Matthew 24:45-51 - A Faithful Slave And An Unfaithful Slave

⁴⁵ Who then is the faithful and wise bondman, whom his lord appointed over his service, to give them the provision on time? ⁴⁶ Blessed is that bondman, whom his lord when he comes will find so doing. ⁴⁷ Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over all things being possessed by him. ⁴⁸ But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord is late coming, ⁴⁹ and should begin to beat the fellow bondmen, and to eat and drink with the drunken, ⁵⁰ the lord of that bondman will come in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware, ⁵¹ and he will cut him in two, and place his share with the hypocrites. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

⁴¹ And Peter said to him, Lord, did thou speak this parable to us, or also to all?

⁴² And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise manager whom his lord will appoint over his service to give the provision on time? ⁴³ Blessed is that bondman whom his lord when he comes will find so doing. ⁴⁴ Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over the things being possessed by him. ⁴⁵ But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord is late to come, and should begin to beat the servant boys and the servant girls, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken, ⁴⁶ the lord of that bondman will arrive in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will place his portion with the unbelieving. ⁴⁷ And that bondman who knew his lord's will, and who did not prepare, nor do according to his will, will be beaten much, ⁴⁸ but he who did not know, and did things worthy of blows, will be beaten little. And to every man to whom much was given, much will be required from him. And to whom they entrust much, they will ask him more abundantly.
