Luke 17:1-17

¹Then said he to his disciples, It can not be auoided, but that offences will come, but wo be to him by whome they come.

²It is better for him that a great milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were cast into ye sea, then that he should offende one of these litle ones.

³Take heede to your selues: if thy brother trespasse against thee, rebuke him: and if hee repent, forgiue him.

⁴And though he sinne against thee seuen times in a day, and seuen times in a day turne againe to thee, saying, It repenteth mee, thou shalt forgiue him.

⁵And the Apostles saide vnto the Lord, Increase our faith.

⁶And the Lord said, If ye had faith, as much as is a graine of mustard seede, and should say vnto this mulberie tree, Plucke thy selfe vp by the rootes, and plant thy selfe in the sea, it should euen obey you.

⁷Who is it also of you, that hauing a seruant plowing or feeding cattell, woulde say vnto him by and by, when hee were come from the fielde, Goe, and sit downe at table?

⁸And woulde not rather say to him, Dresse wherewith I may suppe, and girde thy selfe, and serue mee, till I haue eaten and drunken, and afterward eate thou, and drinke thou?

⁹Doeth he thanke that seruant, because hee did that which was commanded vnto him? I trowe not.

¹⁰So likewise yee, when yee haue done all those things, which are commanded you, say, We are vnprofitable seruants: wee haue done that which was our duetie to doe.

¹¹And so it was when he went to Hierusalem, that he passed through the middes of Samaria, and Galile.

¹²And as hee entred into a certaine towne, there met him tenne men that were lepers, which stoode a farre off.

¹³And they lift vp their voyces and saide, Iesus, Master, haue mercie on vs.

¹⁴And when he saw them, he said vnto them, Goe, shewe your selues vnto the Priestes. And it came to passe, that as they went, they were clensed.

¹⁵Then one of them, when hee sawe that hee, was healed, turned backe, and with a loude voyce praised God,

¹⁶And fell downe on his face at his feete, and gaue him thankes: and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷And Iesus answered, and said, Are there not tenne clensed? but where are the nine?
