Faith Like a Mustard Seed

Unworthy Servants
7. “But who of you, having a servant ploughing or shepherding, will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come here at once and recline at table.’?”
8. “Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare what I may eat, gird yourself, and serve me until I have eaten and drunk, and afterwards you shall eat and drink.’?”
9. “Does he thank the servant because he did the things commanded?”
10. “So you also, when you have done all the things ordered you, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants, we have done what we ought to have done.’”

22. And he said to the disciples, “Days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.”
23. “And they will say to you, ‘Look here,’ or, ‘Look there.’ Do not go away nor run after them.”
24. “For as the lightning flashing out of one part under heaven shines to the other under heaven, so will the Son of Man be in his day.”
