Matthew 24:45-51

45aWho then is the bfaithful and csensible slave whom his
Or lord
master eput in charge of his household slaves, to give them their food at the proper time?
46 Blessed is that slave whom his
Or lord
master finds so doing when he comes.
47 Truly I say to you that ghe will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But if that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My
Or lord
master
Lit lingers
is not coming for a long time,’
49 and he begins to beat his fellow slaves, and he eats and drinks with those habitually drunk; 50 then the
Or lord
master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect, and at an hour that he does not know,
51 and he will
Possibly referring to other extreme punishment
cut him in two and assign
Lit his portion with
him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be mweeping and gnashing of teeth.
