Good and bad slaves

Luke 12:41–48

12:41 Good and bad slaves

(Mat. 24:45-51)

41 Then Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros) asked, “Master, is that parable just for us, or is it for everyone?”

42 The master answered, “So what would a faithful and wise slave be like, that the master might make into a manager over all his slaves, the one to give them their rations? 43 That slave will be blessed when his master arrives and finds him doing everything he should. 44 I can assure you all that the master will put him in charge of everything he owns. 45 In contrast, if that slave thought to himself that the master might be away for a long time, he might start beating the slave boys and slave girls, and start ordering feasts, and drinking and getting drunk, 46 then his master is sure to arrive when he’s not expecting him, and the master will give him a gruesome execution and he’ll be in hell with the unbelievers.

47 “Any slave who knows what their master wants, yet doesn’t get anything ready or start doing what’s wanted, they’ll get a good beating, 48 yet a slave that didn’t know what was expected, even if they might have done things worthy of a beating, they’ll just get a couple of blows. Everyone who’s given much is expected to do much, and everyone who’s entrusted with many things, will have much more expected back from them.

41 And the Petros said:
master, are _you _telling the this parable to us, or also to all?

42 And the master said:
Who consequently is the faithful prudent manager the, whom the master will _be _appointing over the service of _him, which to _be _giving ration in season?

43 Blessed is the that slave, whom the master of _him having _come, will _be _finding doing thus.

44 Truly I _am _saying to _you _all that he _will _be _appointing him over all the things possessing of _him.

45 But if the that slave may _say in the heart of _him, the master of _me Is _delaying to _be _coming, and may _begin to _be _striking the servant _boys and the servant _girls, to _be _eating and/both and to _be _drinking and to _be _being _drunk,

46 the master of_ the that _slave will _be _coming in a_day which he _is_ not _expecting, and in an_hour which he _is_ not _knowing, and will _be _dismembering him, and will _be _appointing the portion of _him with the unbelievers.

47 And that the slave, which having _known the will of _the master of _him, and not having _prepared or having _done for the will of _him, will _be _being _beat many blows,

48 but the one not having _known, but having _done things worthy of _beatings, will _be _being _beat few blows.
And to _everyone to _whom was _given much, much will _be _being _sought from him, and to _whom they _entrusted they _will _be _requesting him much, more _abundantly.

Mat 24:45–51

24:45 The watchful servant and the slacker

(Luke 12:41-48)

45 “As a result, we’ll see who the faithful and watchful slave is—the one who the master appointed to run all of his household affairs. 46 That slave will be rewarded if the master finds him working faithfully when he arrives suddenly. 47 I can assure you that he’ll appoint the slave to supervise everything that he possesses. 48 But if the evil slave says to himself, ‘Ah, the master won’t be back for a long time yet,’ 49 and starts beating his fellow slaves, and spends time eating and drinking with drunks, 50 then his master will arrive when he’s not expecting it 51 and will torture him and send him off with the hypocrites to where there’ll be crying and a lot of anguish.

47 Truly, I _am _saying to _you _all that he _will _be _appointing him over all the things possessing of _him.

48 But if the that evil slave may _say in the heart of _him:
The master of _me is _delaying,
