Context of Luke 17:3

1Now He said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to one through whom they come! 2It is better for him if a millstone is hung around his neck and he is thrown into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to sin. Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.” 5The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
