And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and prepared not, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

The New Testament, American Bible Union (1865)

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. For to whomsoever much was given, of him much will be required; and to whom they committed much, of him they will require the more.
