42And 1the LordG2962 saidG3004, “2WhoG5101 thenG686 is the faithfulG4103 and sensibleG5429 3stewardG3623, whomG3739 his masterG2962 will putG2525 in chargeG2525 of his 4servantsG2322, to giveG1325 them their rationsG4620 at the properG2540 timeG2540? 43BlessedG3107 is that 5slaveG1401 whomG3739 his 6masterG2962 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 7will 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 8receiveG1194 manyG4183 lashesG1194, 48but the one who did not 9knowG1097 it, and committedG4160 deeds worthyG514 of 10a floggingG4127, will receiveG1194 but fewG3641. 11From everyoneG3956 whoG3739 has been givenG1325 muchG4183, muchG4183 will be requiredG523; and to whomG3739 they entrustedG3908 muchG4183, of him they will askG154 allG4057 the moreG4057.
