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

⁴⁵ Who then is the faithful and discerning servant, which his lord set over his attendance, to give them food in due season ⁴⁶ Happy that servant which his lord, having come, shall find doing thus. ⁴⁷ Truly I say to you, That he shall set him over all his possessions. ⁴⁸ But if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays to come; ⁴⁹ And he should begin to strike the fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with those intoxicated; ⁵⁰ The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not, ⁵¹ And he shall cut him in two equal parts, and he shall set his portion with the hypocrites: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

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

⁴² And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, which the Lord will set over his household, to give the allowance of wheat in due time? ⁴³ Happy that servant, which his Lord, having come, shall find so doing. ⁴⁴ Truly I say to you, that he will set him over all his possessions. ⁴⁵ And if that servant should say in his heart, My Lord delays to come; and should begin to strike the servants and maids, also to eat and drink, and to be intoxicated; ⁴⁶ The lord of that servant shall come in a day which he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not, and he will cut him in two equal parts, and set his portion with the unbelieving. ⁴⁷ And that servant having known his lord's will, and not prepared, neither having done his will, shall be skinned with many. ⁴⁸ And he not having known, and having done things worthy of blows, shall be skinned with few. And to every one to whom much was given, shall much be required of him: and with whom they have deposited much, they will ask of him the more.
