Matthew 24:45-47

The Faithful and Wise Slave

24:45 “Who then is the faithful and wise slave, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the other slaves their food at the proper time? 24:46 Blessed is that slave whom the master finds at work when he comes. 24:47 I tell you the truth, the master will put him in charge of all his possessions.


tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.

tn Grk “give them.”

tn That is, doing his job, doing what he is supposed to be doing.

tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

tn Grk “he”; the referent (the master) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
