neck and then he should be thrown into the sea. That would be better for him than to make one of these little children do wrong.
bwe@Luke:17:3 @ Take care! If your brother does something bad, tell him what he has done. If he is sorry, then forgive him.
bwe@Luke:17:4 @ Maybe he will do wrong to you seven times in one day. But if he comes to you seven times in one day and says, "I am sorry for what I did," then you must forgive him.
bwe@Luke:17:5 @ The apostles said to the Lord, Help us to believe more.
bwe@Luke:17:6 @ The Lord said, If you believe as much as a little mustard seed, then you can say to this tree, "Come up by the roots and plant yourself in the sea." And it would obey you.
bwe@Luke:17:7 @ If your servant is working in the field or taking care of sheep, what will you say to him when he comes in from the field? Will you say, "Come now and sit down to eat"?
bwe@Luke:17:8 @ No, you will say, "Get my food ready. Get ready to wait on me. I will eat and drink. After that, then you may eat and drink."
bwe@Luke:17:9 @ Will you thank the servant for doing what you told him to do?
bwe@Luke:17:10 @ It is the same with you. When you have done all you were told to do, you should say, "We are servants. We have not done a big thing. We have only done what we should do."
