Luke 17:2 - People's Commentary (NT)

Luke 17:2

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.
