Luke 17:8 in Context — Luke 17

6 E o Senhor disse: Se tivésseis fé como um grão de mostarda, diríeis a esta árvore de amoras: Arranca-te daqui pelas tuas raízes, e planta-te no mar, ela vos obedeceria.

7 E qual de vós terá um servo, lavrando ou apascentando [gado] que, voltando do campo, logo lhe diga: Chega, e senta [à mesa] .

8 E não lhe diga antes: Prepara-me o jantar, e apronta-te, e serve-me, até que eu tenha comido e bebido; e depois, que tu comas e bebas.

9 Por acaso [o senhor] agradece a tal servo, porque fez o que lhe foi mandado? Acho que não.

10 Assim também vós, quando fizerdes tudo o que vos for mandado, dizei: Somos servos inúteis, porque fizemos [somente] o que devíamos fazer.
