To cut into pieces.

But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will CUT him IN SUNDER, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. ( Luke 12:45-46 )
