I´d like to know the Spanish version of this expression, To whom much is given, much is expected.

Thanks in advance.

Rusty has a spectacular aura aboutRusty has a spectacular aura about
Mira en Lucas 12:48.

(versiones differentes del mismo verso)
... A todo el que se le ha dado mucho, se le exigirá mucho ...
... Al que se le ha dado mucho, se le exigirá mucho ...
... A todo el que se le haya dado mucho, mucho se demandará de él ...
... A todo aquel a quien se haya dado mucho, mucho se le demandará ...

Y, en otro verso que conozco:
De aquel a quien mucho se da, mucho se requiere.

Agree with Rusty
al que mucho se le da, mucho se le reclamará
mucho se le exige/exigirá
mucho se le pide


Luke 12:39-48 /San Lucas 12, 39-48
Every one to whom much is given, of him will much be required; and of him to whom men commit much they will demand the more.
Al que mucho se le dio, mucho se le exigirá; al que mucho se le confió, más se le exigirá".
