New American Standard Bible 1995
47 And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will (A)receive many lashes, 48 but the one who did not (B)know it, and committed deeds worthy of [a]a flogging, will receive but few. (C)From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.
