Luke 16
1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a
certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same
was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it
that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy
stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I
do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship:
Icannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out
of the stewardship, they may receive me into their
houses.
5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto
him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou
unto my lord?
6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he
said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly,
and write fifty.
7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou?
And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he
said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
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.
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of
the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail,
they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
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.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the
unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the
true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is
another man's, who shall give you that which is your
own?
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 mammon.
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard
all these things: and they derided him.
15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify
yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts:
for that which is highly esteemed among men is
abomination in the sight of God.
16 The law and the prophets were until John: since
that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every
man presseth into it.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass,
than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth
another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth
her that is put away from her husband committeth
adultery.
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in
purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every
day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus,
which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
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.
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;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in
torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in
his bosom.
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.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy
lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise
Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and
thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a
great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from
hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us,
that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that
thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto
them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the
prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went
unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and
the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though
one rose from the dead.
