Luke 17:9 Context
7But which of you hauing a seruant plowing, or feeding cattell, will say vnto him by & by when he is come from the field, Goe and sit downe to meate? 8And will not rather say vnto him, Make ready wherewith I may suppe, and gird thy selfe, and serue me, till I haue eaten and drunken: and afterward thou shalt eate and drinke. 9Doeth he thanke that seruant, because hee did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. 10So likewise ye, when ye shal haue done all those things which are commanded you, say, Wee are vnprofitable seruants: Wee haue done that which was our duety to doe. 11¶ And it came to passe, as he went to Hierusalem, that hee passed thorow the mids of Samaria and Galile.
