1 He said to His disciples, |It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come!
2 |It would 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 |Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4 |And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, 'I repent,' forgive him.|
5 The apostles said to the Lord, |Increase our faith!|
6 And the Lord said, |If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
7 |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 sit down to eat'?
8 |But will he not say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat, and [properly] clothe yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; and afterward you may eat and drink'?
9 |He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he?
10 |So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy slaves; we have done [only] that which we ought to have done.'|
11 While He was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.
12 As He entered a village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him;
13 and they raised their voices, saying, |Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!|
14 When He saw them, He said to them, |Go and show yourselves to the priests.| And as they were going, they were cleansed.
15 Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,
16 and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan.
17 Then Jesus answered and said, |Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine-- where are they?
18 |Was no one found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?|
19 And He said to him, |Stand up and go; your faith has made you well.|
20 Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, |The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed;
21 nor will they say, 'Look, here [it is]!' or, 'There [it is]!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.|
