Luke 17:3-10
English Standard Version Anglicised
3 Pay attention to yourselves! (A)If your brother sins, (B)rebuke him, and if he repents, (C)forgive him, 4 and if he sins against you (D)seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent’, you must forgive him.”
Increase Our Faith
5 (E)The apostles said to the Lord, (F)“Increase our faith!” 6 And the Lord said, (G)“If you had faith like (H)a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this (I)mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea’, and it would obey you.
Unworthy Servants
7 “Will any one of you who has a servant[a] ploughing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’? 8 Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and (J)dress properly,[b] and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterwards you will eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? 10 So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are (K)unworthy servants;[c] we have only done what was our duty.’”
