Who is the "evil slave" mentioned at Matthew 24:48-51?

None of the above

Jesus warned about an evil slave who concludes in his heart that the master is delaying and who starts to beat his fellow slaves. When the master arrives, said Jesus, he will punish that evil slave with the greatest severity.Read Matthew 24:48-51. Was Jesus foretelling that there would be an evil slave class in the last days? No. Granted, some individuals have manifested a spirit similar to that of the evil slave described by Jesus. We would call them apostates, whether they were of the anointed or of the great crowd. (Rev. 7:9) But such ones do not make up an evil slave class. Jesus did not say that he would appoint an evil slave. His words here are actually a warning directed to the faithful and discreet slave. Notice that Jesus introduces the warning with the words if ever. One scholar says that in the Greek text, this passage for all practical purposes is a hypothetical condition. In effect, Jesus was saying: If the faithful and discreet slave were ever to mistreat his fellow slaves in these ways, this is what the master will do when he arrives. (See also Luke 12:45.) However, the composite faithful and discreet slave has continued to keep on the watch and to provide nourishing spiritual food. -w13 7/15 p24
