Blessed are
those servants, who, when the lord comes, He finds ready and waiting.
And consider this, if the good man of the house had known what hour the
thief would come, he would have watched, and not suffered his house to
be broken into. So, be ready because the Son of man comes at an hour
when you think not.
Then Peter said to Him, Lord, will you speak more about this parable to
us, or even to all? The Lord said, Who, then, is that faithful and wise
steward whom his lord shall make ruler over his household to justly
give out the portions of meat in due season? Blessed is that servant
whom his lord, when he comes, shall find already doing so. I tell you,
he will make him ruler over all that he has.
But if a servant says in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and so
begins to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink to
excess; the lord of that servant will come in a day when the servant
does not look for him and at an hour when he is not aware. His lord
will cast him aside and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
That servant, who knew his lord's will but did not prepare or act
according to his lord's will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
But he that did not know and committed things worthy of stripes, shall
be beaten lightly. To whomever much is given, of him much is required.
