43Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
44Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
45But if that servant says in his heart, `My lord delays his coming,` and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,
46then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn`t expecting him, and in an hour that he doesn`t know, and will cut him apart, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
47That servant, who knew his lord`s will, and didn`t prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
48but he who didn`t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom they deposit much, of him will they ask more.
49"I came to throw fire on the earth, I wish it were already kindled.
