A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 12:47

"And that servant, who knew his lord`s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];" — Luke 12:47 (ASV)

Which knew (ο γνους). Articular participle (second aorist active, punctiliar and timeless). The one who knows. So as to μη ετοιμασας η ποιησας (does not make ready or do).

Shall be beaten with many stripes (δαρησετα πολλας). Second future passive of δερω, to skin, to beat, to flay (Mr 12:3,5). The passive voice retains here the accusative πολλας (supply πληγας, present in Lu 10:30). The same explanation applies to ολιγας in verse 48.
