Luke 17:8 in Context — Luke 17

6 Et le Seigneur dit: Si vous aviez de la foi comme un grain de sénevé, vous diriez à ce sycomore: Déracine-toi, et plante-toi dans la mer; et il vous obéirait.

7 Qui de vous, ayant un serviteur qui laboure ou paît les troupeaux, lui dira, quand il revient des champs: Approche vite, et mets-toi à table?

8 Ne lui dira-t-il pas au contraire: Prépare-moi à souper, ceins-toi, et sers-moi, jusqu’à ce que j’aie mangé et bu; après cela, toi, tu mangeras et boiras?

9 Doit-il de la reconnaissance à ce serviteur parce qu’il a fait ce qui lui était ordonné?

10 Vous de même, quand vous avez fait tout ce qui vous a été ordonné, dites: Nous sommes des serviteurs inutiles, nous avons fait ce que nous devions faire.
