Luke 17:2 in Context — Luke 17
1 Jésus dit à ses disciples: Il est impossible qu’il n’arrive pas des scandales; mais malheur à celui par qui ils arrivent!
2 Il vaudrait mieux pour lui qu’on mît à son cou une pierre de moulin et qu’on le jetât dans la mer, que s’il scandalisait un de ces petits.
3 Prenez garde à vous-mêmes.Si ton frère a péché, reprends-le; et, s’il se repent, pardonne-lui.
4 Et s’il a péché contre toi sept fois dans un jour et que sept fois il revienne à toi, disant: Je me repens, tu lui pardonneras.
