LU-16:1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a
certain rich man,
which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he
had wasted his
goods.
LU-16:2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I
hear this of
thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no
longer steward.
LU-16:3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do?
for my lord
taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am
ashamed.
LU-16:4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of
the stewardship,
they may receive me into their houses.
LU-16:5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors [unto him],
and said unto
the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
LU-16:6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said
unto him, Take
thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
LU-16:7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And
he said, An
hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill,
and write
fourscore.
LU-16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he
had done wisely:
for the children of this world are in their generation wiser
than the children
of light.
LU-16:9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the
mammon of
unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into
everlasting
habitations.
LU-16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful
also in much:
and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
LU-16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the
unrighteous mammon, who
will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
LU-16:12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is
another man's, who
shall give you that which is your own?
LU-16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will
hate the one,
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise
the other. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon.
LU-16:14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all
these things:
and they derided him.
LU-16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify
yourselves before
men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly
esteemed among men
is abomination in the sight of God.
LU-16:16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that
time the
kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
LU-16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than
one tittle of the
law to fail.
LU-16:18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another,
committeth
adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her]
husband
committeth adultery.
LU-16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in
purple and fine
linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
LU-16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which
was laid at his
gate, full of sores,
LU-16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from
the rich man's
table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
LU-16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was
carried by the
angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was
buried;
LU-16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments,
and seeth Abraham
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
LU-16:24 And 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.
LU-16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy
lifetime receivedst
thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is
comforted, and
thou art tormented.
LU-16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a
great gulf fixed:
so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither
can they pass
to us, that [would come] from thence.
LU-16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou
wouldest send
him to my father's house:
LU-16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto
them, lest they
also come into this place of torment.
LU-16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the
prophets; let them
hear them.
LU-16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto
them from the
dead, they will repent.
LU-16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the
prophets,
neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
