New Testament in a Year
17 And Jesus said to his disciples, It is impossible that causes of stumbling come not; but woe to that man, by whom they come. [And he said to his disciples, It is impossible that offences come not; but woe to him, by whom they come.]
2 It is more profitable to him, if a millstone be put about his neck, and he be cast into the sea, than that he cause to stumble one of these little [than that he offend one of these little].
3 Take ye heed to yourselves [Take heed to yourselves]; if thy brother hath sinned against thee, blame him; and if he do penance, forgive him.
4 And if seven times in the day he do sin against thee, and seven times in the day he be converted to thee, and say, It repenteth me, forgive thou him.[a]
5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase to us faith [Increase faith to us].
6 And the Lord said, If ye have faith as the corn of mustard seed [If ye had faith as a corn of mustard seed], ye shall say to this (syca)more tree, Be thou drawn up by the root, and be over-planted into the sea [and be thou planted over into the sea], and it shall obey to you.
7 But who of you hath a servant plowing, or pasturing oxen, which saith to him, when he turneth again from the field, At once go, and sit to meat;[b]
8 and saith not to him, Make ready, that I sup, and gird thee, and serve me, while I eat and drink, and after this thou shalt eat and drink; [and not saith to him, Make ready, that I sup, and gird thee before, and minister to me, till that I eat and drink, and after these things thou shalt eat and drink;]
9 whether he hath grace to that servant, for he did that that he commanded him? Nay, I guess.
10 So [also] ye, when ye have done all things that be commanded to you, say ye [say], We be unprofitable servants, we have done that that we ought to do.
11 And it was done, the while Jesus went to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria, and Galilee.
12 And when he entered into a castle [And when he entered into some castle], ten leprous men came to meet him, which stood afar,
13 and raised their voice [and lifted up their voice], and said, Jesus, Commander, have mercy on us.
14 And as he saw them, he said [Whom, when he saw, he said], Go, show ye you to the priests. And it was done, while they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, as he saw that he was cleansed, went again, magnifying God with a great voice.
16 And he fell down on the face before his feet, and did thankings [doing graces, or thankings]; and this was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answered, and said [Forsooth Jesus answering said], Whether ten be not cleansed, and where be the nine?
18 There is none found, that turned again, and gave glory to God, but this alien [but this alien, or stranger].
19 And he said to him, Rise up, go thou; for thy faith hath made thee safe.
