Luke:16-18
rkjnt@Luke:16:1 @ And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward, and charges were brought to him that the steward was wasting his goods.
rkjnt@Luke:16:2 @ And he called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may no longer be steward.
rkjnt@Luke:16:3 @ Then the steward said to himself, What shall I do? for my lord is taking away my stewardship: I am not strong enough to dig; and I am ashamed to beg.
rkjnt@Luke:16:4 @ I know what to do, so that when I am put out of the stewardship, people will receive me into their houses.
rkjnt@Luke:16:5 @ So he called in every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord?
rkjnt@Luke:16:6 @ And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
rkjnt@Luke:16:7 @ Then he said to another, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill, and write eighty.
rkjnt@Luke:16:8 @ And the lord commended the dishonest steward, because he had acted shrewdly: for the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with own kind than are the children of light.
rkjnt@Luke:16:9 @ And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves using worldly wealth; that, when it fails, they may receive you into the eternal habitations.
rkjnt@Luke:16:10 @ He who is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he who is dishonest in the least is also dishonest in much.
rkjnt@Luke:16:11 @ Therefore, if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
rkjnt@Luke:16:12 @ And if you have not been faithful with that which is another man's, who shall give you possessions of your own?
rkjnt@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. You cannot serve God and money.
rkjnt@Luke:16:14 @ The Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
rkjnt@Luke:16:15 @ And he said to them, You justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
rkjnt@Luke:16:16 @ The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man forces his way into it.
rkjnt@Luke:16:17 @ And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one dot of the law to fail.
rkjnt@Luke:16:18 @ Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
rkjnt@Luke:16:19 @ There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted sumptuously every day:
rkjnt@Luke:16:20 @ And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, covered with sores,
rkjnt@Luke:16:21 @ And he longed to eat the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
rkjnt@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;
rkjnt@Luke:16:23 @ And in Hades he lift up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
rkjnt@Luke:16:24 @ And he cried out, 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.
rkjnt@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said, Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus received evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
rkjnt@Luke:16:26 @ And beside all this, between us and you a great gulf has been fixed: so that those who would pass from here to you cannot; nor can any pass over from there to us.
rkjnt@Luke:16:27 @ He said, Then I beg you, father, that you would send him to my father's house:
rkjnt@Luke:16:28 @ For I have five brothers. Have him warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
rkjnt@Luke:16:29 @ Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
rkjnt@Luke:16:30 @ And he said, No, father Abraham: but if someone went to them from the dead, they will repent.
rkjnt@Luke:16:31 @ And he said to him, If they will not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.
rkjnt@Luke:17:1 @ Then he said to the disciples, It is certain that stumbling blocks will come: but woe to him through whom they come!
rkjnt@Luke:17:2 @ It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and be cast into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
rkjnt@Luke:17:3 @ Be on your guard: If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
rkjnt@Luke:17:4 @ And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times a day comes to you, saying, I repent; you must forgive him.
rkjnt@Luke:17:5 @ And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.
rkjnt@Luke:17:6 @ And the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be plucked up by the root, and be planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
rkjnt@Luke:17:7 @ But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say to him when he has come in from the field, Go sit down to eat?
rkjnt@Luke:17:8 @ Will he not rather say to him, Make something for my supper, and gird yourself, and serve me until I eat and drink; and afterward you shall eat and drink?
rkjnt@Luke:17:9 @ Does he thank that servant because he did as he was commanded?
rkjnt@Luke:17:10 @ So likewise you, when you have done all those things which are commanded of you, say, We are unworthy servants: we have merely done our duty.
rkjnt@Luke:17:11 @ And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed between Samaria and Galilee.
rkjnt@Luke:17:12 @ And as he entered into a certain village, ten leprous men met him. They stood at a distance,
rkjnt@Luke:17:13 @ And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
rkjnt@Luke:17:14 @ And when he saw them, he said to them, Go show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
rkjnt@Luke:17:15 @ And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
rkjnt@Luke:17:16 @ And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
rkjnt@Luke:17:17 @ And Jesus answered, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
rkjnt@Luke:17:18 @ Was no one found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner.
rkjnt@Luke:17:19 @ And he said to him, Arise, go your way: your faith has made you well.
rkjnt@Luke:17:20 @ And when he was asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with signs:
rkjnt@Luke:17:21 @ Nor shall they say, Look, here it is! or, look there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
rkjnt@Luke:17:22 @ And he said to the disciples, The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you shall not see it.
rkjnt@Luke:17:23 @ And they shall say to you, See here!; or, see there!: do not go not after them, or follow them.
