Context
Sin, Forgiveness, Faith, and Service
17:1 Jesus said to his disciples , “Stumbling blocks are sure to come , but woe to the one through whom they come !
17:2 It would be better for him to have a millstone tied around his neck and be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
17:3 Watch yourselves ! If your brother sins , rebuke him . If he repents , forgive him .
17:4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day , and seven times returns to you saying , ‘I repent ,’ you must forgive him .”
17:5 The apostles said to the Lord , “Increase our faith !”
17:6 So the Lord replied , “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed , you could say to this black mulberry tree , ‘Be pulled out by the roots and planted in the sea ,’ and it would obey you .
