Luke 17:1-19.
Luke 17:1-19 (GNT)
1 "Jesus said to his disciples, "Things that make people fall into sin
are bound to happen, but how terrible for the one who makes them
happen! 2 It would be better for him if a large millstone were tied
around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause
one of these little ones to sin. 3 So watch what you do! If your
brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. 4 If he sins
against you seven times in one day, and each time he comes to you
saying, "I repent," you must forgive him. " 5 The apostles said to the
Lord, "Make our faith greater." 6 The Lord answered, "If you had faith
as big as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, "Pull
yourself up by the roots and plant yourself in the sea!" and it would
obey you. 7 Suppose one of you has a servant who is plowing or looking
after the sheep. When he comes in from the field, do you tell him to
hurry along and eat his meal? 8 Of course not! Instead, you say to
him, "Get my supper ready, then put on your apron and wait on me while
I eat and drink; after that you may have your meal." 9 The servant
does not deserve thanks for obeying orders, does he? 10 It is the same
with you; when you have done all you have been told to do, say, "We
are ordinary servants; we have only done our duty." " 11 As Jesus made
his way to Jerusalem, he went along the border between Samaria and
Galilee. 12 He was going into a village when he was met by ten men
suffering from a dreaded skin disease. They stood at a distance 13 and
shouted, "Jesus! Master! Have pity on us!" 14 Jesus saw them and said
to them, "Go and let the priests examine you." On the way they were
made clean. 15 When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back,
praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself to the ground at
Jesus' feet and thanked him. The man was a Samaritan. 17 Jesus spoke
up, "There were ten who were healed; where are the other nine? 18 Why
is this foreigner the only one who came back to give thanks to God? "
19 And Jesus said to him, "Get up and go; your faith has made you
well."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ die on
the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days later you
resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into my heart as
my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
