"a master of a house" (oikos, "a house," despotes, "a master"), is rendered "master of the house" in Matthew 10:25; Luke 13:25; 14:21 , where the context shows that the authority of the "householder" is stressed; in Matthew 24:43; Luke 12:39 , the RV "master of the house" (AV, "goodman of the house," does not give the exact meaning); "householder" is the rendering in both versions in Matthew 13:27,52; 20:1; 21:33; so the RV in Matthew 20:11 (for AV, "goodman of the house"); both have "goodman of the house" in Mark 14:14; in Luke 22:11 , "goodman." See GOODMAN.
corresponding to A, "to rule a house," is used in 1 Timothy 5:14 , RV, "rule the household" (AV, "guide the house").
