Luke 17: 1-6 - 'If your brother does wrong, reprove him.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 2287 (In 'Scandal') - Anyone who uses the power at his disposal in such a way that it leads others to do wrong becomes guilty of scandal and responsible for the evil that he has directly or indirectly encouraged. “Temptations to sin are sure to come; but woe to him by whom they come!”

- 2845 (In 'As we forgive those who trespass against us') - There is no limit or measure to this essentially divine forgiveness, whether one speaks of “sins” as in Luke (11:4), or “debts” as in Matthew (6:12). We are always debtors: “Owe no one anything, except to love one another.” (abbreviated)

- 2227 (In 'The Duties of Parents) - Children in turn contribute to the growth in holiness of their parents. Each and everyone should be generous and tireless in forgiving one another for offenses, quarrels, injustices, and neglect. Mutual affection suggests this. The charity of Christ demands it.

- 162 (In 'Perseverance in Faith) - Faith is an entirely free gift that God makes to man. We can lose this priceless gift, as St. Paul indicated to St. Timothy: “Wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting conscience, certain persons have made shipwreck of their faith.” To live, grow, and persevere in the faith until the end we must nourish it with the word of God; we must beg the Lord to increase our faith; it must be “working through charity,” abounding in hope, and rooted in the faith of the Church.

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Gospel Exegesis podcast, the only podcast out there,
0:17.2	which every single day does a proper verse-by-verse exegesis of the scriptures from a
0:22.8	Catholic perspective. So we're all about helping you understand the literal sense of scripture.
0:27.8	What did it mean in its original context? And as Catholics, we have to start with that.
0:32.6	And so today's reading at Mass is Luke chapter 17 verses 1 to 6.
0:38.0	So here's the reading.
0:40.0	Jesus said to his disciples,
0:42.5	Obstacles are sure to come, but alas for the one who provides them.
0:47.6	It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone put around his neck
0:52.3	than that he should lead astray a single one of these
0:55.7	little ones. Watch yourselves. If your brother does something wrong, reprove him, and if he is
1:03.1	sorry, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times a day and seven times comes back to you
1:09.7	and says, I am sorry, you must forgive him.
1:14.8	The apostle said to the Lord, increase our faith. The Lord replied, were your faith the size of a mustard
1:22.5	seed you could say to this mulberry tree, be uprooted and planted in the sea, and it would obey you.
1:31.8	So an interesting reading we have today from the start of Luke chapter 17. What's the context? So at the
1:38.0	moment Jesus is moving from Galilee to Judea, so he's moving south, getting ready for the final phase of his ministry,
1:46.6	and along the way, as he gets closer to Judea, he's doing ministry.
1:50.4	And this takes up a whole lot of the last section of the Gospel of Luke.
1:55.5	Now, the focus on this passage, or the first part of this passage,
1:58.8	is on a group called These Little Ones, and there's been, is on a group called these little ones.
2:02.1	And there's been a lot of discussion about who these little ones would be.
