17:3 Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him.

17:7 But 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:
17:8 And 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?
17:9 Doth he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him?

17:11 And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

17:13 And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, master, have mercy on us.
17:14 Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean.
17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.

17:23 And they will say to you: See here, and see there. Go ye not after, nor follow them:
