⁴⁶ The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he does not know, and will punish him and cut him off and assign his lot with ^[a]the unfaithful.

⁴⁷ And that servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or act as he would wish him to act shall be beaten with many [lashes].

⁴⁸ But he who did not know and did things worthy of a beating shall be beaten with few [lashes]. For everyone to whom much is given, of him shall much be required; and of him to whom men entrust much, they will require and demand all the more.^(A)
