1.5 KiB
Connecting Statement:
In verse 42, Jesus begins to tell another parable.
General Information:
In verse 41, there is a break in the story line as Peter asks Jesus a question about the previous parable.
Who then is ... right time?
Jesus uses a question to answer Peter's question indirectly. He expected those who wanted to be faithful managers to understand that the parable was about them. AT: "I said it for everyone who is ... right time." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
the faithful and wise manager
Jesus tells another parable about how servants should be faithful while they wait for their master to return. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parables)
whom his lord will set over his other servants
"whom his lord puts in charge of his other servants"
Blessed is that servant
"How good it is for that servant"
whom his lord finds doing that when he comes
"if his lord finds him doing that work when he comes back"
Truly I say to you
This expression means they should pay special attention to what he is about to say.
will set him over all his property
"will put him in charge of all his property"
