Luke 17:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 17:7

Faith and Duty

5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

6 ^aSo the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

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 ^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.’ ”
