What did Jesus tell His disciples to do if someone repents after sinning against them?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Forgive them
Luke 17:3-4 instructs believers to rebuke someone who sins, but to forgive that person as often as they turn back and repent. Repentance is to be met with forgiveness rather than with demands for restitution or a complaint to the community.
