'Slave' in the Bible

and saying, "Lord, my slave is lying paralyzed in my house, terribly tormented!"

And the centurion answered [and] said, "Lord, I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof. But only say the word and my slave will be healed.

For I also am a man under authority who has soldiers under me, and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another one, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does [it]."

And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go, as you have believed it will be done for you." And the slave was healed at that hour.

"A disciple is not superior to his teacher, nor a slave superior to his master.

[It is] enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household?

Then the slave threw himself to the ground [and] began to do obeisance to him, saying, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay back everything to you!'

So the master of that slave, [because he] had compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.

But that slave went out [and] found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii, and taking hold of him, he began to choke [him], saying, 'Pay back everything that you owe!'

Then his fellow slave threw himself to the ground [and] began to implore him, saying, 'Be patient with me and I will repay you!'

Then his master summoned him [and] said to him, 'Wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you implored me!

Should you not also have shown mercy to your fellow slave as I also showed mercy to you?'

and whoever wants to be most prominent among you must be your slave--

"Who then is the faithful and wise slave whom the master has put in charge of his household slaves to give them their food at the right time?

Blessed [is] that slave whom his master will find so doing [when he] comes back.

But if that evil slave should say {to himself}, 'My master is staying away for a long time,'

the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and at an hour that he does not know,

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few [things]; I will put you [in charge] over many [things]. Enter into the joy of your master!'

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few [things]; I will put you [in charge] over many [things]. Enter into the joy of your master!'

But his master answered [and] said to him, 'Evil and lazy slave! You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather from where I did not scatter [seed].

And throw the worthless slave into the outer darkness--in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!'

And behold, one of those with Jesus extended his hand [and] drew his sword, and striking the slave of the high priest, cut off his ear.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a female slave came up to him [and] said, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean."

And [when he] went out to the gateway, another [female slave] saw him and said to those [who were] there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."
