Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches his disciples concerning offenses, meekness, and humility (in peraea)
And he said to his disciples, It is impossible for the stumbling-blocks not to come, but woe to him through whom they come! It is better for him if a donkey-powered millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble. Take heed to yourselves. And if thy brother should sin against thee, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. read more.
And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times in the day turn back, saying, I repent, thou will forgive him. And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase faith for us. And the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard plant, ye would say to this sycamine tree, Be thou uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you. But which of you having a bondman plowing or feeding livestock, who, when he comes in from the field, will straightaway say, After coming near, sit down? Will he not rather say to him, Prepare what I may dine, and having gird thyself, serve me until I eat and drink, and after these things thou will eat and drink? Does he have a favor for that bondman because he did the things that were commanded? I think not. Thus ye also, when ye did all the things that were commanded you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen, because we have done what we are obligated to do.

Offense » Those that offend people who believe in Christ
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greater in the kingdom of the heavens? And having called in a child, Jesus set it in the midst of them.

He therefore who will make himself lowly as this child, this man is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens. And whoever will receive one such child in my name receives me. But whoever may cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it is advantageous for him that a donkey-powered millstone were hanged on his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

And John answered him, saying, Teacher, we saw a certain man, who does not follow us, casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not, for there is no man who will do a mighty work in my name, and will be able quickly to speak evil of me. For he who is not against you is for you. read more.
For whoever may give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye are of Christ, truly I say to you, he will, no, not lose his reward.
