NgokukaLuka 12:42-48

INkosi yaphendula yathi: “Iyiphi inceku ethembekileyo nehlakaniphileyo, inkosi yayo eyakuyibeka ukuba yengamele abendlu yayo, ibabele isabelo sokudla ngesikhathi esifaneleyo na? Ibusisiwe leyo nceku okuyakuthi lapho inkosi yayo ifika, iyifumane yenza kanjalo. Ngiqinisile, ngithi: iyakuyibeka phezu kwakho konke enakho ukuba ikwengamele. Kepha uma leyo nceku ithi enhliziyweni yayo: ‘Inkosi yami isalibele ukuba ifike,’ bese iqala ukushaya izisebenzi zesilisa nezesifazane, idle, iphuze, idakwe, inkosi yaleyo nceku iyakufika ngosuku engayilindele ngalo, nangomzuzu engawaziyo, iyijezise ngokuyibulala kabuhlungu, bese iyilahla nabangakholwayo. “Inceku eyaziyo ukuthi inkosi ifunani, kodwa ingazilungiseleli ukwenza lokho okufunwa yinkosi, iyakushaywa imivimbo eminingi. Kepha leyo eyenze okungafanele ngenxa yokungazi, iyakushaywa imivimbo embalwa. Yilowo nalowo ophiwe okuningi, kuyakufunwa okuningi kuye, nophathiswe okuningi, kuyakubizwa okuningi kakhulu kuye.”
