And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’
-
He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’
-
and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.”

When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place.
-
When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit.
-
And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them.
-

-
while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
-
Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy.

Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
-
And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.
-
It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake.
-
Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them.
-
If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants!

I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’
-
But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.
-
And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.
-
Unworthy Servants
“Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’?
-
So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’”

Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I come.’

When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business.

His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
-
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
-
When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom
-
As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was recovering.
-
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”

-
Greeting
Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:
-
Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.
-
Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust.

-
The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
-
for his judgments are true and just; for he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”
-
And from the throne came a voice saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great.”
-
No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him.
