There are many passages where slaves are commanded to obey their masters. Jesus mentions slaves in parables. He does not condemn the institution when he has the chance. In Number 31 Moses point blank tells the Israelite men that after they kill the non virgin Midianite women (and all the other Midianites too) that the virgins are theirs to keep. It is excused, tolerated and commanded at different points.
