"A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!

And as he was not able to pay, his master ordered that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.

The master of that servant took pity on him, released him, and forgave him the debt.

When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and went and told their master all that had happened.

Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.

And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one Master, and you are all brethren.

"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?

Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing.

But if that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,'

the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of,

But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground, and hid his master's money.

Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

So he who had received the five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents.'

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.'

He also who had received the two talents came and said, 'Master, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents.'

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.'

Then he who had received the one talent came and said, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

But his master answered him, 'You wicked and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed?

And Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" And the blind man said to him, "Master, let me receive my sight."

Watch thereforefor you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning

And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and caught nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets."

And they went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" Then he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

And Jesus said, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the multitudes surround you and press upon you!"

As the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"not knowing what he said.

Now John answered, "Master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us."

and be like men who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding feast, so that they may open to him immediately when he comes and knocks.

Blessed are those servants whom the master finds watching when he comes. Truly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit at table, and will come and serve them.

And the Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?

Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

But if that servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed in coming,' and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,

the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour he is not aware of, and he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not ready himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

So the servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in the poor and the maimed, the blind and the lame.'

Then the master said to the servant, 'Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

The steward said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the stewardship away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.

So he called in each one of his master's debtors, and he said to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'

So the master commended the dishonest steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.

And they lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

Then came the first, saying, ' Master, your mina has earned ten minas more.'

And the second came, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned five minas.'

Then another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I have kept laid away in a handkerchief;

And they said to him, 'Master, he has ten minas already!'

He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the master of the feast." So they took it.

When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it had come from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will be made to stand, for the Master is able to make him stand.

According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

Masters, do the same to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.

Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

If anyone cleanses himself from what is ignoble, he will be a vessel for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

but hospitable, a lover of what is good, master of himself, upright, holy, and self-controlled;

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.

For certain persons have crept in secretly, those who were long ago marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
