‏ Luke 12:47-48

Which knew ( ο γνους ). Articular participle (second aorist active, punctiliar and timeless). The one who knows. So as to μη ετοιμασας η ποιησας (does not make ready or do).

Shall be beaten with many stripes ( δαρησετα πολλας ). Second future passive of δερω, to skin, to beat, to flay (see on Mt 21:35; Mr 12:3, 5). The passive voice retains here the accusative πολλας (supply πληγας, present in Lu 10:30). The same explanation applies to ολιγας in verse 48.

To whomsoever much is given ( παντ δε ω εδοθη πολυ ). Here is inverse attraction from ο to παντ (Robertson, Grammar, pp. 767f.). Note παρ' αυτου (from him) without any regard to παντ.

They commit ( παρεθεντο ). Second aorist middle indicative, timeless or gnomic aorist. Note the impersonal plural after the passive voice just before.
