Luke 17:2 In-Context

1 Jesus said to His disciples, "It is inevitable that causes of stumbling should come; but alas for him through whom they come!

2 It would be well for him if, with a millstone round his neck, he were lying at the bottom of the sea, rather than that he should cause even one of these little ones to fall.

3 Be on your guard. "If your brother acts wrongly, reprove him; and if he is sorry, forgive him;

4 and if seven times in a day he acts wrongly towards you, and seven times turns again to you and says, `I am sorry,' you must forgive him."

5 And the Apostles said to the Lord, "Give us faith."
