Matthew 24:42-51

42 "Therefore, be alert, because you don't know on what day your Lord will return.

43 You realize that if a homeowner had known at what time of the night a thief was coming, he would have stayed awake. He would not have let the thief break into his house.

44 Therefore, you, too, must be ready because the Son of Man will return when you least expect him.

45 "Who, then, is the faithful and wise servant? The master will put that person in charge of giving the other servants their food at the right time.

46 That servant will be blessed if his master finds him doing this job when he comes.

47 I can guarantee this truth: He will put that servant in charge of all his property.

48 On the other hand, that servant, if he is wicked, may think that it will be a long time before his master comes.

49 The servant may begin to beat the other servants and eat and drink with the drunks.

50 His master will return unexpectedly.

51 Then his master will severely punish him and assign him a place with the hypocrites. People will cry and be in extreme pain there.
