New Testament

Luke 17:3-16 Modern English Version (MEV)

3. Take heed to yourselves.“If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. And if he repents, forgive him.

4. If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5. The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

6. The Lord said, “If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

7. “Which of you, having a servant plowing or herding sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come now and sit down for dinner’?

8. Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare my supper, and dress yourself and serve me until I eat and drink. And afterward you will eat and drink’?

9. Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? I think not.

10. So you also, when you have done everything commanded you, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done our duty.’ ”

11. As Jesus went to Jerusalem, He passed between Samaria and Galilee.

12. As He entered a village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood at a distance.

13. They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”

14. When He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.

15. One of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned with a loud voice glorifying God,

16. and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
