and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented."

And the centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and tell my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."

And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." And his servant was healed in that hour.

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

It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household.

"Look, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him. And he will proclaim justice to the nations.

The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'

The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

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

"So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'

It shall not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you must be your servant.

But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.

"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.

But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delayed,'

the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour when he does not know it,

"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

"But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter.

Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where 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, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

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