Luke 17:1-17

¹Jesus said to his disciples, “It is certain there will be things that can cause us to sin, but woe to that person through whom they come!

²It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

³Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.

⁴If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him!”

⁵The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

⁶The Lord said, “If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

⁷But which of you, who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down to eat'?

⁸Will he not say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat, and put a belt around your clothes and serve me until I have finished eating and drinking. Then afterward you will eat and drink'?

⁹He does not thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded, does he?

¹⁰Even so you also, when you have done everything that you are commanded, should say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have only done what we ought to do.'”

¹¹It came about that as he traveled to Jerusalem, he went along the border between Samaria and Galilee.

¹²As he entered into a certain village, there he was met by ten men who were lepers. They stood far away from him

¹³and they lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”

¹⁴When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went away they were cleansed.

¹⁵When one of them saw that he was healed, he turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God.

¹⁶He fell down at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. He was a Samaritan.

¹⁷Then Jesus said, “Were not the ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
