MATTHEW 25:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”
His master said to him: well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master. The commendation: well done, good and faithful servant. The good-and-faithful is the summary description of the servant who traded immediately and gained the return. The faithful over a little, set over much is the kingdom's eschatological logic: stewardship in the present age determines responsibility in the age to come. The enter into the joy is the wedding feast's joy — the same joy as the wedding banquet parable.
