Matthew 24:45-51 Bible in Basic English (BBE)

45 Who is the true and wise servant, whom his lord has put over those in his house, to give them their food at the right time?

46 A blessing on that servant, who will be doing so when his lord comes.

47 Truly, I say to you, he will put him over all he has.

48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, My lord is a long time in coming;

49 And is cruel to the other servants, taking his pleasure with those who are overcome with wine;

50 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not looking for him, and in an hour of which he has no knowledge,

51 And will have him cut in two, and will give him a part in the fate of the false ones: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.
