Luke 17:5-10

New American Standard Bible 1995

^5 (A)The apostles said to ^(B)the Lord, “Increase our faith!” ⁶ And ^(C)the Lord said, “If you ^[a]had faith like ^(D)a mustard seed, you would say to this ^(E)mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would ^[b]obey you.

⁷ “Which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come immediately and ^[c]sit down to eat’? ⁸ But will he not say to him, ‘^(F)Prepare something for me to eat, and properly ^[d]clothe yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; and ^[e]afterward you ^[f]may eat and drink’? ⁹ He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he? ¹⁰ So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’”
