SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:46
vendr el seor de aquel siervo el día que l no espera, y a la hora que l no sabe, y le apartar, y pondr su parte con los infieles.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 12:46
Verse 46. With the unbelievers.] Or, rather, the unfaithful; twn spistwn. Persons who had the light and knowledge of God's word, but made an improper use of the privileges they received. The persons mentioned here differ widely from unbelievers or infidels, viz. those who were in a state of heathenism, because they had not the revelation of the Most High: the latter knew not the will of God, ver. 48, and, though they acted against it, did not do it in obstinacy; the former knew that will, and daringly opposed it. They were unfaithful, and therefore heavily punished.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 46. The Lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him , etc.] For, not coming as was expected, he gives over looking, and concludes he will not come at all; in which he will find himself mistaken, for he will come in the very day which is appointed, though men know not of it, and do not look for it: and at an hour when he is not aware ; for as neither the day, nor hour of Christ's coming are known to any man, it becomes men to look for it every day and hour, lest it come upon them unawares; as it will, on such evil servants before described, with whom it will go ill, as follows: and will cut him in sunder, and appoint him his portion with unbelievers ; whose portion is the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death, ( Revelation 21:8) and by these are meant, not only the Heathens, who never heard of Christ; nor the Jews only, who disbelieved the Messiah, and rejected him when he came; but all deists and atheists, who deny revelation; even all unbelievers of, and scoffers at the coming of Christ, and who put away the evil day far from them; compare with this ( Job 20:29 see Gill on Matthew 24:50-51).
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.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
46. Unbelievers (apistwn). Much better as Rev., the unfaithful; for it is of fidelity, not of faith, that Christ is speaking. Wyc., unfaithful men.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
12:46 {Shall cut him asunder} (dicotomesei). An old and somewhat rare word from dicotomos and that from dica and temnw, to cut, to cut in two. Used literally here. In the N.T. only here and #Mt 24:51. {With the unfaithful} (meta twn apistwn). Not here "the unbelieving" though that is a common meaning of apistos (a privative and pistos, from peiqw), but the unreliable, the untrustworthy. Here #Mt 24:51 has "with the hypocrites," the same point. The parallel with #Mt 24:43-51 ends here. #Mt 24:51 adds the saying about the wailing and the gnashing of teeth. Clearly there Luke places the parable of the wise steward in this context while Matthew has it in the great eschatological discourse. Once again we must either think that Jesus repeated the parable or that one of the writers has misplaced it. Luke alone preserves what he gives in verses #47,48.
