New Testament in a Year

17 And he said unto the disciples, `It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but wo [to him] through whom they come;

² it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.

³ `Take heed to yourselves, and, if thy brother may sin in regard to thee, rebuke him, and if he may reform, forgive him,

⁴ and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.'

⁵ And the apostles said to the Lord, `Add to us faith;'

⁶ and the Lord said, `If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

⁷ `But, who is he of you -- having a servant ploughing or feeding -- who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come near, recline at meat?

⁸ but will not [rather] say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and having girded thyself about, minister to me, till I eat and drink, and after these things thou shalt eat and drink?

⁹ Hath he favour to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not.

¹⁰ `So also ye, when ye may have done all the things directed you, say -- We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do -- we have done.'

¹¹ And it came to pass, in his going on to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee,

¹² and he entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off,

¹³ and they lifted up the voice, saying, `Jesus, master, deal kindly with us;'

¹⁴ and having seen [them], he said to them, `Having gone on, shew yourselves to the priests;' and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed,

¹⁵ and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God,

¹⁶ and he fell upon [his] face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, `Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine -- where?

¹⁸ There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;'

¹⁹ and he said to him, `Having risen, be going on, thy faith hath saved thee.'
