Luke 17:1-17

¹And he said to his disciples, It is impossible but that stumbling-blocks will come; but woe to him through whom they come!

²It were better for him to have a millstone hung round his neck, and be cast into the sea, than to cause one of these little ones to fall away.

³Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

⁴And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times turn to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.

⁵And the apostles said to the Lord, Give us more faith.

⁶But the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to this sycamine-tree, Be plucked up by the roots, and planted in the sea! and it would obey you.

⁷And which of you having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he hath come in from the field, Come immediately and place thyself at table?

⁸Will he not rather say to 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?

⁹Doth he owe any thanks to that servant, because he did what was commanded?

¹⁰So also do ye, when ye have done all that hath been commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were bound to do.

¹¹And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, that he was traveling on the confines of Samaria and Galilee.

¹²And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten lepers, who stood afar off.

¹³And they lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus, Master, have pity on us.

¹⁴And when he saw them, he said to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

¹⁵And one of them, perceiving that he was freed from his disease, turned back, giving glory to God with a loud voice;

¹⁶and he fell down on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him; and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
