Luke 12:42 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 12:42

40 ^aTherefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

41 Then Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to all people?”

42 And the Lord said, ^a“Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food¹ in due season?

43 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

44 ^aTruly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has.

45 ^aBut if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk,

46 the master of that servant will come on a ^aday when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
