and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress."

But the centurion answered him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But only say the word, and my servant will be healed.

For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."

Then to the centurion Jesus said, "Go; be it done for you as you have believed." And his servant was healed at that very hour.

"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!

"Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased! I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

So the servant fell on his knees before him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.'

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

But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe.'

So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.'

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

Should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?'

Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you must be your servant.

He who is greatest among you shall be your servant.

"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,

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.'

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.'

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 cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."
