Luke 12:43 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:43

Blessed is that servant
Who is faithful and wise, rules well, and discharges his trust with integrity, and disposes of the provisions of the house, in his hands, with great discretion and prudence:

whom his Lord, when he cometh;
to take vengeance on the wicked Jews, or by death, or at judgment:

shall find so doing;
behaving as a good ruler, and as a wise and faithful steward.

Luke 12:43 In-Context

41 Peter said, "Lord, did you tell this story to us or to all people?"
42 The Lord said, "Who is the wise and trusted servant that the master trusts to give the other servants their food at the right time?
43 When the master comes and finds the servant doing his work, the servant will be blessed.
44 I tell you the truth, the master will choose that servant to take care of everything he owns.
45 But suppose the servant thinks to himself, 'My master will not come back soon,' and he begins to beat the other servants, men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk.
