# Chapter 16
|
|
1. He also said to His disciples: *"There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods.*
|
|
2. *So he called him and said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.'*
|
|
|
|
3. *"Then the steward said within himself, 'What shall I do? For my master is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.*
|
|
4. *I have resolved what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.'*
|
|
|
|
5. *"So he called every one of his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'*
|
|
6. *And he said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' So he said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'*
|
|
7. *Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' So he said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' And he said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'*
|
|
8. *So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light.*
|
|
|
|
9. *"And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home.*
|
|
10. *He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.*
|
|
11. *Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?*
|
|
12. *And if you have not been faithful in what is another man's, who will give you what is your own?*
|
|
|
|
13. *"No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."*The Law, the Prophets, and the Kingdom
|
|
|
|
14. Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him.
|
|
15. And He said to them, *"You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.*
|
|
|
|
16. *"The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.*
|
|
17. *And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.*
|
|
|
|
18. *"Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.*The Rich Man and Lazarus
|
|
|
|
19. *"There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day.*
|
|
20. *But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,*
|
|
21. *desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.*
|
|
22. *So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.*
|
|
23. *And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.*
|
|
|
|
24. *"Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.'*
|
|
25. *But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.*
|
|
26. *And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.'*
|
|
|
|
27. *"Then he said, 'I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,*
|
|
28. *for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.'*
|
|
29. *Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.'*
|
|
30. *And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'*
|
|
31. *But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.' "*
