Original Language Text
greek
ὁ δὲ μὴ γνοὺς ποιήσας δὲ ἄξια πληγῶν δαρήσεται ὀλίγας. παντὶ δὲ ᾧ ἐδόθη πολύ, πολὺ ζητηθήσεται παρ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ᾧ παρέθεντο πολύ, περισσότερον αἰτήσουσιν αὐτόν.
English Translation
But the one who did not know and did things deserving of blows will be beaten with few. And to everyone to whom much was given, much will be required from him; and from the one to whom much was entrusted, they will ask more of him.
