Matthew 24:43-51

43 aBut know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night bthe thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44Therefore you also must be cready, for dthe Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

45Who then is ethe faithful and fwise servant,
Greek bondservant; also verses 46, 48, 50
whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?
46 hBlessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47Truly, I say to you, ihe will set him over all his possessions. 48But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master jis delayed,’ 49and begins to beat his fellow servants
Greek bondservants
and eats and drinks with ldrunkards,
50the master of that servant will come mon a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place nthere will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
