Luke 12:48

48 The one who didn't know the master's will but who did things deserving punishment will be beaten only a little. Much will be demanded from everyone who has been given much, and from the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked.

Luke 12:48 In-Context

46 The master of those servants would come on a day when they weren't expecting him, at a time they couldn't predict. The master will cut them into pieces and assign them a place with the unfaithful.
47 That servant who knew his master's will but didn't prepare for it or act on it will be beaten severely.
48 The one who didn't know the master's will but who did things deserving punishment will be beaten only a little. Much will be demanded from everyone who has been given much, and from the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked.
49 "I came to cast fire upon the earth. How I wish that it was already ablaze!
50 I have a baptism I must experience. How I am distressed until it's completed!
