Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches his disciples concerning offenses, meekness, and humility (in peraea)
AND he said to his disciples, It is inevitable that offenses should come; but woe to him by whom they come; it would be profitable for him if a millstone was placed around his neck, and he was cast into the sea, rather than that he should offend one of these little ones. Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sins, reprove him; and if he changes his mind, forgive him; read more.
and if he sins against you seven times in a day, and turn seven times, saying, I change my mind, you shall forgive him. And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith. And the Lord said, If you had a faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this sycamore tree, Be taken up by the roots and planted in the sea, and it would obey you. But which of you having a servant plowing, or keeping sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the field, Come immediately and sit down? but will he not say to him, Prepare something that I may take supper, and gird yourself and wait on me till I eat and drink, and after that do you eat and drink? Does he thank the servant because he did the things commanded him? So also you, when you have done all things commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; what we owed the doing of; we have done.

Whoever humbles himself like this little child, shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven; and whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me; but whoever offends one of these little ones that believe in me, it would be better for him that a millstone should be hung to his neck, and that he should be plunged into the depths of the sea.

And John spoke to him, saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in your name, who follows not us, and we forbade him. And Jesus said, Forbid him not; for no one will perform a mighty work in my name, and be able lightly to speak evil of me. For whoever is not against us is for us; read more.
and whoever gives you a cup of water because you are Christ's, truly he shall not lose his reward. And whoever shall offend one of the little ones having faith, it would be better for him if a millstone was put about his neck and he was cast into the sea.
