rwbs@Luke:16:1 @ And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.

rwbs@Luke:16:2 @ And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

rwbs@Luke:16:3 @ Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.

rwbs@Luke:16:4 @ I am resolved what to do, that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

rwbs@Luke:16:5 @ So he called every one of his lord’s debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?

rwbs@Luke:16:6 @ And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. (note:)measures: the word Batus in the original containeth nine gallons three quarts(:note)

rwbs@Luke:16:7 @ Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty. (note:)measures: the word here interpreted a measure in the original containeth about fourteen bushels and two quarts(:note)

rwbs@Luke: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.

rwbs@Luke:16:9 @ And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends by the riches of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (note:)mammon: or, riches(:note)

rwbs@Luke: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.

rwbs@Luke:16:11 @ If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous riches, who will commit to your trust the true. (note:)mammon: or, riches(:note)

rwbs@Luke: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?

rwbs@Luke: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 riches.

rwbs@Luke:16:14 @ And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they mocked him.

rwbs@Luke:16:15 @ And he said to them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

rwbs@Luke:16:16 @ The law and the prophets until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

rwbs@Luke:16:17 @ And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail.

rwbs@Luke:16:18 @ Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whoever marrieth her that is put away from husband committeth adultery.

rwbs@Luke:16:19 @ There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

rwbs@Luke:16:20 @ And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores,

rwbs@Luke: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.

rwbs@Luke: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;

rwbs@Luke:16:23 @ And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

rwbs@Luke: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.

rwbs@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime didst receive thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

rwbs@Luke:16:26 @ And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from here to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that from there.

rwbs@Luke:16:27 @ Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:

rwbs@Luke:16:28 @ For I have five brethren; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

rwbs@Luke:16:29 @ Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

rwbs@Luke:16:30 @ And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.

rwbs@Luke:16:31 @ And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
