"We are useless servants: we have done no more than our duty."  

Luke 17:7-10

⁷ 'Which of you, with a servant ploughing or minding sheep, would say to him when he returned from the fields, "Come and have your meal at once"?

⁸ Would he not be more likely to say, "Get my supper ready; fasten your belt and wait on me while I eat and drink. You yourself can eat and drink afterwards"?

⁹ Must he be grateful to the servant for doing what he was told?

¹⁰ So with you: when you have done all you have been told to do, say, "We are useless servants: we have done no more than our duty." '
