mnt - Luke:16-17

mnt@Luke:16:1 @ To his disciples he said. "There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and this steward was accused to him of wasting his property.

mnt@Luke:16:2 @ "He called to him to him and said. "What is this that I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship; for you can no longer be steward.

mnt@Luke:16:3 @ "Now the steward said to himself. What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my stewardship? I am not strong enough to dig, to beg I am ashamed.

mnt@Luke:16:4 @ "I know what I will do, so that when I am put out of my stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

mnt@Luke:16:5 @ "So he called to him each of his masters debtors and said to the first, How much money do you owe my master?

mnt@Luke:16:6 @ "A hundred measures of oil, he answered. "He said to him, Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty."

mnt@Luke:16:7 @ "To a second he said, How much do you owe? "The man answered, A hundred measures of wheat. "Here is you bill, he said, change it to eighty measures.

mnt@Luke:16:8 @ "And the master praised the unjust steward because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this world are in relation to their own generation wiser than the sons of the light.

mnt@Luke:16:9 @ "And to you I say, Use mammon, dishonest as it is, to make yourselves friends, so that when it shall fail they will welcome you to the eternal tabernacles.

mnt@Luke:16:10 @ "The man who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he who is unjust in a very little, is unjust also as much.

mnt@Luke:16:11 @ "If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will trust to you the true riches?

mnt@Luke:16:12 @ "And if you are not faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?

mnt@Luke:16:13 @ "No one can be a household servants to two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will cling to the one and despise the other. You cannot be the slave of God and of Mammon."

mnt@Luke:16:14 @ Now the Pharisees who loved money listened to all this and they jeered at him.

mnt@Luke:16:15 @ He said to them. "You are those that justify themselves in the eyes of men; but God knows you hearts; for that which is lofty in the eyes of men is abomination in the eyes of God.

mnt@Luke:16:16 @ "The Law and the Prophet lasted until John; since then the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and any one presses in.

mnt@Luke:16:17 @ "Yet it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away then for one title of the law to fail.

mnt@Luke:16:18 @ "Every man who divorces his wife and marries some one else, commits adultery; and he who marries one who is put away by her husband commits adultery.

mnt@Luke:16:19 @ "Now there was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and made merry every day in splendor.

mnt@Luke:16:20 @ "And a certain beggar named Lazarus was thrown at his door.

mnt@Luke:16:21 @ "He was full of sores, and longingly desired to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich mans table. Yes! even the dogs came and licked his sores.

mnt@Luke:16:22 @ "But in the course of time the beggar died; and he was carried by angels into Abrahams bosom.

mnt@Luke:16:23 @ "The rich man also died, and was buried. And as he was tormented in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.

mnt@Luke:16:24 @ "And he cried out and said, Father Abraham have mercy on me; and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.

mnt@Luke:16:25 @ "Remember my son. said Abraham, that you had in your lifetime all your good things, and in the same way Lazarus his evil things; but now here he is comforted, and you are in anguish.

mnt@Luke:16:26 @ "But besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who want to cross from here to you cannot, nor can those who would cross from you to us.

mnt@Luke:16:27 @ "I beg you then, father, he said, send him to my fathers house. For I have five brothers.

mnt@Luke:16:28 @ "Let him earnestly warn them, lest they too come to this place of torment.

mnt@Luke:16:29 @ "But Abraham said, They have Moses and the Prophets, let them listen to them.

mnt@Luke:16:30 @ "Nay, Father Abraham, he said but if some one went to them from the dead they would repent.

mnt@Luke:16:31 @ "If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, said Father Abraham, neither will they be persuaded if one should rise from the dead."

mnt@Luke:17:1 @ Jesus said to his disciples. "It is not possible but that occasions of stumbling should occur, but woe to him through whom they come!

mnt@Luke:17:2 @ "It were well for him if a millstone were tied about his neck, and he were hurled into the sea, rather than he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

mnt@Luke:17:3 @ "Be on you guard! "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents forgive him.

mnt@Luke:17:4 @ "And if he sins against you seven times a day, and seven times a day turns to you saying I repent, you shall forgive him."

mnt@Luke:17:5 @ The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"

mnt@Luke:17:6 @ "If your faith," answered Jesus, "were like a grain of mustard-seed, you would say to this tree, Tear yourself up and be planted in the sea, and it would obey you.

mnt@Luke:17:7 @ "But who of you who has a slave plowing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he is come in from the field, Come at once, sit down to dinner,

mnt@Luke:17:8 @ "and will not rather tell him, Get ready something for me to eat, and gird yourself to wait on me until I have eaten and drunken. Then you shall eat and drink.

mnt@Luke:17:9 @ "Does he think the slave because he did the things that were commanded?

mnt@Luke:17:10 @ "Even so, you also, after you have done all the things that are commanded you, should say, We are but slaves, we have only done what it was our duty to do."

mnt@Luke:17:11 @ Now it happened that as he went his way to Jerusalem, he passed between Samaria and Galilee.

mnt@Luke:17:12 @ And as he was going certain village ten lepers met him.

mnt@Luke:17:13 @ They stood at a distance and lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, take pity on us."

mnt@Luke:17:14 @ Perceiving this he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priest." And as they went they were made clean.

mnt@Luke:17:15 @ Now one of them, as he saw that he was cured, came back, glorifying God in a loud voice,

mnt@Luke:17:16 @ and he fell on his face at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan.

mnt@Luke:17:17 @ "Were there not ten cleansed?" asked Jesus, "but where are the nine?

mnt@Luke:17:18 @ "Are there none found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner?"

mnt@Luke:17:19 @ And he said unto him, "Rise and go, your faith has healed you."

mnt@Luke:17:20 @ The Pharisees asked him when the kingdom of God was coming. He answered. "The kingdom of God does not come so that you can catch sight of it,

mnt@Luke:17:21 @ "nor will they say, Look here it is! or See there! - for the kingdom of God is now in your midst."

mnt@Luke:17:22 @ Then he said turning to his disciples. "The days will come when you shall long to see one of the days of the Son of man, you shall not see it.

mnt@Luke:17:23 @ "And they shall say to you, Lo there! Lo there! But do not go away or follow them.

mnt@Luke:17:24 @ "For as the lightning when it lightens out of the one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.

mnt@Luke:17:25 @ "But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected buy his generation.

mnt@Luke:17:26 @ "And this was in the time of Noah, so will it be in the time of the Son of man.

mnt@Luke:17:27 @ "Men were eating and drinking; they were marrying and being married, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

mnt@Luke:17:28 @ "The same was true in the time of Lot; they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building;

mnt@Luke:17:29 @ "but on the day that Lot left Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

mnt@Luke:17:30 @ "In the same manner it shall be in the day that the Son of man shall be revealed.

mnt@Luke:17:31 @ "On that day, if a man is on the housetop and his goods inside, let him not go down to take them away; nor should a man in the field turn back.

mnt@Luke:17:32 @ "Remember Lots wife!

mnt@Luke:17:33 @ "Whoever seeks to keep his life shall lose it; but whoever loses it shall preserve it.

mnt@Luke:17:34 @ "I tell you that in one night there shall be two men in one bed; one shall be taken and the other left.

mnt@Luke:17:35 @ "There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken and the other left."

mnt@Luke:17:36 @ (wanting in the most ancient manuscripts)

mnt@Luke:17:37 @ "Where, Master?" they asked him. "Where the dead body is," he answered, "there will the vultures be gathered together."

mnt@Luke:18:1 @ He also taught them by a parable how they ought always to pray and never to lose heart.
