Old/New Testament

Woe To The One Who Causes Others To Fall. Rebuke Sin In Your Brother. Forgive

17 And He said to His disciples, “It is impossible that the causes-of-falling should not^[a] come. Nevertheless, woe to the one through whom they come. ² It would be better for him if a mill’s stone were lying-around his neck and he had been^[b] thrown-off into the sea, than that he should cause one of these^[c] little ones to fall. ³ Take heed to yourselves— If your brother sins, rebuke him. And if he repents, forgive him. ⁴ And if he sins against you seven times in the day, and returns to you seven times saying ‘I repent’, forgive him”.

The Apostles Ask For More Faith. The Smallest Amount Is Enough

⁵ The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase faith for us”. ⁶ And the Lord said, “If you have faith like a seed^[d] of a mustard-plant, you would say to this mulberry-tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’, and it would have obeyed you. ⁷ And who from-among you is there who, having a slave plowing or shepherding, will say to him having come in from the field, ‘Immediately having come-to the table, fall back [to eat]!’? ⁸ But will he not say to him, ‘Prepare something I may have-for-dinner. And having girded-yourself, be serving me until I eat and drink. And after these things, you will eat and drink’? ⁹ He does not have gratitude^[e] for the slave because he did the things having been commanded, does he? ¹⁰ So also you, when you do all the things having been commanded to you, be saying that ‘We are unprofitable^[f] slaves. We have done what we were obligated to do’”.

Jesus Heals Ten Lepers. One Returns To Give Thanks

¹¹ And it came about during the proceeding to Jerusalem that He was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. ¹² And while He was entering into a certain village, ten leprous men met Him, who stood at-a-distance. ¹³ And they lifted their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master, have-mercy-on us!” ¹⁴ And having seen them, He said to them, “Having gone, show yourselves to the priests”. And it came about during their going that they were cleansed. ¹⁵ And one of them, having seen that he was healed, returned glorifying God with a loud voice. ¹⁶ And he fell on his face at His feet while giving-thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And having responded, Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? ¹⁸ Were none found having returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” ¹⁹ And He said to him, “Having arisen, go. Your faith has restored you”.
