Exegesis
The self-designation douloi achreioi esmen {Δοῦλοι ἀχρεῖοί ἐσμεν | Doûloi akhreîoi esmen} sets forth a humble confession: the servants recognize themselves as entirely unworthy.
In context — Luke 17:10
So you also, when you have done all that has been commanded you, say, “We are unworthy servants; we have done what we were obligated to do.”
