Luke 17:5-10

The Power of Faith

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

6 And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

7 Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?

8 Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you may eat and drink’?

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

10 So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”
