received your good things, and Lazarus, in like manner, bad things.
But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
016:026 Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed,
that those who want to pass from here to you are not able,
and that none may cross over from there to us.'
016:027 "He said, 'I ask you therefore, father, that you would send
him to my father's house;
016:028 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them,
so they won't also come into this place of torment.'
016:029 "But Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets.
Let them listen to them.'
016:030 "He said, 'No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from
the dead, they will repent.'
016:031 "He said to him, 'If they don't listen to Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.'"
017:001 He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions
of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
017:002 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around
his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that
he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
017:003 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him.
If he repents, forgive him.
017:004 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven

'Come immediately and sit down at the table,'
017:008 and will not rather tell him, 'Prepare my supper,
clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink.
Afterward you shall eat and drink'?
017:009 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that
were commanded? I think not.
017:010 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.'"
017:011 It happened as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that he was
passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
017:012 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers
met him, who stood at a distance.
017:013 They lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master,
have mercy on us!"
017:014 When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to
