1 And He said to His disciples, "It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come; but woe to him through whom they come! 2 It were profitable for him, if a millstone were placed about his neck, and he thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3 Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and, if he repents, forgive him. 4 And, if he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times turns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him." 5 And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith." 6 And the Lord said, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say to this sycamine tree, 'Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. 7 But who is there of you, having a servant plowing, or tending sheep, that will say to him, having come in from the field, 'Coming straightway, recline at table ;' 8 and will not rather say to him, 'Make ready wherewith I may sup; and, having girded yourself, serve me, until I eat and drink; and afterward you shall eat and drink?'
