Compare all
47 Assuredly, I say to you that ahe will make him ruler over all his goods.  
48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master ais delaying his coming,’  
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards,
50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is anot aware of,  
51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. aThere shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 24:49

Matthew 24:49 And shall begin to beat [his] fellow-servants. There is no sin more common among those who are clothed with authority than oppression. There have been no worse oppressors than priests. And to eat and drink with the drunken. What first disgusted Luther with the faith in which he had been reared was the profligacy of the priests and monks. It has often been the case that the Vatican was the very hot-bed of scandal.
