“Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come,” said Jesus, “but woe to anyone through whom they come. It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. So watch yourselves.
“If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. Even if he sins against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.
“Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’? Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? So you also, when you’ve done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We’re unworthy servants; we’ve only done our duty.’”
Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.
One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
Jesus asked, “Weren’t all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith’s made you well.”
