The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, х dichotomeesei (G1371) auton (G846)]. Dichotomy, or cleaving a person in two, was a punishment not unknown in the East. Compare Hebrews 11:37, "Sawn asunder;" and 1 Samuel 15:33; Daniel 2:5.
And will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers, х meta (G3326) toon (G3588) apistoon (G571)] - rather, 'with the unfaithful,' meaning those servants who are found unworthy of trust. In Matthew 24:51 it is, "with the hypocrites;" that is, those falsely calling themselves servants.
