Matius 24:45

The Faithful and Wise Slave

24:45 “Who then is the faithful and wise slave, ⁴  whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the other slaves ⁵  their food at the proper time?

[7:24]  ¹ tn Grk “Therefore everyone.” Here οὖν (oun) has not been translated.

[7:24]  ² tn Grk “will be like.” The same phrase occurs in v. 26.

[7:24]  ³ tn Here and in v. 26 the Greek text reads ἀνήρ (anhr), while the parallel account in Luke 6:47-49 uses ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") in vv. 48 and 49.

[24:45]  ⁴ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.

[24:45]  ⁵ tn Grk “give them.”
