Luke 12:47 in Context — Luke 12

45 Mas se aquele servo disser em seu coração: Meu senhor está demorando para vir; e começar a espancar aos servos e servas, e a comer, e a beber, e a se embebedar,

46 Virá o senhor daquele servo, no dia em que ele não espera, e na hora que ele não sabe; e será partido em dois, e porá sua porção com os incrédulos.

47 E o servo que sabia a vontade de seu senhor, e não se preparou, nem fez conforme a sua vontade, será muito espancado.

48 Mas o que não sabia, e fez [coisas] dignas de pancadas, será pouco espancado. E a qualquer que muito for dado, muito se lhe pedirá, e ao que muito se confiou, muito mais lhe será exigido.

49 Eu vim para lançar fogo na terra; e o que mais posso querer, se já está aceso?
