Luke 12:40-53

401You tooG2532, be readyG2092; for the SonG5207 of ManG444 is comingG2064 at an hourG5610 that you do not 2expectG1380.”

41PeterG4074 saidG3004, “LordG2962, are You addressingG3004 thisG3778 parableG3850 to us, orG2228 3to everyoneG3956 else as wellG2532?” 42And 4the LordG2962 saidG3004, “5WhoG5101 thenG686 is the faithfulG4103 and sensibleG5429 6stewardG3623, whomG3739 his masterG2962 will putG2525 in chargeG2525 of his 7servantsG2322, to giveG1325 them their rationsG4620 at the properG2540 timeG2540? 43BlessedG3107 is that 8slaveG1401 whomG3739 his 9masterG2962 findsG2147 soG3779 doingG4160 when he comesG2064. 44TrulyG230 I sayG3004 to you that he will putG2525 him in chargeG2525 of allG3956 his possessionsG5225. 45But ifG1437 that slaveG1401 saysG3004 in his heartG2588, ‘My masterG2962 10will be a longG5549 timeG5549 in comingG2064,’ and beginsG757 to beatG5180 the slavesG3814G3816, both menG3816 and womenG3814, and to eatG2068 and drinkG4095 and getG3182 drunkG3182; 46the masterG2962 of that slaveG1401 will comeG2240 on a dayG2250 whenG3739 he does not expectG4328 him and at an hourG5610 he does not knowG1097, and will cutG1371 him in piecesG1371, and assignG5087 him a placeG3313 with the unbelieversG571. 47And that slaveG1401 who knewG1097 his master’sG2962 willG2307 and did not getG2090 readyG2090 orG2228 actG4160 in accordG4314 with his willG2307, willG2307 11receiveG1194 manyG4183 lashesG1194, 48but the one who did not 12knowG1097 it, and committedG4160 deeds worthyG514 of 13a floggingG4127, will receiveG1194 but fewG3641. 14From everyoneG3956 whoG3739 has been givenG1325 muchG4183, muchG4183 will be requiredG523; and to whomG3739 they entrustedG3908 muchG4183, of him they will askG154 allG4057 the moreG4057.

49“I 15have comeG2064 to castG906 fireG4442 upon the earthG1093; and 16howG5101 I wishG2309 it were alreadyG2235 kindledG381! 50But I haveG2192 a 17baptismG908 to 18undergoG907, and howG4459 distressedG4912 I am untilG2193 it is accomplishedG5055! 5119Do you supposeG1380 that I cameG3854 to grantG1325 peaceG1515 on earthG1093? I tellG3004 you, noG3780, but ratherG2228 divisionG1267; 52for from nowG3568 on fiveG4002 members in oneG1520 householdG3624 will be dividedG1266, threeG5140 againstG1909 twoG1417 and twoG1417 againstG1909 threeG5140. 53They will be dividedG1266, 20fatherG3962 againstG1909 sonG5207 and sonG5207 againstG1909 fatherG3962, motherG3384 againstG1909 daughterG2364 and daughterG2364 againstG1909 motherG3384, mother-in-lawG3994 againstG1909 daughter-in-lawG3565 and daughter-in-lawG3565 againstG1909 mother-in-lawG3994.”
