Matthew 24:49

Read in context

Matthew 24:47–51 · Berean Standard Bible

47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

49 And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

50 The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

51 Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
