Luke 12:45-48

45On the other hand, that servant may think that his master is taking a long time to come home. The servant may begin to beat the other servants and to eat, drink, and get drunk.

46His master will return at an unexpected time. Then his master will punish him severely and assign him a place with unfaithful people.

47“The servant who knew what his master wanted but didn’t get ready to do it will receive a hard beating.

48But the servant who didn’t know ⌞what his master wanted⌟ and did things for which he deserved punishment will receive a light beating. A lot will be expected from everyone who has been given a lot. More will be demanded from everyone who has been entrusted with a lot.
