Luke 17:5-10

Increase Our Faith

5 ¹The apostles said to the Lord, ²“Increase our faith! ”

6 And the Lord said, ³“If you had faith like ⁴a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this ⁵mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea, ’ and it would obey you.

Unworthy Servants

7 “Will any one of you who has a servant^[a] plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’?

8 Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and ⁶dress properly, ^[b] and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?

9 Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded?

10 So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are ⁷unworthy servants; ^[c] we have only done what was our duty. ’”
