Context of Luke 17:3

1Then he said to the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe to him, by whom they come! 2It were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother shall trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he shall repent, forgive him. 4And if he tresspasses against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. 5And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.
