Luke 17:7-12 in English

⁷ But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat;

⁸ and will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

⁹ Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded?

¹⁰ Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off:

⁷ But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

⁸ And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

⁹ Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

¹⁰ So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

⁷ But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

⁸ And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

⁹ Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

¹⁰ So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

⁷ Jesus also said, “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing your fields or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you (sg) would not say RHQ, ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’

⁸ Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you (sg) can eat and drink.’

⁹ ◄You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?► RHQ

¹⁰ Similarly, when you (pl) have done everything that God has told you to do, you should say, ‘We (inc) are not worthy of God thanking us { being thanked}. We are only God's servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”

¹¹ As Jesus and his disciples were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through the region between Samaria and Galilee districts.

¹² As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people, they stood at some distance

⁷ But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table’?

⁸ Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?

⁹ Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

¹⁰ Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”

¹¹ As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.

⁷ But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table’?

⁸ Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?

⁹ Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

¹⁰ Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”

¹¹ As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.

⁷ But who is there amongst you, having a servant ploughing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table’?

⁸ Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?

⁹ Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

¹⁰ Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”

¹¹ As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.

⁷ But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,

⁸ Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?

⁹ Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?

¹⁰ In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.

¹¹ And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,

⁷ But which of you is there who, having a bondman ploughing or shepherding, when he comes in out of the field, will say, Come and lie down immediately to table?

⁸ But will he not say to him, Prepare what I shall sup on, and gird thyself and serve me that I may eat and drink; and after that thou shalt eat and drink?

⁹ Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered? I judge not.

¹⁰ Thus ye also, when ye shall have done all things that have been ordered you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen; we have done what it was our duty to do.

¹¹ And it came to pass as he was going up to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as he entered into a certain village ten leprous men met him, who stood afar off.

⁷ But which of you having a servant ploughing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go, sit down to meat:

⁸ And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper, and gird thyself, and serve me, whilst I eat and drink, and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink?

⁹ Doth he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him?

¹⁰ I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off;

⁷ And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come and recline to eat’?

⁸ But will he not say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, and gird yourself and serve me until I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?

⁹ Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

¹⁰ So likewise you, whenever you do all the things having been commanded to you, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what we ought to do.’ ”

¹¹ And it happened while He was traveling to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood at a distance.

⁷ “And which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline to eat’?

⁸ Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, and gird yourself and serve me until I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?

⁹ Does he thank that slave because he did the things commanded? I guess not!

¹⁰ So likewise you, whenever you have done everything you were told to do, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves, because we have only done what we were supposed to.’ ”

¹¹ Now as He was traveling toward Jerusalem, He went along between Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him—being lepers they stood at a distance.

⁷ Say you have a servant who does plowing or shepherding. When he comes in from work, do you say to him, ‘Come in and sit down now for a meal’?

⁸ No. You say to him, ‘Prepare a meal for me, get yourself dressed, and serve me until I've finished my meal. After that you can have your meal.’

⁹ And do you thank the servant for doing what you told him? No.

¹⁰ Likewise once you've done everything you were told, you should simply say, ‘We are undeserving servants. We just did our duty.’”

¹¹ As Jesus continued on his way to Jerusalem, he passed along the border between Samaria and Galilee.

¹² As he entered a particular village, ten lepers met him, standing at a distance.

⁷ Who is it also of you, that hauing a seruant plowing or feeding cattell, woulde say vnto him by and by, when hee were come from the fielde, Goe, and sit downe at table?

⁸ And woulde not rather say to him, Dresse wherewith I may suppe, and girde thy selfe, and serue mee, till I haue eaten and drunken, and afterward eate thou, and drinke thou?

⁹ Doeth he thanke that seruant, because hee did that which was commanded vnto him? I trowe not.

¹⁰ So likewise yee, when yee haue done all those things, which are commanded you, say, We are vnprofitable seruants: wee haue done that which was our duetie to doe.

¹¹ And so it was when he went to Hierusalem, that he passed through the middes of Samaria, and Galile.

¹² And as hee entred into a certaine towne, there met him tenne men that were lepers, which stoode a farre off.

⁷ But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

⁸ And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

⁹ Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

¹⁰ So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

⁷ And which of you having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he hath come in from the field, Come immediately and place thyself at table?

⁸ Will he not rather say to him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself and serve me till I have eaten and drunken, and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

⁹ Doth he owe any thanks to that servant, because he did what was commanded?

¹⁰ So also do ye, when ye have done all that hath been commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were bound to do.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, that he was traveling on the confines of Samaria and Galilee.

¹² And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten lepers, who stood afar off.

⁷ Which of you, if he had a servant ploughing, or tending the sheep, would say to him, when he came in from the fields, ‘Come at once and take your place at the table,’

⁸ Instead of saying ‘Prepare my dinner, and then make yourself ready and serve me while I am eating and drinking, and after that you will eat and drink yourself’?

⁹ Does he feel grateful to his servant for doing what he is told?

¹⁰ And so with you — when you have done all that you have been told, still say ‘We are but useless servants; we have done no more than we ought to have done.’”

