Luke 17:9 in context

  1. 7But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table,’
  2. 8and will not rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
  3. 9Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
  4. 10Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’ ”
  5. 11As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
