Luca 17:9

Listen to Luca 17:9
9 Si ritiene egli forse obbligato al suo servo perché ha fatto le cose comandategli?

Luca 17:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 17:9

Doth he thank that servant
As if he had done him a favour, and what he was not obliged to;

because he did the things that were commanded him?
for, as a servant, he ought to do them, and in so doing does but his duty: he may indeed be commended for it, but not thanked:

I trow not;
or "I think not"; it do not seem so to me, as if he would, or, as though it was proper and necessary he should. The Ethiopic version leaves out this last clause.

Luca 17:9 In-Context

7 Or chi di voi, avendo un servo ad arare o pascere, quand’ei torna a casa dai campi, gli dirà: Vieni presto a metterti a tavola?
8 Non gli dirà invece: Preparami la cena, e cingiti a servirmi finch’io abbia mangiato e bevuto, e poi mangerai e berrai tu?
9 Si ritiene egli forse obbligato al suo servo perché ha fatto le cose comandategli?
10 Così anche voi, quand’avrete fatto tutto ciò che v’è comandato, dite: Noi siamo servi inutili; abbiam fatto quel ch’eravamo in obbligo di fare.
11 Ed avvenne che, nel recarsi a Gerusalemme, egli passava sui confini della Samaria e della Galilea.
