Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁴⁵ If there be any servant faithful and wise, whom his master has appointed over his household, to give them food in due season, ⁴⁶ happy is that servant whom his master (when he comes) finds so doing. ⁴⁷ Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his goods. ⁴⁸ But if the evil servant says in his heart, My master will defer his coming, ⁴⁹ and begins to smite his fellow servants, yea and to eat and to drink with the drunken, ⁵⁰ the servant’s master will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, ⁵¹ and will separate him, and give him his reward with the hypocrites. And there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
