Luke 12:47

And that servant who knew his lord’s will, but made no preparation, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

Henry Tompkins Anderson’s 1864 New Testament

In The King James Version

And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

In Context

48but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. To whomever much has been given, of him shall much be required; and to whom men have intrusted much, of him will they ask the more.
