1And[G1161] he said[G3004]also[G2532]unto[G4314]his[G846]disciples[G3101], There was[G2258] a certain[G5100]rich[G4145]man[G444], which[G3739]had[G2192] a steward[G3623]; and[G2532] the same[G3778]was[G2258]accused[G1225]unto[G4314]him[G846]that[G5613] he had[G2192]wasted[G1287]his[G846]goods[G5224].
2And[G2532] he called[G5455]him[G846], and[G2532]said[G2036] unto him[G846], How[G5101] is it that I hear[G191]this[G5124]of[G4012]thee?[G4675]give[G591] an account[G3056]of[G4012]thy[G4675]stewardship[G3622]; for[G1063] thou mayest be[G1410]no[G3756]longer[G2089]steward[G3621].
3Then[G1161] the steward[G3623]said[G2036]within[G1722]himself[G1438], What[G5101] shall I do?[G4160]for[G3754]my[G3450]lord[G2962] taketh away[G851]from[G575]me[G1700] the stewardship[G3622]: I cannot[G3756]dig[G4626]; to beg[G1871] I am ashamed[G153].
4
I am resolved[G1097]what[G5101] to do[G4160], that[G2443], when[G3752] I am put out[G3179] of the stewardship[G3622], they may receive[G1209]me[G3165]into[G1519]their[G846]houses[G3624].
5So[G2532] he called[G4341]every[G1538]one[G1520] of his[G1438]lord[G2962]'s debtors[G5533] unto him, and said[G3004] unto the first[G4413], How much[G4214] owest thou[G3784] unto my[G3450]lord?[G2962]
6And[G1161] he said[G2036], An hundred[G1540]measures[G943] of oil[G1637]. And[G2532] he said[G2036] unto him[G846], Take[G1209]thy[G4675]bill[G1121], and[G2532] sit down[G2523]quickly[G5030], and[G2532]write[G1125]fifty[G4004].
7Then[G1899]said[G2036]he[G2036] to another[G2087], And[G1161] how much[G4214]owest[G3784]thou?[G4771]And[G2532]he[G2036]said[G3004], An hundred[G1540]measures[G2884] of wheat[G4621]. And[G2532]he[G2036]said[G3004] unto him[G846], Take[G1209]thy[G4675]bill[G1121], and[G2532]write[G1125]fourscore[G3589].
8And[G2532] the lord[G2962]commended[G1867] the unjust[G93]steward[G3623], because[G3754] he had done[G4160]wisely[G5430]: for[G3754] the children[G5207] of this[G5127]world[G165]are[G1526]in[G1519]their[G1438]generation[G1074]wiser[G5429]than[G5228] the children[G5207] of light[G5457].
9
And I[G2504]say[G3004] unto you[G5213], Make[G4160] to yourselves[G1438]friends[G5384]of[G1537] the mammon[G3126]of[G1537]unrighteousness[G93]; that[G2443], when[G3752] ye fail[G1587], they may receive[G1209]you[G5209]into[G1519]everlasting[G166]habitations[G4633].
10
He that is[G2076]faithful[G4103]in[G1722] that which is[G2076]least[G1646]is[G2076]faithful[G4103]also[G2532]in[G1722]much[G4183]: and[G2532] he that is[G2076]unjust[G94]in[G1722] the least[G1646]is[G2076]unjust[G94]also[G2532]in[G1722]much[G4183].
11If[G1487]therefore[G3767] ye have[G1096]not[G3756]been[G1096]faithful[G4103]in[G1722] the unrighteous[G94]mammon[G3126], who[G5101] will commit[G4100] to your[G5213]trust[G4100] the true[G228] riches?
12And[G2532]if[G1487] ye have[G1096]not[G3756]been[G1096]faithful[G4103]in[G1722] that which is another man's, who[G5101] shall give[G1325]you[G5213] that which is your own?[G5212]
13No[G3762]servant[G3610]can[G1410]serve[G1398]two[G1417]masters[G2962]: for[G1063]either[G2228] he will hate[G3404] the one[G1520], and[G2532]love[G25] the other[G2087]; or else[G2228] he will hold[G472] to the one[G1520], and[G2532]despise[G2706] the other[G2087]. Ye cannot[G3756]serve[G1398]God[G2316]and[G2532]mammon[G3126].
14And[G1161] the Pharisees[G5330]also[G2532], who were[G5225]covetous[G5366], heard[G191]all[G3956] these things[G5023]: and[G2532] they derided[G1592]him[G846].
15And[G2532] he said[G2036] unto them[G846], Ye[G5210]are[G2075] they which justify[G1344]yourselves[G1438]before[G1799]men[G444]; but[G1161]God[G2316]knoweth[G1097]your[G5216]hearts[G2588]: for[G3754] that which is[G2076] highly esteemed[G5308]among[G1722]men[G444]is[G2076]abomination[G946] in the sight[G1799] of God[G2316].
