Lukas 17:1

Listen to Lukas 17:1
1 En Hij zeide tot de discipelen: Het kan niet wezen, dat er geen ergernissen komen; doch wee hem, door welken zij komen;

Lukas 17:1 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 17:1

Then said he unto his disciples
In the Alexandrian copy, and in "three" of Beza's exemplars it is read, "his disciples"; and so read the Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions; that is, Jesus said to his disciples what follows, as the Syriac and Persic versions express, and the latter reads, he said "again". About the time that he delivered the above parable concerning the rich man and Lazarus, he repeated to his disciples what he had before said to them on another occasion, ( Matthew 18:7 )

it is impossible but that offences will come;
considering the decree of God, the malice of Satan, the wickedness of men, the corruption both of their principles and practices. The Ethiopic version renders it, "temptation will come"; that which will be trying to the faith of the saints, and a stumblingblock to weak minds, as reproach and persecution, errors, and heresies, and the evil lives of professors:

but woe [unto him] through whom they come;
(See Gill on Matthew 18:7)

Lukas 17:1 In-Context

1 En Hij zeide tot de discipelen: Het kan niet wezen, dat er geen ergernissen komen; doch wee hem, door welken zij komen;
2 Het zoude hem nuttiger zijn, dat een molensteen om zijn hals gedaan ware, en hij in de zee geworpen, dan dat hij een van deze kleinen zou ergeren.
3 Wacht uzelven. En indien uw broeder tegen u zondigt, zo bestraf hem; en indien het hem leed is, zo vergeef het hem.
4 En indien hij zevenmaal daags tegen u zondigt, en zevenmaal daags tot u wederkeert, zeggende: Het is mij leed; zo zult gij het hem vergeven.
5 En de apostelen zeiden tot den Heere: Vermeerder ons het geloof.
