New Testament in a Year

17 ¶ Then he said unto the disciples, It is impossible that offenses will not come, but woe unto the one through whom they come!

² It would be better for him if a millstone turned by an ass were placed around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

³ Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother should trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

⁴ And if he trespasses against thee seven times in a day and seven times in a day turns again to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.

⁵ And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

⁶ And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamore tree, Pluck thyself up by the root, and plant thyself in the sea, and it would obey you.

⁷ But which of you, having a slave plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by when he is come from the field, Go and sit down at the table?

⁸ And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup and gird thyself and serve me until I have eaten and drunken, and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

⁹ Does he thank that slave because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.

¹⁰ So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable slaves: we have done that which was our duty to do.

¹¹ ¶ And it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as he entered into a certain village, ten men that were lepers met him, who stood afar off

¹³ and lifted up their voices and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

¹⁴ When he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass that as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁵ Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back and with a loud voice glorified God

¹⁶ and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

¹⁸ Were there not found any returning to give glory to God, except this stranger?

¹⁹ And he said unto him, Arise, go; thy faith has saved thee.