16
The law[G3551]and[G2532] the prophets[G4396] were until[G2193]John[G2491]: since[G575] that time[G5119] the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316] is preached[G2097], and[G2532] every man[G3956]presseth[G971]into[G1519]it[G846].
17And[G1161] it is[G2076]easier[G2123] for heaven[G3772]and[G2532]earth[G1093] to pass[G3928], than[G2228]one[G3391]tittle[G2762] of the law[G3551] to fail[G4098].
18Whosoever[G3956] putteth away[G630]his[G846]wife[G1135], and[G2532]marrieth[G1060]another[G2087], committeth adultery[G3431]: and[G2532]whosoever[G3956]marrieth[G1060] her that is put away[G630]from[G575] her husband[G435] committeth adultery[G3431].
19
There was[G2258] a certain[G5100]rich[G4145]man[G444], which[G2532]was[G2258]clothed[G1737] in purple[G4209]and[G2532] fine linen[G1040], and[G2532]fared[G2165]sumptuously[G2988]every[G2596]day[G2250]:
20And[G1161] there was[G2258] a certain[G5100]beggar[G4434]named[G3686]Lazarus[G2976], which[G3739]was[G2258]laid[G906]at[G4314]his[G846]gate[G4440], full of sores[G1669],
21And[G2532]desiring[G1937] to be fed[G5526]with[G575] the crumbs[G5589]which[G3588]fell[G4098]from[G575] the rich man's table[G5132]: moreover[G235] the dogs[G2965]came[G2064]and[G2532]licked[G621]his[G846]sores[G1668].
22And[G1161] it came to pass[G1096], that the beggar[G4434]died[G599], and[G2532] was carried[G667]by[G5259] the angels[G32]into[G1519] Abraham's bosom[G2859]: the rich man[G4145]also[G1161]died[G599], and[G2532] was buried[G2290];
23And[G2532]in[G1722]hell[G86] he lift up[G1869]his[G846]eyes[G3788], being[G5225]in[G1722]torments[G931], and[G2532]seeth[G3708]Abraham[G11]afar[G3113]off[G575], and[G2532]Lazarus[G2976]in[G1722]his[G846]bosom[G2859].
24And[G2532] he cried[G5455]and[G846]said[G2036], Father[G3962]Abraham[G11], have mercy[G1653] on me[G3165], and[G846]send[G3992]Lazarus[G2976], that[G2443] he may dip[G911] the tip[G206] of his[G846]finger[G1147]in[G1722]water[G5204], and[G846]cool[G2711]my[G3450]tongue[G1100]; for[G3754] I am tormented[G3600]in[G1722]this[G5026]flame[G5395].
25But[G1161]Abraham[G11]said[G2036], Son[G5043], remember[G3415]that[G3754]thou[G4771]in[G1722]thy[G4675]lifetime[G2222]receivedst[G618]thy[G4675] good things[G18], and[G2532]likewise[G3668]Lazarus[G2976] evil things[G2556]: but[G1161]now[G3568] he is comforted[G3870], and[G1161]thou[G4771] art tormented[G3600].
26And[G2532]beside[G1909]all[G3956]this[G5125], between[G3342]us[G2257]and[G2532]you[G5216] there is[G4741] a great[G3173]gulf[G5490]fixed[G4741]: so that[G3704] they which would[G2309]pass[G1224] from hence[G1782]to[G4314]you[G5209]cannot[G3361]; neither[G3366] can they pass[G1276]to[G4314]us[G2248], that[G3704]would[G2309] come from thence[G1564].
27Then[G1161] he said[G2036], I pray[G2065]thee[G4571]therefore[G3767], father[G3962], that[G2443] thou wouldest send[G3992]him[G846]to[G1519]my[G3450]father[G3962]'s house[G3624]:
28For[G1063] I have[G2192]five[G4002]brethren[G80]; that[G3704] he may testify[G1263] unto them[G846], lest[G3363]they[G846]also[G2532]come[G2064]into[G1519]this[G5126]place[G5117] of torment[G931].
29Abraham[G11]saith[G3004] unto him[G846], They have[G2192]Moses[G3475]and[G2532] the prophets[G4396]; let them[G846]hear[G191]them[G846].
30And[G1161] he said[G2036], Nay[G3780], father[G3962]Abraham[G11]: but[G235]if[G1437]one[G5100]went[G4198]unto[G4314]them[G846]from[G575] the dead[G3498], they will repent[G3340].
31And[G1161] he said[G2036] unto him[G846], If[G1487] they hear[G191]not[G3756]Moses[G3475]and[G2532] the prophets[G4396], neither[G3761] will they be persuaded[G3982], though[G1437]one[G5100]rose[G450]from[G1537] the dead[G3498].
