Matthew 24:48

Verse 48 of 51. The 24th of 28 chapters in Matthew, in The Gospels.

44Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.

45“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

46Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.

47Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.

48But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’

49and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,

50the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn’t expect it and in an hour when he doesn’t know it,

51and will cut him in pieces and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
