Luke 17:1–19

WARNINGS FROM JESUS

17 Het said to his disciples, “Offenses will certainly come,B but woeu to the one through whom they come!v 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble.w 3 Bex on your guard. If your brother sins,C rebukey him, and if he repents, forgivez him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and comes back to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

FAITH AND DUTY

5 Theaa apostlesab said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”ac

6 “If you have faith the size ofD a mustard seed,”ad the Lord said, “you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

7 “Which one of you having a servant tending sheep or plowing will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8 Instead, will he not tell him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, get ready, and serve me while I eat and drink; later you can eat and drink’?ae 9 Does he thank that servant because he did what was commanded?E 10 In the same way, when you have done all that you were commanded, you should say, ‘We are unworthyaf servants; we’ve only done our duty.’ ”

TEN MEN HEALED

11 While traveling to Jerusalem,ag he passed betweenF Samaria and Galilee.ah 12 As he entered a village, ten men with leprosy* ai met him. They stood at a distance 13 and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master,aj have mercy on us!”

14 When he saw them, he told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.”ak And while they were going, they were cleansed.

15 But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God.al 16 He fell facedownam at his feet, thanking him. And he was a Samaritan.an

17 Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Didn’t any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.”A,ao
