42 And the Lord said—Who then is the faithful steward, the prudent one, whom the lord will appoint over his body of attendants, to be giving, in due season, the measured allowance of wheat?

45 But, if that servant should say in his heart—My lord delayeth to come! and should begin to be striking the youths and the maidens, —to be eating also, and drinking, and making himself drunk,

46 The lord of that servant, will have come—on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not taking note, —and will cut him asunder, and, his part, with the unfaithful, will appoint.
ⲙ̅ⲋ̅⳿ϥⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲟⲙⲥ ϧⲁϫⲱϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲫⲟⲣϫϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲏϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉϥⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲁⲭⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲓⲁⲑⲛⲁϩϯ.
47 And, that servant, who had come to know the will of his lord, and neither prepared, nor wrought unto his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

48 Whereas, he who had not come to know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And, every one to whom was given much, much, shall be sought from him; and, he to whom they committed much, for more than common, will they ask him.

53 There shall be divided—Father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against the mother, —mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.

58 For, as thou art going along with thine adversary unto a ruler, on the way, take pains to get a release from him; lest once he drag thee along unto the judge, and, the judge, deliver thee up to the punisher, —and, the punisher, cast thee into prison:
