7 "Will any one of you, who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep,
say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down
at table? 8 Will he not rather say to him, `Prepare supper for me,
and gird yourself and serve me, till I eat and drink; and afterward you
shall eat and drink? 9 Does he thank the servant because he did what
was commanded?
10 So you also, when you have done all that is commanded you, say, `We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty." |
