This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 12:47. Τὸ θέλημα, will) whereby vigilance is required.-μὴ ἑτοιμάσας, [having got ready]) Neuter, as in ch. Luk 9:52. [There follows ποιήσας in respect of the servant himself: for ἑτοιμάσας has respect to others, whom the servant ought to have got ready.[124]-V. g.]-ΠΟΛΛᾺς, many) viz. πληγὰς, stripes. The same ellipsis occurs, 2Co 11:24.
[124] Engl. Vers. understands ἑαυτὸν to ἑτοιμάσας, “prepared not himself:” it thus loses the point of distinction between ἑτοιμάσας and ποιήσας.-ED. and TRANSL.
