[45] But and  if  that  servant  say  in  his  heart,  lord  delayeth  his coming;  and  shall begin  to beat  the menservants  and  maidens,  and  to eat  and  drink,  and  to be drunken;  [46] The lord  of that  servant  will come  in  a day  when  not  for  him, and  at  an hour  when  not  aware,  and  him  in sunder,  and  will appoint  him his  portion  with  the unbelievers. 

What does Luke 12:45-46 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

However the disciple who disregards Jesus" warnings to be ready for His return and who is unfaithful, abusive, self-centered, and self-indulgent will end up with unbelievers when Jesus returns. [1] The judgments at the beginning of the messianic kingdom immediately following the Second Coming are in view ( Matthew 25:31-46). Since these disciples perish eternally they must correspond to the religious leaders of their day who are unbelievers. Their horrible end is appropriate since they had great privilege and great responsibility but failed in their duty.
