1 Jesus said to his disciples:There will always be something that causes people to sin. But anyone who causes them to sin is in for trouble. A person who causes even one of my little followers to sin
2 would be better off thrown into the ocean with a heavy stone tied around their neck.
3 So be careful what you do.Correct any followers of mine who sin, and forgive the ones who say they are sorry.
4 Even if one of them ill-treats you seven times in one day and says, “I am sorry,” you should still forgive that person.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Make our faith stronger!”
6 Jesus replied:If you had faith no bigger than a tiny mustard seed, you could tell this mulberry tree to pull itself up, roots and all, and to plant itself in the ocean. And it would!
7 If your servant comes in from ploughing or from taking care of the sheep, would you say, “Welcome! Come on in and have something to eat”?
