A scene from 12 Years a Slave 2013
Edwin Epps Michael Fassbender

"And that servant which knew his Lord's will... which knew his Lord's will and prepared not himself... prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes..." D'ye hear that? "Stripes." That **** that don't take care, that don't obey his lord - that's his master - d'ye see? - that 'ere **** shall be beaten with many stripes. Now, "many" signifies a great many. Forty, a hundred, a hundred and fifty lashes... That's Scripture.
