NARRATOR: Jesus’ disciples asked him:
DISCIPLES: Increase our faith.
JESUS 1: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this sycamore tree, “Be uprooted and transplanted into the sea,” and it will obey you.
JESUS 2: If one of you has a servant who comes in from plowing or herding sheep, what will you say?
MASTER: Come, sit down, and take your place at the table.
JESUS 1: No, this is what you will say.
MASTER: Prepare my dinner. Tie up your tunic and serve me while I eat and drink. You can eat and drink afterwards.
JESUS 2: Should the master feel grateful to the servant who was only doing the expected work? So it is with you. When you have done all the things you have been commanded to do, say, “We are useless servants. We have only done our duty.”
Luke 17.5-10
