Wycliffe(i)
42 Therfor wake ye, for ye witen not in what our the Lord schal come.
43 But wite ye this, that if the hosebonde man wiste in what our the thefe were to come, certis he wolde wake, and suffre not his hous to be vndurmyned.
44 And therfor be ye redi, for in what our ye gessen not, mannus sone schal come.
45 Who gessist thou is a trewe seruaunt and prudent, whom his lord ordeyned on his meynee, to yyue hem mete in tyme?
46 Blessed is that seruaunt, whom `his lord, whanne he schal come, schal fynde so doynge.
47 Treuli Y seye to you, for on alle his goodis he schal ordeyne hym.
48 But if thilke yuel seruaunt seie in his herte, My lord tarieth to come,
49 and bigynneth to smyte hise euen seruauntis, and ete, and drynke with drunken men;
50 the lord of that seruaunt schal come in the dai which he hopith not, and in the our that he knowith not,
50 and schal departe hym, and putte his part with ypocritis; there schal be wepyng, and gryntyng of teeth.
