39This you do know, that, had the owner of the house known at what time the thief was coming, he would have been on the watch, and would not have let his house be broken into.
40You must also prepare, for when you are least expecting him the Son of Man will come.”
41“Master,” said Peter, “are you telling this parable with reference to us or to everyone?”
42“Who, then,” replied the Master, “is that trustworthy steward, the careful man, who will be placed by his master over his establishment, to give them their rations at the proper time?
43Happy will that servant be whom his master, when he comes home, will find doing this.
44His master, I tell you, will put him in charge of the whole of his property.
45But should that servant say to himself ‘My master is a long time coming,’ and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,
46that servant's master will come on a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour of which he is unaware, and will flog him severely and assign him his place among the untrustworthy.
47The servant who knows his master's wishes and yet does not prepare and act accordingly will receive many lashes;
48while one who does not know his master's wishes, but acts so as to deserve a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone to whom much has been given much will be expected, and from the man to whom much has been entrusted the more will be demanded.
