Teachings about Forgiveness and Faith
One day Jesus said to his disciples, “There will always be temptations to sin, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting!
One day Jesus said to his disciples, “There will always be temptations to sin, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting!
It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin.
Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him,
Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive.”
and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
The apostles said to the Lord, “Show us how to increase our faith.”
Increase Our Faith
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
The Lord answered, “If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘May you be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you!

“When a servant comes in from plowing or taking care of sheep, does his master say, ‘Come in and eat with me’?
No, he says, ‘Prepare my meal, put on your apron, and serve me while I eat. Then you can eat later.’
And does the master thank the servant for doing what he was told to do? Of course not.
Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded?
In the same way, when you obey me you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.’”

crying out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”
When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed.
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God!”
Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice;
He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan.
and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan.
Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine?
Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”
Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”
The Coming of the Kingdom
Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed,
Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed,
And he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
People will tell you, ‘Look, there is the Son of Man,’ or ‘Here he is,’ but don’t go out and follow them.
And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them.
But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
“When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day.
Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
In those days, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came and destroyed them all.
They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
“And the world will be as it was in the days of Lot. People went about their daily business — eating and drinking, buying and selling, farming and building —
Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot — they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building,
until the morning Lot left Sodom. Then fire and burning sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all —
Yes, it will be ‘business as usual’ right up to the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
On that day a person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. A person out in the field must not return home.
On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back.
If you cling to your life, you will lose it, and if you let your life go, you will save it.
Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.
That night two people will be asleep in one bed; one will be taken, the other left.
I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left.
