And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
All Commentaries on Luke 12:47 Go To Luke 12
Basil the Great
AD 379
But you will say, If the one indeed received many stripes, and the other few, how do some say He assigns no end to punishments? But we must know, that what is here said assigns neither measure nor end of punishments, but their differences. For a man may deserve unquenchable fire, to either a slight or more intense degree of heat, and the worm that dies not with greater or more violent gnawings.