¹¹ On the way to Jerusalem Jesus passed between Samaria and Galilee.

¹² As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him.

⁷ Which of you, if he had a servant ploughing, or tending the sheep, would say to him, when he came in from the fields, ‘Come at once and take your place at the table,’

⁸ Instead of saying ‘Prepare my dinner, and then make yourself ready and serve me while I am eating and drinking, and after that you will eat and drink yourself’?

⁹ Does he feel grateful to his servant for doing what he is told?

¹⁰ And so with you — when you have done all that you have been told, still say ‘We are but useless servants; we have done no more than we ought to have done.’”

¹¹ On the way to Jerusalem Jesus passed between Samaria and Galilee.

¹² As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him.

⁷ But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table,’

⁸ and will not rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?

⁹ Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

¹⁰ Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”

¹¹ As he was on his way to Jerusalem City of peace, he was passing along the borders of Samaria Watch-mountain and Galilee District, Circuit.

¹² As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were afflicted with tzara'at ·leprosy· met him, who stood at a distance.

⁷ And Jesus said to his followers, “You know about bosses and their workers. Maybe a worker is digging the ground to plant seeds, or maybe he is looking after sheep. When the sun starts to go down the worker comes back to the house of his boss. That boss doesn’t say, ‘Sit down with me and we will have dinner together.’

⁸ No. The boss says, ‘Get my dinner ready for me. Then put on clean clothes and bring me my dinner. After I finish eating you can get yourself a feed.’

⁹ That boss never says thank you to his worker. You see, his worker just did what the boss told him to do. He didn’t do anything more.

¹⁰ Well, it is the same with you. You are my workers. When you do what I tell you to do, just say to yourselves, ‘We are not special people. We are workers that only did what our boss told us to do.’”

¹¹ After that Jesus kept going along the road to the city called Jerusalem, going from Galilee country into Samaria country.

¹² He came to a community, and he started to go into it, but 10 men met him there. They all had a bad skin sickness, so they didn’t come close to Jesus, but they stood a little way from him and shouted to him.

⁷ Who is it of you yf he had a servaute plowinge or fedinge catell that wolde saye vnto him when he were come from the felde Goo quickly and syt doune to meate:

⁸ and wolde not rather saye to him dresse wherwith I maye sup and gyrde vp thy selfe and serve me tyll I have eaten and dronken: and afterwarde eate thou and drinke thou?

⁹ Doeth he thanke that servaunt because he dyd that which was commaunded vnto him? I trowe not.

¹⁰ Soo lyke wyse ye when ye have done all thoose thinges which are commaunded you: saye we are vnprofitable servautes. We have done: ye which was oure duetye to do.

¹¹ And it chaunsed as he went to Ierusalem that he passed thorow Samaria and Galile.

¹² And as he entred into a certayne toune ther met him ten men that were lepers. Which stode a farre of

⁷ But which of you, who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down to eat'?

⁸ Will he not say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat, and put a belt around your clothes and serve me until I have finished eating and drinking. Then afterward you will eat and drink'?

⁹ He does not thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded, does he?

¹⁰ Even so you also, when you have done everything that you are commanded, should say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have only done what we ought to do.'”

¹¹ It came about that as he traveled to Jerusalem, he went along the border between Samaria and Galilee.

¹² As he entered into a certain village, there he was met by ten men who were lepers. They stood far away from him

⁷ But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table’?

⁹ Doth he thank that servant, because he did the things that were commanded him? I suppose not.

⁷ But who of you hath a servant earing, or pasturing oxen, which saith to him, when he turneth again from the field, Anon go, and sit to or at the meat;

⁸ and saith not to him, Make ready, that I sup, and gird thee, and serve me, while I eat and drink, and after this thou shalt eat and drink;

⁹ whether he hath grace to that servant, for he did that that he commanded him? Nay, I guess.

¹⁰ So also ye, when ye have done all things that be commanded to you, say ye, We be unprofitable servants, we have done that that we ought to do.

¹¹ And it was done, the while Jesus went to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria, and Galilee.

¹² And when he entered into a castle, ten leprous men came to meet him, which stood afar,

⁷ But who of you hath a servant earing, or pasturing oxen, which saith to him, when he turneth again from the field, Anon go, and sit to the meat; (But who of you hath a servant plowing, or pasturing oxen, who saith to him, when he returneth from the field, At once go, and sit down for your meal;)

⁸ and saith not to him, Make ready, (so) that I (can) sup, and gird thee, and serve me, while I eat and drink, and after this thou shalt eat and drink;

⁹ whether he hath grace to that servant (or shall he give thanks to that servant), for he did that that he commanded him? Nay, I guess.

¹⁰ So also ye, when ye have done all (the) things that be commanded to you, say ye, We be unprofitable servants, we have done that that we ought to do.

¹¹ And it was done, the while Jesus went to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria, and Galilee.

¹² And when he entered into a castle (or And when he entered into a village), ten leprous men came to meet him, which stood afar,
