The Son of Man Will Come in an Hour When You Don't Expect

The parable of the fool and the gallant is a two-part one. The Fool acts like a big drunk jerk who hits people when his master isn't present. The Gallant does responsible things, just in the same way he would if the master were present. Matthew 24:24 shows us how to think about this motif of the servant that comes up so much,. It seems to have some thematic consistency throughout the book of matthew.
