New Testament in a Year

Do All Which Jesus Commands

17 Now He said to His disciples, “^(A)It is ^[a]inevitable that ^[b]stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come! ^2 (B)It ^[c]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 [d]Be on your guard! ^(C)If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. ⁴ And if he sins against you ^(D)seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ ^[e]forgive him.”

^5 (E)And the apostles said to ^(F)the Lord, “Increase our faith!” ⁶ And ^(G)the Lord said, “If you have faith like ^(H)a mustard seed, you would say to this ^(I)mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would ^[f]obey you.

⁷ “But 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 ^[g]sit down to eat’? ⁸ But will he not say to him, ‘^(J)Prepare something for me to eat, and, ^[h]clothing yourself properly, serve me while I eat and drink; and ^[i]afterward you ^[j]may eat and drink’? ⁹ Is he grateful to the slave because he did the things which were commanded? ¹⁰ In this way, you also, when you do all the things which are commanded of you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’”

Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers

¹¹ And it happened that while He was ^(K)on the way to Jerusalem, ^(L)He was passing through Samaria and Galilee. ¹² And as He entered a village, ten leprous men who ^(M)stood at a distance met Him. ¹³ And they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, ^(N)Master, have mercy on us!” ¹⁴ When He saw them, He said to them, “^(O)Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed. ¹⁵ Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, ^(P)glorifying God with a loud voice, ¹⁶ and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a ^(Q)Samaritan. ¹⁷ Then Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they? ^18 [k]Was there no one found who turned back to ^(R)give glory to God, except this foreigner?” ¹⁹ And He said to him, “Stand up and go; ^(S)your faith has ^[l]saved you.”
