Matthew 24:43-51

New King James Version

^43 (A)But know this, that if the master of the house had known what ^[a]hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. ^44 (B)Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant^(C)

^45 (D)“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food ^[b]in due season? ^46 (E)Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. ⁴⁷ Assuredly, I say to you that ^(F)he will make him ruler over all his goods. ⁴⁸ But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master ^(G)is delaying ^[c]his coming,’ ⁴⁹ and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, ⁵⁰ the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is ^(H)not aware of, ⁵¹ and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. ^(I)There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
