Luke 17:10
Compare all
8 But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself aand 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 commanded1 him? I think not.  
10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are aunprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ ”  

Ten Lepers Cleansed

11 Now it happened aas He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.  
12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, awho stood afar off.  
13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

Luke 17:10

When ye have done all, say, We are unprofitable servants - For a man cannot profit God. Happy is he who judges himself an unprofitable servant: miserable is he whom God pronounces such. But though we are unprofitable to him, our serving him is not unprofitable to us. For he is pleased to give by his grace a value to our good works, which in consequence of his promise entitles us to an eternal reward.
