Luke 17:1–19

Do All Which Jesus Commands

¹Now He said to His disciples, “^aIt is ¹inevitable that ²stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come!

²“^aIt ¹would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.

³“¹Be on your guard! ^aIf your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

⁴“And if he sins against you ^aseven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ ¹forgive him.”

^5aAnd the apostles said to ^bthe Lord, “Increase our faith!”

⁶And ^athe Lord said, “If you have faith like ^ba mustard seed, you would say to this ^cmulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would ¹obey you.

⁷“But which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come immediately and ¹sit down to eat’?

⁸“But will he not say to him, ‘^aPrepare something for me to eat, and, ¹clothing yourself properly, serve me while I eat and drink; and ²afterward you ³may eat and drink’?

⁹“Is he grateful to the slave because he did the things which were commanded?

¹⁰“In this way, you also, when you do all the things which are commanded of you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’”

Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers

¹¹And it happened that while He was ^aon the way to Jerusalem, ^bHe was passing through Samaria and Galilee.

¹²And as He entered a village, ten leprous men who ^astood at a distance met Him.

¹³And they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, ^aMaster, have mercy on us!”

¹⁴When He saw them, He said to them, “^aGo and show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed.

¹⁵Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, ^aglorifying God with a loud voice,

¹⁶and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a ^aSamaritan.

¹⁷Then Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they?

¹⁸“¹Was there no one found who turned back to ^agive glory to God, except this foreigner?”

¹⁹And He said to him, “Stand up and go; ^ayour faith has ¹saved you.”
