And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
And he starts treating his coworkers terribly while partying and getting wasted with people who couldn't care less about responsibility.
When you think no one's watching, your true character shows up.
📚 Historical Context
In the context of Jesus' Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24, He is speaking to His disciples about the signs of the end times and the need for faithful stewardship while awaiting His return. This verse is part of a parable about a wicked servant who, believing his master is delayed, abuses his fellow servants and indulges in sinful excesses like drunkenness. Jesus uses this illustration to emphasize the consequences of unfaithfulness in a first-century Jewish setting, where servants were expected to manage household affairs responsibly.
