42. Watch therefore: for you know not what hour your Lord does come.
43. But know this, that if the owner of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
44. Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes.
45. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his household, to give them food at the proper time?
46. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
47. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48. But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming;
49. And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards;
50. The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51. And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
