bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary (c. 1700).
bullet"Our Lord showed his disciples their need of deep humility. The Lord has such a property in every creature, as no man can have in another; he cannot be in debt to them for their services, nor do they deserve any return from him."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes. John Wesley (1703-1791).
bullet"Happy is he who judges himself an unprofitable servant: miserable is he whom God pronounces such. But though we are unprofitable to him, our serving him is not unprofitable to us.

bullet"What is our value if it is not in what we achieve?"
bullet Exegetical Notes by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
bullet"Pointing out one's failings is meant to lead to metanoeo -- perhaps most literally in this context to "re-think" the actions. metanoeo besides meaning "to repent" or "to change one's mind," which are part of the meaning here; but it also carries the sense "to perceive afterwards" or "to perceive too late". Sometimes the words or actions we thought were OK at the time, with hindsight were seen to have "missed the mark". Such insight is meant to lead to repentance and forgiveness."

bullet"Do I see my service as enough reward or am I still comparing my works to others!  Do I understand the connection between faith and service?  In light of this reading, can I begin to understand what the disciples were yet to comprehend; that the proper request is not, 'Increase my faith,' but, 'Increase my service (and my faith will follow).'"
bullet "A Prosthetic Faith!" Expository Essay, Dr. William R. Long. Part 2.
bullet"...the upshot of the parable is that, to use Jesus' words from the Gospel of John, 'We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work' (John 9:4)."
