Matthew 24:42-51
24:42 a To keep watch is to maintain active, energetic, single-minded obedience to the Lord (see 25:13 b; 26:38-41 c).Summary for Matt 24:45-51: 24:45-51 d This parable and the three that follow (25:1-13 e, 14-30 f, 31-46 g) each dramatize the need for faithful obedience during the delay of Jesus’ second coming. 24:45 h servant: It is possible that Jesus’ listeners would have thought of God’s special servants, the prophets and lawgivers; however, Jesus so frequently used servant figuratively that it is more likely a description of every disciple’s responsibility (see 10:24-25 i; 13:27-28 j; 18:23-35 k; 20:26 l).
