their food at the right time?Luke 12:42; Acts 20:28; 1Cor 4:2; Heb 3:5 46How blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing this when he comes!Rev 16:15 47Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his property.Matt 25:21, 23; Luke 22:29 48“But if that wicked servant says to himself, ▼▼Lit. in his heart
‘My master has been delayed,’ 49and begins to beat his fellow servants and eat and drink with the drunks, 50the master of that servant will come on a day when he doesn't expect him and at an hour that he doesn't know. 51Then his master ▼▼Lit. he
will punish him severely ▼▼Lit. will cut him in pieces
and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” ▼▼I.e. extreme pain
