40and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.`
41And Peter said to him, `Sir, unto us this simile dost thou speak, or also unto all?`
42And the Lord said, `Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord shall set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?
43Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;
44truly I say to you, that over all his goods he will set him.
45`And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord doth delay to come, and may begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken;
46the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he doth not look for [him], and in an hour that he doth not know, and will cut him off, and his portion with the unfaithful he will appoint.
