SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:44
En verdad os digo, que l le pondr sobre todos sus bienes.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 44. Of a truth I say unto you , etc.] This, with Christ, was a strong way of asserting the truth of any thing; and the sense is, you may assure yourselves of it, this will certainly be the happy case of such servant: that he will make him ruler over all that he hath ; as Joseph was made by Pharaoh. Such an one shall reign with Christ on earth a thousand years, and then in heaven with him to all eternity, where he shall enjoy all things; (see Gill on Matthew 24:47) Ver. 45. But and if that servant say in his heart , etc.] Not the same servant before spoken of as a wise and faithful steward, that gives to all in the family the portion of meat in due season, and shall be found doing, and be made ruler over his master's goods but another, who also, as he, is made by his Lord ruler over his household, and is in a like post, and in the same office, but is an evil servant, as Matthew calls him, to distinguish him from the other; and so the Arabic and Ethiopic versions read here: my Lord delayeth his coming ; though a wicked servant, he calls Christ his Lord; but it is not saying Lord, Lord, that will be of any avail, but doing the will of God, by believing in Christ, and obeying his commands: he had a notion of the coming of Christ, though he did not desire it; and because he tarried longer than was expected, supposed him to be slack concerning his promise, and began to think, and hope, and at length to believe, that he would not come at all, and therefore gave himself up to a wicked and licentious way of living: and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens ; to persecute the ministers of the Gospel, and the true disciples of Christ, the undefiled virgins, that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes: and to eat, and drink, and to be drunken : to live a voluptuous and sensual life, to give himself up to intemperance and debauchery: and, generally speaking, as professors of religion, when they turn apostates, are the most violent persecutors of the saints; so such persecutors of Christ's, faithful followers are commonly drunkards and debauchees; (see Gill on Matthew 24:48-49).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 41-53 - All are to take to themselves what Christ says in his word, and to inquire concerning it. No one is left so ignorant as not to know man things to be wrong which he does, and many things to be right which he neglects; therefore all are without excuse in their sin. The bringin in the gospel dispensation would occasion desolations. Not that thi would be the tendency of Christ's religion, which is pure, peaceable and loving; but the effect of its being contrary to men's pride an lusts. There was to be a wide publication of the gospel. But befor that took place, Christ had a baptism to be baptized with, fa different from that of water and the Holy Spirit. He must endur sufferings and death. It agreed not with his plan to preach the gospe more widely, till this baptism was completed. We should be zealous i making known the truth, for though divisions will be stirred up, and man's own household may be his foes, yet sinners will be converted, an God will be glorified.
