Compare all
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.  
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.  

Christ Brings Division
