Luke 17:2 In-Context

1 He said to his disciples, "Hard trials and temptations are bound to come, but too bad for whoever brings them on!

2 Better to wear a millstone necklace and take a swim in the deep blue sea than give even one of these dear little ones a hard time!

3 "Be alert. If you see your friend going wrong, correct him. If he responds, forgive him.

4 Even if it's personal against you and repeated seven times through the day, and seven times he says, 'I'm sorry, I won't do it again,' forgive him."

5 The apostles came up and said to the Master, "Give us more faith."
