Luke 12:41–48

⁴¹Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable ^lunto us, or even ^mto all? ⁴²And the Lord said,

Who then is that faithful and wise ⁿsteward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? ⁴³Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. ⁴⁴Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. ⁴⁵But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; ⁴⁶the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not ware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his ^oportion with the unbelievers. ⁴⁷And ^pthat servant, which knew his lord’s will, and ^jprepared not himself, neither did according to his will, ^qshall be beaten with many stripes. ^48pBut he ^rthat knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, ^sshall be beaten with few stripes. ^tFor unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom ^umen have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
