Luke 12:43-48

English Standard Version

^43 (A)Blessed is that servant^[a] whom his master will find so doing when he comes. ⁴⁴ Truly, I say to you, ^(B)he will set him over all his possessions. ⁴⁵ But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master ^(C)is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and ^(D)get drunk, ⁴⁶ the master of that servant will come ^(E)on a day when he does not expect him and ^(F)at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful. ^47 (G)And that servant who ^(H)knew his master's will but ^(I)did not get ready ^(J)or act according to his will, will receive a ^(K)severe beating. ^48 (L)But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, ^(M)will receive a light beating. ^(N)Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.
