And the Lord said, "Who then is 1the faithful and 2wise 3manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?
43
4Blessed is that servant[a] whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
44
Truly, I say to you, 5he will set him over all his possessions.
45
But if that servant says to himself, 'My master 6is delayed in coming,' and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and 7get drunk,
46
the master of that servant will come 8on a day when he does not expect him and 9at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful.
47
10And that servant who 11knew his master's will but 12did not get ready 13or act according to his will, will receive a 14severe beating.
48
15But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, 16will receive a light beating. 17Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.
Not Peace, but Division
4918"I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled!
50
19I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how 20great is my distress until it is accomplished!
51
21Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? 22No, I tell you, but rather division.
52
For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three.
