Luke 12:47 Context
45But and if that seruant say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his comming and shall beginne to beat the men seruants, and maidens, and to eate and drinke, and to be drunken: 46The Lord of that seruant will come in a day when hee looketh not for him, and at an houre when hee is not ware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the vnbeleeuers. 47And that seruant which knew his Lords will, and prepared not himselfe, neither did according to his will, shalbe beaten with many stripes. 48But hee that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall bee beaten with few stripes. For vnto whomsoeuer much is giuen, of him shal bee much required: and to whom men haue committed much, of him they will aske the more. 49¶ I am come to send fire on the earth, and what will I, if it be already kindled?
