New Living Translation

Matthew 24:44-51 New Living Translation (NLT)

44. You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.

45. “A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants and feeding them.

46. If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward.

47. I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of all he owns.

48. But what if the servant is evil and thinks, ‘My master won’t be back for a while,’

49. and he begins beating the other servants, partying, and getting drunk?

50. The master will return unannounced and unexpected,

51. and he will cut the servant to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
