Matthew 24:50

50 The master will come when that servant is not ready and is not expecting him.

Matthew 24:50 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 24:50

The lord of that servant
Not by redemption and grace, but by creation and profession; shall come in a day when he looked not for him, and in an hour
that he is not aware of:
suddenly and unexpectedly: such was his coming in wrath and vengeance on the Jewish nation; and such is his coming oftentimes by death; and such will be his coming at the day of judgment.

Matthew 24:50 In-Context

48 But suppose that evil servant thinks to himself, 'My master will not come back soon,'
49 and he begins to beat the other servants and eat and get drunk with others like him?
50 The master will come when that servant is not ready and is not expecting him.
51 Then the master will cut him in pieces and send him away to be with the hypocrites, where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain.
