3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother
trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he
repent, forgive him.
4 And if he trespass against thee seven times
in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to
thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord,
Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain
of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine
tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou
planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or
feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when
he is come from the field, Go and sit down to
meat?
8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready
wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve
me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward
thou shalt eat and drink?
9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the
things that were commanded him? I trow not.
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all
those things which are commanded you, say, We
are unprofitable servants: we have done that
which was our duty to do.
11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem,
that he passed through the midst of Samaria and
Galilee.
12 And as he entered into a certain village,
there met him ten men that were lepers,
which stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said,
Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them,
Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came
to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was
healed, turned back, and with a loud voice
glorified God,
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving
him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not
ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 There are not found that returned to give
glory to God, save this stranger.
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way:
thy faith hath made thee whole.
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees,
when the kingdom of God should come, he
answered them and said, The kingdom of God
cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!
for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
-Luke 17:3-21
