The Parable of the Unjust Steward
|
|
|
|
##### 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.' "**
