Luke
Chapter 16

1 And he said3004 also2532 to his disciples,3101 There was a certain5100 rich4145 man,444 which3739 had2192 a steward;3623 and the same3778 was accused1225 to him that he had wasted1287 his goods.5224
|
2 And he called5455 him, and said2036 to him, How5101 is it that I hear191 this5124 of you? give591 an account3056 of your stewardship;3622 for you may1410 be no3756 longer2089 steward.3621
|
3 Then1161 the steward3622 said2036 within1722 himself,1438 What5101 shall I do?4160 for my lord2962 takes851 away851 from me the stewardship:3622 I cannot3756 2480 dig;4626 to beg1871 I am ashamed.153
|
4 I am resolved1097 what5101 to do,4160 that, when3752 I am put3179 out of the stewardship,3622 they may receive1209 me into1519 their houses.3624
|
5 So2532 he called4341 every1538 one1520 of his lord's2962 debtors5533 to him, and said3004 to the first,4413 How4214 much4214 owe3784 you to my lord?2962
|
6 And he said,2036 An hundred1540 measures943 of oil.1637 And he said2036 to him, Take1209 your bill,1121 and sit2523 down2523 quickly,5030 and write1125 fifty.4004
|
7 Then1899 said2036 he to another,2087 And how4214 much4214 owe3784 you? And he said,2036 An hundred1540 measures2884 of wheat.4621 And he said3004 to him, Take1209 your bill,1121 and write1125 fourscore.3589
|
8 And the lord2962 commended1867 the unjust93 steward,3622 because3754 he had done4160 wisely:5430 for the children5207 of this5127 world165 are in their generation1074 wiser5429 than5228 the children5207 of light.5457
|
9 And I say3004 to you, Make4160 to yourselves1438 friends5384 of the mammon3126 of unrighteousness;93 that, when3752 you fail,1587 they may receive1209 you into1519 everlasting166 habitations.4633
|
10 He that is faithful4103 in that which is least1646 is faithful4103 also2532 in much:4183 and he that is unjust94 in the least1646 is unjust94 also2532 in much.4183
|
11 If1487 therefore3767 you have not been1096 faithful4103 in the unrighteous94 mammon,3126 who5101 will commit4100 to your5213 trust4100 the true228 riches?
|
12 And if1487 you have not been1096 faithful4103 in that which is another245 man's,245 who5101 shall give1325 you that which is your5212 own?
|
13 No3762 servant3610 can1410 serve1398 two1417 masters:2962 for either2228 he will hate3404 the one,1520 and love25 the other;2087 or2228 else he will hold472 to the one,1520 and despise2706 the other.2087 You cannot3756 1410 serve1398 God2316 and mammon.3126
|
14 And the Pharisees5330 also,2532 who were covetous,5366 heard191 all3956 these5023 things: and they derided1592 him.
|
15 And he said2036 to them, You are they which3588 justify1344 yourselves1438 before1799 men;444 but God2316 knows1097 your5216 hearts:2588 for that which is highly5308 esteemed among1722 men444 is abomination946 in the sight1799 of God.2316
|
16 The law3551 and the prophets4396 were until2193 John:2491 since575 that time5119 the kingdom932 of God2316 is preached,2097 and every3956 man presses971 into1519 it.
|
17 And it is easier2123 for heaven3772 and earth1093 to pass,3928 than2228 one3391 pronunciation mark2762 of the law3551 to fail.4098
|
18 Whoever3956 3588 puts630 away630 his wife,1135 and marries1060 another,2087 commits3431 adultery:3431 and whoever3956 3588 marries1060 her that is put630 away630 from her husband435 commits3431 adultery.3431
|
19 There was a certain5100 rich4145 man,444 which2532 was clothed1737 in purple4209 and fine linen,1040 and fared2165 sumptuously2988 every2596 day:2250
|
20 And there was a certain5100 beggar4434 named3686 Lazarus,2976 which3739 was laid906 at4314 his gate,4440 full of sores,1669
|
21 And desiring1937 to be fed5526 with the crumbs5589 which3588 fell4098 from the rich4145 man's table:5132 moreover235 2532 the dogs2965 came2064 and licked621 his sores.1668
|
22 And it came1096 to pass, that the beggar4434 died,599 and was carried667 by the angels32 into1519 Abraham's11 bosom:2859 the rich4145 man also2532 died,599 and was buried;2290
|
23 And in hell86 he lift1869 up his eyes,3788 being5225 in torments,931 and sees3708 Abraham11 afar3113 off,575 and Lazarus2976 in his bosom.2859
|
24 And he cried5455 and said,2036 Father3962 Abraham,11 have mercy1653 on me, and send3992 Lazarus,2976 that he may dip911 the tip206 of his finger1147 in water,5204 and cool2711 my tongue;1100 for I am tormented3600 in this5026 flame.5395
|
25 But Abraham11 said,2036 Son,5043 remember3415 that you in your lifetime2222 received618 your good18 things, and likewise3668 Lazarus2976 evil2556 things: but now3568 he is comforted,3870 and you are tormented.3600
|
26 And beside1909 all3956 this,5125 between3342 us and you there is a great3173 gulf5490 fixed:4741 so3704 that they which would2309 pass1224 from hence1782 to you cannot;3361 1410 neither3366 can1410 they pass1276 to us, that would come from there.1564
|
27 Then1161 he said,2036 I pray2065 you therefore,3767 father,3962 that you would send3992 him to my father's3962 house:3624
|
28 For I have2192 five4002 brothers;80 that he may testify1263 to them, lest2443 3361 they also2532 come2064 into1519 this5126 place5117 of torment.931
|
29 Abraham11 said3004 to him, They have2192 Moses3475 and the prophets;4396 let them hear191 them.
|
30 And he said,2036 No,3780 father3962 Abraham:11 but if1437 one5100 went4198 to them from the dead,3498 they will repent.3340
|
31 And he said2036 to him, If1487 they hear191 not Moses3475 and the prophets,4396 neither3761 will they be persuaded,3982 though1437 one5100 rose450 from the dead.3498
