Luke 17:2 In-Context

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."
