SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:48
Mas el que no entendi, e hizo cosas dignas de azotes, ser azotado poco; porque a cualquiera que fue dado mucho, mucho ser vuelto a demandar de l; y al que encomendaron mucho, ms le ser pedido.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 12:48
Verse 48. Shall be beaten with few] For petty offenses the Jews in many cases inflicted so few as four, five, and six stripes. See examples in Lightfoot. From this and the preceding verse we find that it is a crime to be ignorant of God's will; because to every one God has given less or more of the means of instruction. Those who have had much light, or the opportunity of receiving much, and have not improved it to their own salvation, and the good of others, shall have punishment proportioned to the light they have abused. On the other hand, those who have had little light, and few means of improvement, shall have few stripes, shall be punished only for the abuse of the knowledge they possessed. See at the end of the chapter.
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.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
12:48 {To whomsoever much is given} (panti de hwi edoqe polu). Here is inverse attraction from hoi to panti (Robertson, _Grammar_, pp. 767f.). Note par' autou (from him) without any regard to panti. {They commit} (pareqento). Second aorist middle indicative, timeless or gnomic aorist. Note the impersonal plural after the passive voice just before.
