New Testament

Luke 17:3-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

3. Be attentive to yourselves. If your brother has sinned against you, correct him. And if he has repented, forgive him.

4. And if he has sinned against you seven times a day, and seven times a day has turned back to you, saying, 'I am sorry,' then forgive him."

5. And the Apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."

6. But the Lord said: "If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you may say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted, and be transplanted into the sea.' And it would obey you.

7. But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, would say to him, as he was returning from the field, 'Come in immediately; sit down to eat,'

8. and would not say to him: 'Prepare my dinner; gird yourself and minister to me, while I eat and drink; and after these things, you shall eat and drink?'

9. Would he be grateful to that servant, for doing what he commanded him to do?

10. I think not. So too, when you have done all these things that have been taught to you, you should say: 'We are useless servants. We have done what we should have done.' "

11. And it happened that, while he was traveling to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12. And as he was entering a certain town, ten leprous men met him, and they stood at a distance.
