katapi HOME Matthew 24:45-51 - The Faithful or the Unfaithful Servant  Mt.24.45-51 (Olivet)- Lk.12.41-48 | NEB Contents | notes

24 45 'Who is the trusty servant, the sensible man charged by his master to manage his household staff and issue their rations at the proper time? 24 46 Happy that servant who is found at his task when his master comes! 24 47 I tell you this: he will be put in charge of all his master's property. 24 48 But if he is a bad servant and says to himself, "The master is a long time coming", 24 49 and begins to bully the other servants and to eat and drink with his drunken friends, 24 50 then the master will arrive on a day that servant does not expect, at a time he does not know, 24 51 and will cut him in pieces. Thus he will find his place among the hypocrites, where there is wailing and grinding of teeth.
