Yes, the answer lies in the fact that the servants mentioned were never members of the household.
It is profitable to realize that while Jesus was walking on earth prior to His death, burial and resurrection, the laws of Moses were still in effect.
Hebrews 9:15-17.... "...He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where there is a testment (or will), there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives."
The New Testament/Covenant was not in effect until after the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, as the Scripture from Hebrews clearly shows.
When one realizes this, some things that Jesus said while walking on earth that are really puzzling from the New Testament perspective are easily solved/understood.
If you are interested about some of these, let me know, and I will post something explanatory.
Shalom... WAB
