The Master and Servant

The Master and Servant

The Parable of the Master and Servant was given by Jesus in the New Testament (Luke). It immediately follows the Parable of the Mustard Seed

From Luke 17:7-10:quotation|But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
Parables of Jesus
