Luke 17:1-7

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Luke 17:1-7

1Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
2It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
5The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
6And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.
7Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
— Luke 17:1-7
