1And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.
1And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come. But woe to him through whom they come!
2It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.
2It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones.
3Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.
3Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him.
4And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.
4And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying: I repent: forgive him.
5And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.

6And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.
6And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree: Be thou rooted up and be thou transplanted into the sea. And it would obey you.
7But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,
7But which of you, having a servant ploughing or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go. Sit down to meat.
8Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?
8And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper and gird thyself and serve me, whilst I eat and drink; and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink?
9Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?
9Doth he thank that servant for doing the things which he commanded him?
10In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.
10I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.

16And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.
16And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks. And this was a Samaritan.
17And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?
17And Jesus answering, said: Were not ten made clean? And where are the nine?
18Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?
