3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
Take heed to yourselves: If your brother trespass against you, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
And if he trespass against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to you, saying, I repent; you shall forgive him.

And the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this sycamine tree, Be you plucked up by the root, and be you planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
7 But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table’?
But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say to him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
8 Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
And will not rather say to him, Make ready with which I may sup, and gird yourself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward you shall eat and drink?
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
10 Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”
So likewise you, when you shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

16 He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”

And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

And they answered and said to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Wherever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
