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
.
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
.
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
.
I am resolved what
to do
, that
, when
I am put out
of the stewardship
, they may receive
me
into
their
houses
.
So he called
every
one
of his
lord's
debtors
unto him , and said
unto the first
, How much
owest thou
unto my
lord
?
And he said
, An hundred
measures
of oil
. And
he said
unto him
, Take
thy
bill
, and
sit down
quickly
, and write
fifty
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
If therefore
ye have
not
been
faithful
in
the unrighteous
mammon
, who
will commit
to your
trust
the true
riches ?
And if
ye have
not
been
faithful
in
that which is another man's
, who
shall give
you
that which is your own
?
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
.
And the Pharisees
also
, who were
covetous
, heard
all
these things
: and
they derided
him
.
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
.
The law and
the prophets
were until
John
: since
that time
the kingdom
of God
is preached
, and
every man
presseth
into
it
.
And it is
easier
for heaven
and
earth
to pass
, than
one
tittle
of the law
to fail
.
Whosoever putteth away
his
wife
, and
marrieth
another
, committeth adultery
: and
whosoever
marrieth
her that is put away
from
her husband
committeth adultery
.
There was
a certain
rich
man
, which
was clothed
in purple
and
fine linen
, and fared
sumptuously
every
day
:
And there was
a certain
beggar
named
Lazarus
, which
was laid
at
his
gate
, full of sores
,
And desiring
to be fed
with
the crumbs
which
fell
from
the rich man's
table
: moreover
the dogs
came
and licked
his
sores
.
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
;
And in
hell
he lift up
his
eyes
, being
in
torments
, and seeth
Abraham
afar
off
, and
Lazarus
in
his
bosom
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
Then he said
, I pray
thee
therefore
, father
, that
thou wouldest send
him
to
my
father's
house
:
For I have
five
brethren
; that
he may testify
unto them
, lest
they
also
come
into
this
place
of torment
.
Abraham saith
unto him
, They have
Moses
and
the prophets
; let them hear
them
.
And he said
, Nay
, father
Abraham
: but
if
one
went
unto
them
from
the dead
, they will repent
.
And he said
unto him
, If
they hear
not
Moses
and
the prophets
, neither
will they be persuaded
, though
one
rose
from
the dead
.
