LK 17:5-10 Jesus answers the disciples’ plea, “Increase our faith!” by declaring that even a mustard‑seed of trust can move mountains, and that authentic faith finds its fruit in humble service. He then reminds them that the faithful servant, after completing his duties, should simply say, “We are unworthy slaves who have done what was required,” showing that discipleship is not about reward but about obedient love — the very spirit of Christian service.

LK 17:11-19 On the way to Jerusalem, ten lepers stood at a distance, crying, “Master, have mercy on us!” (Lk 17:12‑13). Jesus told them to go show themselves to the priests, and as they obeyed, they were healed (Lk 17:14). Only one, a Samaritan, returned, fell at Jesus’ feet, and gave thanks, prompting Jesus to say, “Your faith has made you whole” (Lk 17:15‑19). The passage teaches that obedience, faith, and gratitude are inseparable marks of true discipleship in the Christian life.
