* And he said (5707 ) also unto his disciples , There was (5713 ) a certain rich man , which had (5707 ) a steward ; and the same was accused (5681 ) unto him that he had wasted (5723 ) his goods (5723 ). * And he called (5660 ) him , and said (5627 ) unto him , How is it that I hear (5719 ) this of thee ? give (5628 ) an account of thy stewardship ; for thou mayest be (5695 ) no longer steward (5721 ). * Then the steward said (5627 ) within himself , What shall I do (5661 )? for my lord taketh away (5731 ) from me the stewardship : I cannot (5719 ) dig (5721 ); to beg (5721 ) I am ashamed (5727 ). * I am resolved (5627 ) what to do (5692 ), that , when I am put out (5686 ) of the stewardship , they may receive (5667 ) me into their houses . * So he called (5666 ) every one of his lords debtors unto him , and said (5707 ) unto the first , How much owest thou (5719 ) unto my lord ? * And he said (5627 ), An hundred measures of oil . And he said (5627 ) unto him , Take (5663 ) thy bill , and sit down (5660 ) quickly , and write (5657 ) fifty . * Then said he (5627 ) to another , And how much owest (5719 ) thou ? And he said (5627 ), An hundred measures of wheat . And he said (5719 ) unto him , Take (5663 ) thy bill , and write (5657 ) fourscore . * And the lord commended (5656 ) the unjust steward , because he had done (5656 ) wisely : for the children of this world are (5748 ) in their generation wiser than the children of light . * And I say (5719 ) unto you , Make (5657 ) to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness ; that , when ye fail (5632 ), they may receive (5667 ) you into everlasting habitations . * He that is faithful in that which is least is (5748 ) faithful also in much : and he that is unjust in the least is (5748 ) unjust also in much . * If therefore ye have not been (5633 ) faithful in the unrighteous mammon , who will commit to your trust (5692 ) the true riches ? * And if ye have not been (5633 ) faithful in that which is another mans , who shall give (5692 ) you that which is your own ? * No servant can (5736 ) serve (5721 ) two masters : for either he will hate (5692 ) the one , and love (5692 ) the other ; or else he will hold (5695 ) to the one , and despise (5692 ) the other . Ye cannot (5736 ) serve (5721 ) God and mammon . * And the Pharisees also , who were (5723 ) covetous , heard (5707 ) all these things : and they derided (5707 ) him . * And he said (5627 ) unto them , Ye are (5748 ) they which justify (5723 ) yourselves before men ; but God knoweth (5719 ) your hearts : for that which is highly esteemed among men is (5748 ) abomination in the sight of God . * The law and the prophets were until John : since that time the kingdom of God is preached (5743 ), and every man presseth (5731 ) into it . * And it is (5748 ) easier for heaven and earth to pass (5629 ), than one tittle of the law to fail (5629 ). * Whosoever putteth away (5723 ) his wife , and marrieth (5723 ) another , committeth adultery (5719 ): and whosoever marrieth (5723 ) her that is put away (5772 ) from her husband committeth adultery (5719 ). * There was (5713 ) a certain rich man , which was clothed (5710 ) in purple and fine linen , and fared (5746 ) sumptuously every day : * And there was (5713 ) a certain beggar named Lazarus , which was laid (5718 ) at his gate , full of sores (5772 ), * And desiring (5723 ) to be fed (5683 ) with the crumbs which fell (5723 ) from the rich mans table : moreover the dogs came (5740 ) and licked (5707 ) his sores . * And it came to pass (5633 ), that the beggar died (5629 ), and was carried (5683 ) by the angels into Abrahams bosom : the rich man also died (5627 ), and was buried (5648 ); * And in hell he lift up (5660 ) his eyes , being (5723 ) in torments , and seeth (5719 ) Abraham afar off , and Lazarus in his bosom . * And he cried (5660 ) and said (5627 ), Father Abraham , have mercy (5657 ) on me , and send (5657 ) Lazarus , that he may dip (5661 ) the tip of his finger in water , and cool (5661 ) my tongue ; for I am tormented (5743 ) in this flame . * But Abraham said (5627 ), Son , remember (5682 ) that thou in thy lifetime receivedst (5627 ) thy good things , and likewise Lazarus evil things : but now he is comforted (5743 ), and thou art tormented (5743 ). * And beside all this , between us and you there is a great gulf fixed (5769 ): so that they which would (5723 ) pass (5629 ) from hence to you cannot (5741 ); neither can they pass (5725 ) to us , that would come from thence . * Then he said (5627 ), I pray (5719 ) thee therefore , father , that thou wouldest send (5661 ) him to my fathers house : * For I have (5719 ) five brethren ; that he may testify (5741 ) unto them , lest they also come (5632 ) into this place of torment . * Abraham saith (5719 ) unto him , They have (5719 ) Moses and the prophets ; let them hear (5657 ) them . * And he said (5627 ), Nay , father Abraham : but if one went (5680 ) unto them from the dead , they will repent (5692 ). * And he said (5627 ) unto him , If they hear (5719 ) not Moses and the prophets , neither will they be persuaded (5701 ), though one rose (5632 ) from the dead .
