Luke 17:2 In-Context

1 Jesus said to his disciples, "Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come!

2 It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3 Be on your guard! If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive.

4 And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says, "I repent,' you must forgive."

5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
