Luke 12:47 in context

  1. 45But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
  2. 46the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
  3. 47And that servant, who knew his lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
  4. 48but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.
  5. 49I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?
