Jesus continues teaching, but he directs his attention back to his disciples. This is still the same part of the story and the same day that began in [Luke 15:3](../15/03.md).

|

# to that person through whom they come
|
|
|
|
"to anyone who causes the temptations to come" or "to any person who causes people to be tempted"
|
