Luke 17:9
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’?
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.’”
11 While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
