Luke 12:41-48

41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable just for us or for everyone?”

42 The Lord said, “Who, then, is the faithful and careful manager whom his master will put in charge of giving all his other servants their share of food at the right time?Matt 24:45; 25:21; 1Cor 4:2 43 How blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing this when he comes! 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his property.Matt 24:47

45 “But if that servant says to himself, ^{▼▼Lit. in his heart} ‘My master is taking a long time to come back,’ and begins to beat the other servants and to eat, drink, and get drunk,Matt 24:48 46 the master of that servant will come on a day when he doesn't expect him and at an hour that he doesn't know. Then his master ^{▼▼Lit. he} will punish him severely ^{▼▼Lit. cut him in pieces} and assign him a place with unfaithful people. 47 That servant who knew what his master wanted but didn't prepare himself or do what was wanted will receive a severe beating.Num 15:30; Deut 25:2; John 9:41; 15:22; Acts 17:30; James 4:17 48 But the servant ^{▼▼Lit. the one} who did things that deserved a beating without knowing it will receive a light beating. Much will be required from everyone to whom much has been given. But even more will be demanded from the one to whom much has been entrusted.”Lev 5:17; 1Tim 1:13
