Luke 17:5-10 - Faith And Duty

⁵ "Give us more faith," said the Apostles to the Master;

⁶ But the Master said: "If your faith were only like a mustard- seed, you could say to this mulberry tree 'Be up-rooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

⁷ Which of you, if he had a servant ploughing, or tending the sheep, would say to him, when he came in from the fields, 'Come at once and take your place at table,' ⁸ Instead of saying 'Prepare my dinner, and then make yourself ready and wait on me while I am eating and drinking, and after that you shall eat and drink yourself'? ⁹ Does he feel grateful to his servant for doing what he is told? ¹⁰ And so with you--when you have done all that you have been told, still say 'We are but useless servants; we have done no more than we ought to have done.'"
