⁴⁷And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself, and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

⁴⁸But he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more.

⁴⁹I am come to cast fire on the earth; and what will I, but that it be kindled?
