Luke 17:1-10

1NowG1161 He saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “1It is inevitableG418G3361 that 2stumblingG4625 blocksG4625 comeG2064, but woeG3759 to one throughG1223 whomG3739 they comeG2064! 23It is betterG3081 for him ifG1487 a millstoneG3037G3457 is hungG4029 aroundG4012 his neckG5137 and he 4is thrownG4496 into the seaG2281, thanG2228 that he may causeG4624 oneG1520 of theseG3778 littleG3398 onesG3398 toG4624 5sinG4624. 36Be on your guardG4337G1438! 7IfG1437 your brotherG80 sinsG264, rebukeG2008 him; and ifG1437 he repentsG3340, forgiveG863 him. 4And ifG1437 he sinsG264 againstG1519 you 8sevenG2034 timesG2034 a dayG2250, and returnsG1994 to you sevenG2034 timesG2034, sayingG3004, ‘I repentG3340,’ you shall forgiveG863 him.”

59The apostlesG652 saidG3004 to 10the LordG2962, “IncreaseG4369 our faithG4102!” 6But 11the LordG2962 saidG3004, “IfG1487 you 12hadG2192 faithG4102 13the sizeG5613 of 14a mustardG4615 seedG2848, you could sayG3004 to thisG3778 15mulberryG4807 treeG4807, ‘Be uprootedG1610 and be plantedG5452 in the seaG2281’; and it would 16obeyG5219 you.

7“NowG1161 whichG5101 of you, havingG2192 a slaveG1401 plowingG722 orG2228 tendingG4165 sheepG4165, will sayG3004 to him after he comesG1525 inG1525 from the fieldG68, ‘ComeG3928 immediatelyG2112 and reclineG377 at the table toG377 eatG377’? 8OnG235 theG235 contraryG235, will he not sayG3004 to him, ‘17PrepareG2090 somethingG5101 for me to eatG1172, and properly 18clotheG4024 yourself and serveG1247 me whileG2193 I eatG1172 and drinkG4095; and 19afterwardG3326G3778 you 20may eatG2068 and drinkG4095’? 9He does not thankG5485 the slaveG1401 becauseG3754 he didG4160 the things which were commandedG1299, does he? 10SoG3779 you tooG2532, whenG3752 you doG4160 allG3956 the thingsG3956 which were commandedG1299 you, sayG3004, ‘We are 21unworthyG888 slavesG1401; we have doneG4160 only that whichG3739 we oughtG3784 to have doneG4160.’”
