⁴² `Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what hour your Lord doth come;

⁴³ and this know, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief doth come, he had watched, and not suffered his house to be broken through;

⁴⁴ because of this also ye, become ye ready, because in what hour ye do not think, the Son of Man doth come.

⁴⁵ `Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?

⁴⁶ Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;

⁴⁷ verily I say to you, that over all his substance he will set him.

⁴⁸ `And, if that evil servant may say in his heart, My Lord doth delay to come,

⁴⁹ and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken,

⁵⁰ the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he doth not expect, and in an hour of which he doth not know,

⁵¹ and will cut him off, and his portion with the hypocrites will appoint; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
