Matthew 24:44-51

44Therefore you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

45“Who then is the faithful and wise slave, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the other slaves their food at the proper time?

46Blessed is that slave whom the master finds at work when he comes.

47I tell you the truth, the master will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48But if that evil slave should say to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’

49and he begins to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with drunkards,

50then the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not foresee,

51and will cut him in two, and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
