Jesus Warns of Offenses

1 Then He said to the disciples, a“It is impossible that no offenses should come, but bwoe to him through whom they do come!  
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should1 offend one of these little ones.  
3 Take heed to yourselves. aIf your brother sins against you, brebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.  
4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns1 to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”  

Faith and Duty

5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
6 aSo the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.  
7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
