1And <1161> he said <3004> (5707) also <2532> unto <4314> his <846> disciples <3101>_, There was <2258> (5713) a certain <5100> rich <4145> man <444>_, which <3739> had <2192> (5707) a steward <3623>_; and <2532> the same <3778> was accused <1225> (5681) unto him <846> that <5613> he had wasted <1287> (5723) his <846> goods <5224> (5723)_.
2And <2532> he called <5455> (5660) him <846>_, and said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>_, How <5101> is it that I hear <191> (5719) this <5124> of <4012> thee <4675>_? give <591> (5628) an account <3056> of thy <4675> stewardship <3622>_; for <1063> thou mayest be <1410> (5695) no <3756> longer <2089> steward <3621> (5721)_.
3Then <1161> the steward <3623> said <2036> (5627) within <1722> himself <1438>_, What <5101> shall I do <4160> (5661)_? for <3754> my <3450> lord <2962> taketh away <851> (5731) from <575> me <1700> the stewardship <3622>_: I cannot <3756> <2480> (5719) dig <4626> (5721)_; to beg <1871> (5721) I am ashamed <153> (5727)_.
4I am resolved <1097> (5627) what <5101> to do <4160> (5692)_, that <2443>_, when <3752> I am put out <3179> (5686) of the stewardship <3622>_, they may receive <1209> (5667) me <3165> into <1519> their <846> houses <3624>_.
5So <2532> he called <4341> (5666) every <1538> one <1520> of his <1438> lord's <2962> debtors <5533> [unto him], and said <3004> (5707) unto the first <4413>_, How much <4214> owest thou <3784> (5719) unto my <3450> lord <2962>_?
6And <1161> he said <2036> (5627)_, An hundred <1540> measures <943> of oil <1637>_. And <2532> he said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>_, Take <1209> (5663) thy <4675> bill <1121>_, and <2532> sit down <2523> (5660) quickly <5030>_, and write <1125> (5657) fifty <4004>_. {measures: the word Batus in the original containeth nine gallons three quarts}
7Then <1899> said he <2036> (5627) to another <2087>_, And <1161> how much <4214> owest <3784> (5719) thou <4771>_? And <1161> he said <2036> (5627)_, An hundred <1540> measures <2884> of wheat <4621>_. And <2532> he said <3004> (5719) unto him <846>_, Take <1209> (5663) thy <4675> bill <1121>_, and <2532> write <1125> (5657) fourscore <3589>_. {measures: the word here interpreted a measure in the original containeth about fourteen bushels and two quarts}
8And <2532> the lord <2962> commended <1867> (5656) the unjust <93> steward <3623>_, because <3754> he had done <4160> (5656) wisely <5430>_: for <3754> the children <5207> of this <5127> world <165> are <1526> (5748) in <1519> their <1438> generation <1074> wiser <5429> than <5228> the children <5207> of light <5457>_.
9And I <2504> say <3004> (5719) unto you <5213>_, Make <4160> (5657) to yourselves <1438> friends <5384> of <1537> the mammon <3126> of unrighteousness <93>_; that <2443>_, when <3752> ye fail <1587> (5632)_, they may receive <1209> (5667) you <5209> into <1519> everlasting <166> habitations <4633>_. {mammon: or, riches}
10He that is faithful <4103> in <1722> that which is least <1646> is <2076> (5748) faithful <4103> also <2532> in <1722> much <4183>_: and <2532> he that is unjust <94> in <1722> the least <1646> is <2076> (5748) unjust <94> also <2532> in <1722> much <4183>_.
11If <1487> therefore <3767> ye have <1096> (0) not <3756> been <1096> (5633) faithful <4103> in <1722> the unrighteous <94> mammon <3126>_, who <5101> will commit <4100> (0) to your <5213> trust <4100> (5692) the true <228> [riches]? {mammon: or, riches}
12And <2532> if <1487> ye have <1096> (0) not <3756> been <1096> (5633) faithful <4103> in <1722> that which is another man's <245>_, who <5101> shall give <1325> (5692) you <5213> that which is your own <5212>_?
13No <3762> servant <3610> can <1410> (5736) serve <1398> (5721) two <1417> masters <2962>_: for <1063> either <2228> he will hate <3404> (5692) the one <1520>_, and <2532> love <25> (5692) the other <2087>_; or else <2228> he will hold <472> (5695) to the one <1520>_, and <2532> despise <2706> (5692) the other <2087>_. Ye cannot <3756> <1410> (5736) serve <1398> (5721) God <2316> and <2532> mammon <3126>_.
14And <1161> the Pharisees <5330> also <2532>_, who were <5225> (5723) covetous <5366>_, heard <191> (5707) all <3956> these things <5023>_: and <2532> they derided <1592> (5707) him <846>_.
15And <2532> he said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>_, Ye <5210> are <2075> (5748) they which justify <1344> (5723) yourselves <1438> before <1799> men <444>_; but <1161> God <2316> knoweth <1097> (5719) your <5216> hearts <2588>_: for <3754> that which is highly esteemed <5308> among <1722> men <444> is <2076> (5748) abomination <946> in the sight <1799> of God <2316>_.
