New TestamentLukeHow Often One Should Forgive a Brother · 17:3–1017:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.17:4 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.17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.17:6 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.17:7 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?17:8 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?17:9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.17:10 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.
