Luke 12:40-53

40YouG4771 alsoG2532 must beG1096 readyG2092, becauseG3754 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 will comeG2064 at anG3739 hourG5610 you do not expectG3756G1380.”

41“LordG2962,” saidG2036 PeterG4074, “are You addressingG3004 thisG3778 parableG3850 toG4314 usG1473, orG2228 toG4314 everyone elseG3956 as wellG2532?”

42AndG2532 theG3588 LordG2962 answeredG2036, “WhoG5101 thenG686 isG1510 theG3588 faithfulG4103 and wiseG5429 managerG3623, whomG3739 theG3588 masterG2962 putsG2525 in chargeG2322 ofG1909 hisG846 servants to giveG1325 them their portionG4620 atG1722 the proper timeG2540? 43BlessedG3107 is thatG1565 servantG1401 whoseG3739 masterG2962 findsG2147 him doingG4160 soG3779 when he returnsG2064. 44TrulyG230 I tellG3004 youG4771, he will put him in chargeG2525G846 ofG1909 allG3956 hisG846 possessionsG5225.

45ButG1161 supposeG1437 thatG1565 servantG1401 saysG2036 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588, ‘MyG1473 masterG2962 will be a long timeG5549 in comingG2064,’ andG2532 he beginsG756 to beatG5180 theG3588 menservantsG3816 andG2532 maidservantsG3814, andG5037 to eatG2068 andG2532 drinkG4095 andG2532 get drunkG3182. 46TheG3588 masterG2962 of thatG1565 servantG1401 will comeG2240 onG1722 a dayG2250 he does not expectG3739G3756G4328 andG2532 atG1722 an hourG5610 he does not anticipateG3739G3756G1097. ThenG2532 he will cut him to piecesG1371G846 andG2532 assignG5087 himG846 aG3588 placeG3313 withG3326 theG3588 unbelieversG571.

ThatG1565 servantG1401 whoG3588 knowsG1097 hisG846 master’sG2962 willG2307 but does not get readyG3361G2090 or followG4160G4314 hisG846 instructionsG2307 will be beaten withG1194 manyG4183 blows. 48ButG1161 theG3588 one who unknowinglyG3361G1097 doesG4160 things worthyG514 of punishmentG4127 will be beaten withG1194 fewG3641 blows. From everyoneG3956 whoG3739 has been givenG1325 muchG4183, muchG4183 will be requiredG2212; andG2532 fromG3844 himG846 whoG3739 has been entrustedG3908 with muchG4183, even moreG4053 will be demandedG154G846.

49I have comeG2064 to igniteG906 a fireG4442 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093, andG2532 howG5101 I wishG2309 it were already kindledG1487G381G2235! 50ButG1161 I haveG2192 a baptismG908 to undergoG907, andG2532 howG4459 distressed I amG4912 untilG2193G3755 it is accomplishedG5055!

51Do you thinkG1380 thatG3754 I have comeG3854 to bringG1325 peaceG1515 toG1722 theG3588 earthG1093? NoG3780, I tellG3004 youG4771, butG235G2228 divisionG1267. 52FromG575 now onG3568, fiveG4002 inG1722 oneG1520 householdG3624 will beG1510 dividedG1266, threeG5140 againstG1909 twoG1417 andG2532 twoG1417 againstG1909 threeG5140. 53They will be dividedG1266, fatherG3962 againstG1909 sonG5207 andG2532 sonG5207 againstG1909 fatherG3962, motherG3384 againstG1909 daughterG2364 andG2532 daughterG2364 againstG1909 motherG3384, mother-in-lawG3994 againstG1909 daughter-in-lawG3565 andG2532 daughter-in-lawG3565 againstG1909 mother-in-lawG3994.1”
