1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! |
2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. |
3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. |
4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. |
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. |
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. |
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? |
8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? |
9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. |
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. |
11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. |
12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: |
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. |
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. |
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, |
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. |
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? |
18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. |
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. |
