Luke 12:41–48

⁴¹And Peter said to him, Lord, sayest thou this parable to us, or also to all? ⁴²And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give the measure of corn in season? ⁴³Blessed is that bondman whom his lord on coming shall find doing thus; ⁴⁴verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he has. ⁴⁵But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and to drink and to be drunken, ⁴⁶the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the unbelievers. ⁴⁷But that bondman who knew his own lord’s will, and had not prepared himself nor done his will, shall be beaten with many stripes; ⁴⁸but he who knew it not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to every one to whom much has been given, much shall be required from him; and to whom men have committed much, they will ask from him the more.
