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

⁴⁵ Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord has made ruler over His household, to give them food in due season? ⁴⁶ Blessed is that servant whom his Lord shall find him doing so when He comes. ⁴⁷ Truly I say to you that He shall make him ruler over all His goods. ⁴⁸ But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Lord delays His coming, ⁴⁹ and shall begin to strike his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken, ⁵⁰ the Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he does not look for Him, and in an hour which he does not know. ⁵¹ And He shall cut him apart and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

⁴¹ And Peter said to Him, Lord, do You speak this parable to us or also to all?

⁴² And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward whom his lord shall set over his houseservants, to give them their portion of food in season? ⁴³ Blessed is that servant when his lord comes and finds him so doing. ⁴⁴ Truly I say to you that he will set him over all his possessions. ⁴⁵ But if that servant says in his heart, My lord delays his coming, and shall begin to beat the male servants and women servants, and to eat and drink and to be drunk, ⁴⁶ the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect, and at an hour when he does not know. And he will cut him apart, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. ⁴⁷ And that servant who knew his lord's will and did not prepare, nor did according to His will, shall be beaten with many stripes. ⁴⁸ But he not knowing, and doing things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomever much is given, of him much shall be required. And to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
