'Servants' in the Bible

Enough for the learner to be on a level with his teacher, and for the servant to be on a level with his master. If they have called the master of the house Baal-zebul, how much more will they slander his servants?

"For this reason the Kingdom of the Heavens may be compared to a king who determined to have a settlement of accounts with his servants.

When vintage-time approached, he sent his servants to the vine-dressers to receive his share of the grapes;

but the vine-dressers seized the servants, and one they cruelly beat, one they killed, one they pelted with stones.

Again he sent another party of servants more numerous than the first; and these they treated in the same manner.

and sent his servants to call the invited guests to the wedding, but they were unwilling to come.

"Again he sent other servants with a message to those who were invited. "'My breakfast is now ready," he said, 'my bullocks and fat cattle are killed, and every preparation is made: come to the wedding.'

and the rest seized the king's servants, maltreated them, and murdered them.

Then he said to his servants, "'The wedding banquet is ready, but those who were invited were unworthy of it.

"The man stood speechless. Then the king said to the servants, "'Bind him hand and foot and fling him into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.'

"After a long lapse of time the master of those servants returned, and had a reckoning with them.
