Context of Matthew 24:49
47Verily I say to you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to beat his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
