Matthew 8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

The first time we see the word servant in the New testament it is the word pais which is also translated child or son and maid and maiden.[1] Even though it appears 24 times[2] it only is translated servant 10 times.

Another word we see in the Bible translated servant 120[3] times is doulos[4]


Another word translated servant is diakonos [5] It appears some 31 times but appears as minister 20 times[6] and servant 8 times.

  2. Matthew 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children <3816> that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. Matthew 8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant <3816> lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. Matthew 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant <3816> shall be healed. Matthew 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant <3816> was healed in the selfsame hour. Matthew 12:18 Behold my servant <3816>, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. Matthew 14:2 And said unto his servants <3816>, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. Matthew 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child <3816> was cured from that very hour. Matthew 21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children <3816> crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, Luke 1:54 He hath holpen his servant <3816> Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; Luke 1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant <3816> David; Luke 2:43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child <3816> Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. Luke 7:7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant <3816> shall be healed. Luke 8:51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden <3816>. Luke 8:54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid <3816>, arise. Luke 9:42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child <3816>, and delivered him again to his father. Luke 12:45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants <3816> and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; Luke 15:26 And he called one of the servants <3816>, and asked what these things meant. John 4:51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son <3816> liveth. Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son <3816> Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. Acts 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son <3816> Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. Acts 4:25 Who by the mouth of thy servant <3816> David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? Acts 4:27 For of a truth against thy holy child <3816> Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, Acts 4:30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child <3816> Jesus. Acts 20:12 And they brought the young man <3816> alive, and were not a little comforted.
  3. Matthew 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant <1401>, Do this, and he doeth it. Matthew 10:24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant <1401> above his lord. Matthew 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant <1401> as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? Matthew 13:27 So the servants <1401> of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? Matthew 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants <1401> said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? Matthew 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants <1401>. Matthew 18:26 The servant <1401> therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Matthew 18:27 Then the lord of that servant <1401> was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. Matthew 18:28 But the same servant <1401> went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. Matthew 18:32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant <1401>, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Matthew 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant <1401>: Matthew 21:34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants <1401> to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. Matthew 21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants <1401>, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Matthew 21:36 Again, he sent other servants <1401> more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. Matthew 22:3 And sent forth his servants <1401> to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. Matthew 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants <1401>, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. Matthew 22:6 And the remnant took his servants <1401>, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. Matthew 22:8 Then saith he to his servants <1401>, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Matthew 22:10 So those servants <1401> went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. Matthew 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant <1401>, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Matthew 24:46 Blessed is that servant <1401>, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Matthew 24:48 But and if that evil servant <1401> shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; Matthew 24:50 The lord of that servant <1401> shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, Matthew 25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants <1401>, and delivered unto them his goods. Matthew 25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants <1401> cometh, and reckoneth with them. Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant <1401>: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant <1401>; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Matthew 25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant <1401>, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant <1401> into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 26:51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant <1401> of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear. Mark 10:44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant <1401> of all. Mark 12:2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant <1401>, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. Mark 12:4 And again he sent unto them another servant <1401>; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. Mark 13:34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants <1401>, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Mark 14:47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant <1401> of the high priest, and cut off his ear. Luke 2:29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant <1401> depart in peace, according to thy word: Luke 7:2 And a certain centurion’s servant <1401>, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. Luke 7:3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant <1401>. Luke 7:8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant <1401>, Do this, and he doeth it. Luke 7:10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant <1401> whole that had been sick. Luke 12:37 Blessed are those servants <1401>, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. Luke 12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants <1401>. Luke 12:43 Blessed is that servant <1401>, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Luke 12:45 But and if that servant <1401> say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; Luke 12:46 The lord of that servant <1401> will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. Luke 12:47 And that servant <1401>, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. Luke 14:17 And sent his servant <1401> at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. Luke 14:21 So that servant <1401> came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant <1401>, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. Luke 14:22 And the servant <1401> said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. Luke 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant <1401>, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Luke 15:22 But the father said to his servants <1401>, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: Luke 17:7 But which of you, having a servant <1401> plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? Luke 17:9 Doth he thank that servant <1401> because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. Luke 17:10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants <1401>: we have done that which was our duty to do. Luke 19:13 And he called his ten servants <1401>, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. Luke 19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants <1401> to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. Luke 19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant <1401>: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. Luke 19:22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant <1401>. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: Luke 20:10 And at the season he sent a servant <1401> to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. Luke 20:11 And again he sent another servant <1401>: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. Luke 22:50 And one of them smote the servant <1401> of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant <1401> of sin. John 8:35 And the servant <1401> abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. John 13:16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant <1401> is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants <1401>; for the servant <1401> knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. John 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant <1401> is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. John 18:10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant <1401>, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s <1401> name was Malchus. John 18:18 And the servants <1401> and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. John 18:26 One of the servants <1401> of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? Acts 2:18 And on my servants <1401> and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: Acts 4:29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants <1401>, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, Acts 16:17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants <1401> of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant <1401> of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants <1401> to obey, his servants <1401> ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Romans 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants <1401> of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Romans 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants <1401> to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants <1401> to righteousness unto holiness. Romans 6:20 For when ye were the servants <1401> of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 1 Corinthians 7:21 Art thou called being a servant <1401>? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. 1 Corinthians 7:22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant <1401>, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant <1401>. 1 Corinthians 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants <1401> of men. 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond <1401> or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 2 Corinthians 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants <1401> for Jesus’ sake. Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant <1401> of Christ. Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond <1401> nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 4:1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant <1401>, though he be lord of all; Galatians 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant <1401>, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Ephesians 6:5 Servants <1401>, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Ephesians 6:6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants <1401> of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; Ephesians 6:8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond <1401> or free.

Colossians 3:22 Servants <1401>, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: Colossians 4:1 Masters, give unto your servants <1401> that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant <1401> of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 1 Timothy 6:1 Let as many servants <1401> as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. 2 Timothy 2:24 And the servant <1401> of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, Titus 1:1 Paul, a servant <1401> of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; Titus 2:9 Exhort servants <1401> to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; Philemon 1:16 Not now as a servant <1401>, but above a servant <1401>, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? James 1:1 James, a servant <1401> of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 1 Peter 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants <1401> of God. 2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant <1401> and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Peter 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants <1401> of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. Jude 1:1 Jude, the servant <1401> of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants <1401> things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant <1401> John: Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants <1401> to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. Revelation 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman <1401>, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; Revelation 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants <1401> of our God in their foreheads. Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants <1401> the prophets. Revelation 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants <1401> the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond <1401>, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: Revelation 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant <1401> of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Revelation 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants <1401> at her hand. Revelation 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants <1401>, and ye that fear him, both small and great. Revelation 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond <1401>, both small and great. Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants <1401> shall serve him: Revelation 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants <1401> the things which must shortly be done.

Ephesians 6:21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister <1249> in the Lord, shall make known to you all things: Philippians 1:1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons <1249>: Colossians 1:7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister <1249> of Christ; Colossians 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister <1249>; Colossians 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister <1249>, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Colossians 4:7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister <1249> and fellowservant in the Lord: 1 Thessalonians 3:2 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister <1249> of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith: 1 Timothy 3:8 Likewise must the deacons <1249> be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 1 Timothy 3:12 Let the deacons <1249> be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 1 Timothy 4:6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister <1249> of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
