Luke 17:5-10 - Faith And Duty

5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Give us more faith!"

6 The Lord said, "If you had faith the size of a grain of mustard-seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

7 Which of you, with a servant out ploughing or shepherding, will say to him when he comes in from the field, 'Come at once and take your place at table'? 8 Will the man not rather say to him, 'Get some thing ready for my supper; gird yourself and wait on me till I eat and drink; then you can eat and drink yourself'? 9 Does he thank the servant for doing his bidding? 10 Well, it is the same with you; when you have done all you are bidden, say, 'We are but servants; we have only done our duty.'
