Occasions of Offence. The Ten Lepers. The Second Advent

1, 2. On causing others to sin. See on Matthew 18:6; Matthew 18:7.

2, One of these little ones] An affectionate designation of the disciples, especially such as were beginners and easily led astray. Perhaps the converted publicans and sinners of Luke 15:1 are specially meant.

3, 4. The duty of forgiveness. We are to forgive an unlimited number of times, yet we may rebuke in love: cp. Leviticus 19:17. See on Matthew 18:15; Matthew 18:21.
