Unworthy Servants

Luke 17

⁷ "And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down to eat'? ⁸ "But will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself _f and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink'? ⁹ "Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded ₁ him? I think not. ¹⁰ "So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, 'We are _g unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.' "
