Jesus continues telling his parable.

## servant ##

The word that is translated here as “servant” is normally translated as “boy.” It may indicate that the servant was very young.

## what these things might be ##

"what was happening" (UDB)

## the fattened calf ##

This can be translated as “the best calf” or “the young bull we have been been giving lots of food to” or “the young animal we have been making fat.”
