Luke 12:47

And, that servant, who had come to know the will of his lord, and neither prepared, nor wrought unto his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

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

46The lord of that servant, will have come—on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not taking note,—and will cut him asunder, and, his part, with the unfaithful, will appoint.

48Whereas, he who had not come to know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And, every one to whom was given much, much, shall be sought from him; and, he to whom they committed much, for more than common, will they ask him.
