The Luke parable is a story talking about the future using imagery that the people of Jesus' day would have understood. If you look at the whole context, it's pretty clear that Jesus isn't talking about slaves and masters at all.
None of the Old Testament passages really go against what I was saying about progressivity, which, to be fair, is a concept that can be quite hard to explain.
