Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded?
Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
Is he grateful and does he praise the servant because he did what he was ordered to do?
Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded?
You won’t thank the servant because the servant did what you asked, will you?
Would he be grateful to that servant, for doing what he commanded him to do?
Doth he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him?
So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, ‘We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!’ ”
Would you not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink’?
