3 Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him.
3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
4 And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying, I 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.”

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:

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?
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’?
9 Doth he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him?
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.
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.’”

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.
15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
16 And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan.
16 He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine?
17 Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.
18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
19 And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.
19 Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”
20 And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come? he answered them, and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

25 But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The Holy Gospel which we heard just now as it was being read, has admonished touching the remission of sins. And on this subject must ye be admonished now by my discourse.

But if thou thinkest that thou really art faithful, but hast not yet the fulness of faith, thou too hast need to say like the Apostles, Lord, increase our faith: for some part thou hast of thyself, but the greater part thou receivest from Him.
