'Servants' in the Bible

"The owner's servants came and asked him, "Master, you sowed good seed in your field, didn't you? Then where did these weeds come from?'

"He told them, "An enemy did this!' "The servants asked him, "Do you want us to go and pull them out?'

told his servants, "This is John the Baptist! He has been raised from the dead, and that's why these miracles are being done by him."

"That is why the kingdom from heaven may be compared to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

When harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenant farmers to collect his produce.

But the farmers took his servants and beat one, killed another, and attacked another with stones.

Again, he sent other servants to them, a greater number than the first, but the tenant farmers treated them the same way.

He sent his servants to call those who had been invited to the wedding, but they refused to come.

So he sent other servants after saying, "Tell those who have been invited, "Look! I've prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened calves have been slaughtered. Everything is ready. Come to the wedding!"'

The rest grabbed the king's servants, treated them brutally, and then killed them.

"Then he told his servants, "The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

Those servants went out into the streets and brought in everyone they found, evil and good alike, and the wedding hall was packed with guests.

Then the king told his servants, "Tie his hands and feet, and throw him into the darkness outside!' In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth,

"Similarly, it is like a man going on a trip, who called his servants and turned his money over to them.

"After a long time, the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.

Peter, however, followed him at a distance as far as the high priest's courtyard. He went inside and sat down with the servants to see how this would end.
