Luke 12:40-53

40Be ye alsoG2532 readyG2092: for in an hourG5610 that ye thinkG1380 not the SonG5207 of manG444 cometh.

41And PeterG4074 saidG3004, LordG2962, speakest thou this parableG3850 unto us, or evenG2532 unto all? 42And the LordG2962 saidG3004, Who then isG1510 the faithfulG4103 and wiseG5429 stewardG3623, whom his lordG2962 shall setG2525 over his household, to giveG1325 them their portion of food in due seasonG2540? 43Blessed is that servantG1401, whom his lordG2962 whenG2064 he cometh shall findG2147 soG3779 doing. 44Of a truth I sayG3004 unto you, that he will setG2525 him over all that he hath. 45But if that servantG3816 shall sayG3004 in his heartG2588, My lordG2962 delayeth his comingG2064; and shall begin to beatG5180 the menservants and the maidservants, and to eatG2068 and drinkG4095, and to be drunken; 46the lordG2962 of that servantG1401 shall comeG2240 in a dayG2250 when he expecteth not, and in an hourG5610 when he knoweth not, and shall cutG1371 him asunder, and appoint his portionG3313 with the unfaithful. 47And that servantG1401, who knewG1097 his lord’sG2962 will, and madeG4160 not readyG2090, nor did according to his will, shall be beatenG1194 with manyG4183 stripes; 48but he that knewG1097 not, and did thingsG3956 worthyG514 of stripes, shall be beatenG1194 with fewG3641 stripes. And to whomsoever muchG4183 is givenG1325, of him shall muchG4183 be required: and to whom they commit muchG4183, of him will they askG154 the moreG4183.

49I cameG2064 to castG906 fireG4442 upon the earthG1093; and what do I desireG2309, if it is alreadyG2235 kindled? 50But I have a baptismG908 to be baptizedG907 with; and howG4459 am I straitened till it be accomplishedG5055! 51ThinkG1380 ye that I am comeG3854 to giveG1325 peaceG1515 in the earthG1093? I tellG3004 you, Nay; but ratherG235 division: 52for there shall beG1510 from henceforth fiveG4002 in oneG1520 houseG3624 dividedG1266, threeG5140 against twoG1417, and twoG1417 against threeG5140. 53They shall be dividedG1266, fatherG3962 against sonG5207, and sonG5207 against fatherG3962; motherG3384 against daughterG2364, and daughterG2364 against her motherG3384; motherG3384 in law against her daughterG2364 in law, and daughterG2364 in law against her motherG3384 in law.
