(1) 2Q: Luke 12:42-46 = Matt 24:45-51a

/12:42/ And the Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and prudent manager whom his master will put in charge of his slaves, to give them their allowance of food at the proper time? /43/ Blessed is that slave whom his master will find at work when he arrives. /44/ Truly I tell you, he will put that one in charge of all his possessions. /45/ But if that slave says to himself, 'My master is delayed in coming,' and if he begins to beat the other slaves, men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk, /46/ the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and put him with the unfaithful.

= Matt 24:45-51a
/24:45/ "Who then is the faithful and wise slave, whom his master has put in charge of his household, to give the other slaves their allowance of food at the proper time? /46/ Blessed is that slave whom his master will find at work when he arrives. /47/ Truly I tell you, he will put that one in charge of all his possessions. /48/ But if that wicked slave says to himself, 'My master is delayed,' /49/ and he begins to beat his fellow slaves, and eats and drinks with drunkards, 24:50 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour that he does not know. /51/ He will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
