What Did Jesus Say About Servants?

Matthew 10 v 24 – 25

And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor,  the maimed,  the halt, and the blind.
