Thematic Bible: Teaches his disciples concerning offenses, meekness, and humility (in peraea)

And he said unto his disciples: - It is, impossible, that occasions of stumbling should not come, notwithstanding, alas! for him through whom they do come: It profiteth him, if, a mill-stone, is hung about his neck, and he is cast into the sea, than that he cause, one, of these little ones, to stumble. Be taking heed to yourselves, - If thy brother sin, rebuke him, and, if he repent, forgive him; read more.
Even if, seven times a day, he sin against thee, and, seven times, turn to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him. And the apostles said unto the Lord - Bestow on us faith! And the Lord said - If ye have faith like a grain of mustard-seed, ye should be saying unto thismulberry-tree - Be uprooted! and be planted in the sea, - and it should obey you. But, who from among you, having, a servant, plowing or keeping sheep, when he hath come in out of the field, will say to him - Straightway, come, and recline; - on the contrary, will not say to him - Make somewhat ready, that I may dine, - and, girding thyself, be ministering unto me, until I have eaten and drunk; and, after these things, thou, shalt eat and drink? Doth he offer thanks unto the servant, because he hath done the things enjoined? Thus, ye also, when ye have done all the things enjoined upon you, say - Unprofitable servants, are we, - What we were bound to do, we have done!
