Luke 17:1-10

Do All Which Jesus Commands

Now He said to His disciples, “^aIt is ¹inevitable that ²stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come! 2 ^aIt ¹would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3 ¹Be on your guard! ^aIf your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you ^aseven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ ¹forgive him.”
5 ^aAnd the apostles said to ^bthe Lord, “Increase our faith!” 6 And ^athe Lord said, “If you have faith like ^ba mustard seed, you would say to this ^cmulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would ¹obey you.
7 “But which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come immediately and ¹sit down to eat’? 8 But will he not say to him, ‘^aPrepare something for me to eat, and, ¹clothing yourself properly, serve me while I eat and drink; and ²afterward you ³may eat and drink’? 9 Is he grateful to the slave because he did the things which were commanded? 10 In this way, you also, when you do all the things which are commanded of you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’”
