Luke 17:5-10

Modern English Version

⁵ The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

⁶ The Lord said, “If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

⁷ “Which of you, having a servant plowing or herding sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come now and sit down for dinner’? ⁸ Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare my supper, and dress yourself and serve me until I eat and drink. And afterward you will eat and drink’? ⁹ Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? I think not. ¹⁰ So you also, when you have done everything commanded you, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done our duty.’ ”
