Luke:17:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then He said to the disciples , "
It is impossible for offenses not to come ,
but woe [
to the one ]
through whom they do come !
*
It would be better for him if a millstone were around his neck ,
and he be cast into the sea ,
than that he should offend one of these little ones .
*
Take heed to yourselves .
If your brother sins against you ,
rebuke him ;
and if he repents ,
forgive him .
*
And if he sins against you seven times in a day ,
and seven times in a day he returns ,
saying , '
I repent ,'
you shall forgive him ."
*
And the apostles said to the Lord , "
Increase our faith ."
*
So the Lord said , "
If you have faith as a mustard seed ,
you can say to this mulberry tree , '
Be uprooted and be planted in the sea ,'
and it would obey you .
*
And which of you ,
having a servant plowing or tending sheep ,
will say to him when he has come in from the field , '
Come and recline [
to eat ]'?
*
But will he not say to him , '
Prepare something [
that ]
I may dine ,
and gird yourself and serve me until I eat and drink ,
and afterward you will eat and drink '?
*
Does he thank that servant because he did the things having been commanded ?
I think not .
*
So likewise you ,
whenever you do all the things having been commanded to you ,
say , '
We are unprofitable servants .
We have done what we ought to do .' "