rkjnt@Luke:17:24 @ For as the lightning flashes in one part of the sky and shines to the other; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
rkjnt@Luke:17:25 @ But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
rkjnt@Luke:17:26 @ As it was in the days of Noah, so it shall also be in the days of the Son of man.
rkjnt@Luke:17:27 @ They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
rkjnt@Luke:17:28 @ It was the same in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
rkjnt@Luke:17:29 @ But on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
rkjnt@Luke:17:30 @ Even so shall it be on the day when the Son of man is revealed.
rkjnt@Luke:17:31 @ On that day, let him who is upon the housetop, and his goods in the house, not come down to take them away: and likewise let not him who is in the field turn back.
rkjnt@Luke:17:32 @ Remember Lot's wife.
rkjnt@Luke:17:33 @ Whoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
rkjnt@Luke:17:34 @ I tell you, in that night two shall be in one bed; one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
rkjnt@Luke:17:35 @ Two women shall be grinding together; one shall be taken, and the other left.
rkjnt@Luke:17:36 @ [Two men shall be in the field; one shall be taken, and the other left.]
rkjnt@Luke:17:37 @ And they answered and said to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Wherever the body is, there will the vultures be gathered.
rkjnt@Luke:18:1 @ And he spoke a parable to them to show that men ought always to pray, and not loose heart;
rkjnt@Luke:18:2 @ Saying, There was a judge in a city, who did not fear God or respect man:
rkjnt@Luke:18:3 @ And there was a widow in that city; and she kept coming to him, saying, Give me justice against my adversary.
rkjnt@Luke:18:4 @ And he would not for a while: but afterward he said to himself, Though I do not fear God or respect man;
rkjnt@Luke:18:5 @ Yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her justice, lest by her continual coming she wear me out.
rkjnt@Luke:18:6 @ And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
rkjnt@Luke:18:7 @ And shall not God vindicate his elect, who cry day and night to him, and will he delay long with them?
rkjnt@Luke:18:8 @ I tell you that he will vindicate them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?
rkjnt@Luke:18:9 @ And he spoke this parable to certain people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
rkjnt@Luke:18:10 @ Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax gatherer.
rkjnt@Luke:18:11 @ The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax gatherer.
rkjnt@Luke:18:12 @ I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
rkjnt@Luke:18:13 @ And the tax gatherer, standing far off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but beat upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me, a sinner.
rkjnt@Luke:18:14 @ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one who exalts himself shall be abased; and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.
rkjnt@Luke:18:15 @ And they also brought infants to him, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw this, they rebuked them.
rkjnt@Luke:18:16 @ But Jesus called them to him, and said, Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them: for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
rkjnt@Luke:18:17 @ Truly I say to you, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall by no means enter it.
rkjnt@Luke:18:18 @ And a certain ruler asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
rkjnt@Luke:18:19 @ And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? no one is good, except God alone.
rkjnt@Luke:18:20 @ You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour your father and your mother.
rkjnt@Luke:18:21 @ And he said, All these I have kept from my youth up.
rkjnt@Luke:18:22 @ Now when Jesus heard this, he said to him, You still lack one thing: sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
rkjnt@Luke:18:23 @ And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
rkjnt@Luke:18:24 @ And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!
rkjnt@Luke:18:25 @ It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
rkjnt@Luke:18:26 @ And those who heard it said, Who then can be saved?
rkjnt@Luke:18:27 @ And he said, Things that are impossible with men are possible with God.
rkjnt@Luke:18:28 @ Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed you.
rkjnt@Luke:18:29 @ And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
rkjnt@Luke:18:30 @ Who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the world to come, life everlasting.
rkjnt@Luke:18:31 @ Then he took the twelve aside, and said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
rkjnt@Luke:18:32 @ For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully treated, and spit upon:
rkjnt@Luke:18:33 @ And they shall flog him, and put him to death: and on the third day he shall rise again.
rkjnt@Luke:18:34 @ And they understood none of these things: this saying was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things which were spoken.
rkjnt@Luke:18:35 @ And it came to pass, that when he came near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road begging:
rkjnt@Luke:18:36 @ And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
rkjnt@Luke:18:37 @ And they told him, Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
rkjnt@Luke:18:38 @ And he cried out, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
rkjnt@Luke:18:39 @ And those who led the way rebuked him, telling him to hold his peace: but he cried out all the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.
rkjnt@Luke:18:40 @ And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he had come near, he asked him,
rkjnt@Luke:18:41 @ What do you want me to do for you? And he said, Lord, I want to receive my sight.
rkjnt@Luke:18:42 @ And Jesus said to him, Receive your sight: your faith has healed you.
rkjnt@Luke:18:43 @ And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
rkjnt@Luke:19:1 @ And Jesus entered and was passing through Jericho.
