Matthew 24:47
45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?
46 Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’
49 And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
