Matthew 24:49 in context

The verses around it, from Matthew 24.

45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?

46 Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

49 And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

50 The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

51 Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
