Matthew 24:44-51

44So you must also be ready. The Son of Man will come at a time when you are not thinking about it.’

45Jesus then said, ‘You should be like a wise servant. Be someone that the master can trust. The master will choose a man like that. He will say to him, “Rule over my house and all my other servants. Give everyone their food to eat at the right time.”

46That servant will be very happy when his master comes home. His master will see that he has done everything well.

47Yes, I tell you this: The master will give that servant authority to rule over everything in his house.

48But another servant might be bad. He might say to himself, “My master will not come yet.”

49Then he begins to hit the other servants. He eats too much and he drinks too much. He meets with other people who become drunk.

50Then the master of that servant will come home and he will surprise the servant. He did not think that his master would come home on that day or at that time.

51Then the master will punish him a lot. He will put the servant with those people who do not obey him. The people in that place will cry and they will bite their teeth together.’
