Matthew 24:40-51 ▼

40 Then shall two be in the fielde, the one receaued, and the other refused.

41 Two women shalbe gryndyng at the myll, the one receaued, and the other refused.

42 Watch therfore, for ye knowe not what houre your Lorde doth come.

43 Of this yet be sure, that yf the good man of the house, knewe what watche the thiefe woulde come, he woulde surely watche, and not suffer his house to be broken vp.

44 Therfore, be ye also redy: for in such an houre as ye thynke not, the sonne of man commeth.

45 Who is a faythfull and wise seruaunt, whom his Lorde hath made ruler ouer his householde, to geue them meate in season.

46 Blessed is that seruaunt, whom his Lorde when he commeth, shall fynde so doyng.

47 Ueryly I say vnto you, that he shall make hym ruler ouer all his goodes.

48 But and yf that euyll seruaunt say in his heart, my Lorde wyll be long a commyng:

49 And so begyn to smyte his felowes, yea, and to eate and drynke with the dronken:

50 The same seruauntes Lorde shall come in a day, when he loketh not for hym, and in an houre that he is not ware of:

51 And shall hewe hym in peeces, & geue hym his portion with hypocrites: there shalbe wepyng and gnasshyng of teeth.
