Holman Christian Standard Bible
46 that slave’s master will come on a day he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know. He will cut him to pieces[a] and assign him a place with the unbelievers.[b] 47 And that slave who knew his master’s will and didn’t prepare himself or do it[c] will be severely beaten.(A) 48 But the one who did not know and did things deserving(B) of blows will be beaten lightly. Much will be required of everyone who has been given much. And even more will be expected of the one who has been entrusted with more.[d](C)

46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.(A) He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.(B) 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows.(C) From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
