Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 17:7-10

_ _ say unto him by and by — The “by and by” (or rather “directly”) should be joined not to the saying but the going: “Go directly.” The connection here is: “But when your faith has been so increased as both to avoid and forgive offenses, and do things impossible to all but faith, be not puffed up as though you had laid the Lord under any obligations to you.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 17:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 17:7

But which of you — But is it not meet that you should first obey, and then triumph? Though still with a deep sense of your utter unprofitableness.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Luke 17:7

(4) 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?

(4) Seeing that God may rightfully claim for himself both us and all that is ours, he cannot be indebted to us for anything, although we labour mightily until we die.
