Truly, I say to you: see comment at 5.18.

Possessions (see 19.21 and 25.14) may be used of anything that a person owns; New Jerusalem Bible has “everything he owns,” while others have “property” (Good News Translation, New English Bible, New American Bible, Phillips).

Verses 45-47 need to be translated together if the passage is to be natural. One possibility is:

• Suppose there is a servant who is loyal and obedient so that his master puts him in charge of the rest of the household and tells him to give them all their food supplies at the proper time. If the master comes and finds him doing this work, then things will be well for that servant because the master will put him in charge of all his property.
