42:012:041 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest
thou this parable
unto
us, or even to all?
42:012:042 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful
and wise steward,
whom
his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give
them
their portion of meat in due season?
42:012:043 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord
when he cometh shall
find
so doing.
42:012:044 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will
make him ruler over
all
that he hath.
42:012:045 But and if that servant say in his heart,
My lord delayeth his
coming;
and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens,
and
to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
42:012:046 The lord of that servant will come in a
day when he looketh
not
for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will
cut
him
in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the
unbelievers.
42:012:047 And that servant, which knew his lord’s
will, and prepared not
himself,
neither did according to his will, shall be beaten
with
many stripes.
42:012:048 But he that knew not, and did commit things
worthy of stripes,
shall
be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever
much is
given,
of him shall be much required: and to whom men
have
committed
much, of him they will ask the more.
42:012:049 I am come to send fire on the earth; and
what will I, if it be
already
kindled?
42:012:050 But I have a baptism to be baptized with;
and how am I
straitened
till it be accomplished!
42:012:051 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace
on earth? I tell you,
Nay;
but rather division:
42:012:052 For from henceforth there shall be five
in one house divided,
three
against two, and two against three.
42:012:053 The father shall be divided against the
son, and the son
against
the father; the mother against the daughter, and the
daughter
against the mother; the mother in law against her
daughter
in law, and the daughter in law against her mother
in
law.
42:012:054 And he said also to the people, When ye
see a cloud rise out
of
the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower;
and so
it
is.
42:012:055 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye
say, There will be
heat;
and it cometh to pass.
42:012:056 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face
of the sky and of the
earth;
but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
42:012:057 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
42:012:058 When thou goest with thine adversary to
the magistrate, as
thou
art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be
delivered
from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the
judge
deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee
into
prison.