16The law <3551> and <2532> the prophets <4396> [were] until <2193> John <2491>_: since <575> that time <5119> the kingdom <932> of God <2316> is preached <2097> (5743)_, and <2532> every man <3956> presseth <971> (5731) into <1519> it <846>_.
17And <1161> it is <2076> (5748) easier <2123> for heaven <3772> and <2532> earth <1093> to pass <3928> (5629)_, than <2228> one <3391> tittle <2762> of the law <3551> to fail <4098> (5629)_.
18Whosoever <3956> putteth away <630> (5723) his <846> wife <1135>_, and <2532> marrieth <1060> (5723) another <2087>_, committeth adultery <3431> (5719)_: and <2532> whosoever <3956> marrieth <1060> (5723) her that is put away <630> (5772) from <575> [her] husband <435> committeth adultery <3431> (5719)_.
19<1161> There was <2258> (5713) a certain <5100> rich <4145> man <444>_, which <2532> was clothed <1737> (5710) in purple <4209> and <2532> fine linen <1040>_, and fared <2165> (5746) sumptuously <2988> every <2596> day <2250>_:
20And <1161> there was <2258> (5713) a certain <5100> beggar <4434> named <3686> Lazarus <2976>_, which <3739> was laid <906> (5718) at <4314> his <846> gate <4440>_, full of sores <1669> (5772)_,
21And <2532> desiring <1937> (5723) to be fed <5526> (5683) with <575> the crumbs <5589> which <3588> fell <4098> (5723) from <575> the rich man's <4145> table <5132>_: moreover <235> <2532> the dogs <2965> came <2064> (5740) and licked <621> (5707) his <846> sores <1668>_.
22And <1161> it came to pass <1096> (5633)_, that the beggar <4434> died <599> (5629)_, and <2532> was carried <667> (5683) by <5259> the angels <32> into <1519> Abraham's <11> bosom <2859>_: the rich man <4145> also <1161> <2532> died <599> (5627)_, and <2532> was buried <2290> (5648)_;
23And <2532> in <1722> hell <86> he lift up <1869> (5660) his <846> eyes <3788>_, being <5225> (5723) in <1722> torments <931>_, and seeth <3708> (5719) Abraham <11> afar <3113> off <575>_, and <2532> Lazarus <2976> in <1722> his <846> bosom <2859>_.
24And <2532> <846> he cried <5455> (5660) and said <2036> (5627)_, Father <3962> Abraham <11>_, have mercy <1653> (5657) on me <3165>_, and <2532> send <3992> (5657) Lazarus <2976>_, that <2443> he may dip <911> (5661) the tip <206> of his <846> finger <1147> in water <5204>_, and <2532> cool <2711> (5661) my <3450> tongue <1100>_; for <3754> I am tormented <3600> (5743) in <1722> this <5026> flame <5395>_.
25But <1161> Abraham <11> said <2036> (5627)_, Son <5043>_, remember <3415> (5682) that <3754> thou <4771> in <1722> thy <4675> lifetime <2222> receivedst <618> (5627) thy <4675> good things <18>_, and <2532> likewise <3668> Lazarus <2976> evil things <2556>_: but <1161> now <3568> <3592> he is comforted <3870> (5743)_, and <1161> thou <4771> art tormented <3600> (5743)_.
26And <2532> beside <1909> all <3956> this <5125>_, between <3342> us <2257> and <2532> you <5216> there is <4741> (0) a great <3173> gulf <5490> fixed <4741> (5769)_: so that <3704> they which would <2309> (5723) pass <1224> (5629) from hence <1782> to <4314> you <5209> cannot <3361> <1410> (5741)_; neither <3366> can they pass <1276> (5725) to <4314> us <2248>_, that [would come] from thence <1564>_.
27Then <1161> he said <2036> (5627)_, I pray <2065> (5719) thee <4571> therefore <3767>_, father <3962>_, that <2443> thou wouldest send <3992> (5661) him <846> to <1519> my <3450> father's <3962> house <3624>_:
28For <1063> I have <2192> (5719) five <4002> brethren <80>_; that <3704> he may testify <1263> (5741) unto them <846>_, lest <3363> they <846> also <2532> come <2064> (5632) into <1519> this <5126> place <5117> of torment <931>_.
29Abraham <11> saith <3004> (5719) unto him <846>_, They have <2192> (5719) Moses <3475> and <2532> the prophets <4396>_; let them hear <191> (5657) them <846>_.
30And <1161> he said <2036> (5627)_, Nay <3780>_, father <3962> Abraham <11>_: but <235> if <1437> one <5100> went <4198> (5680) unto <4314> them <846> from <575> the dead <3498>_, they will repent <3340> (5692)_.
31And <1161> he said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>_, If <1487> they hear <191> (5719) not <3756> Moses <3475> and <2532> the prophets <4396>_, neither <3761> will they be persuaded <3982> (5701)_, though <1437> one <5100> rose <450> (5632) from <1537> the dead <3498>_.
