Luke 12:46 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Luke 12:46

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.

47 And ^athat servant who ^bknew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

48 ^aBut he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

cut him in sunder—a punishment not unknown in the East; compare Hebrews 11:37, "sawn asunder" (I Samuel 15:33; Daniel 2:5).

the unbelievers—the unfaithful, those unworthy of trust (Matthew 24:51), "the hypocrites," falsely calling themselves "servants."

Luke 12:41-48

unto us or even to all?—us the Twelve, or all this vast audience?
