International Standard Version Help
16Now Jesus was saying to the disciples, "A rich man had a servant manager who was accused of wasting his assets.G1161G3004G2532G4314G846G3101G2258G5100G4145G444G3739G2192G3623G2532G3778G1225G846G5613G1287G846G5224
2So he called for him and asked him, 'What's this I hear about you? You can't be my manager any longer. Now give me a report about your management!'G2532G5455G846G2036G846G5101G191G5124G4012G4675G591G3056G4675G3622G1063G1410G3756G2089G3621
3"Then the servant manager said to himself, 'What should I do? My master is taking my position away from me. I'm not strong enough to plow, and I'm ashamed to beg.G1161G3623G2036G1722G1438G5101G4160G3754G3450G2962G851G575G1700G3622G3756G2480G4626G1871G153
4I know what I'll do so that people will welcome me into their homes when I'm dismissed from my job.'3G1097G5101G4160G2443G3752G3179G3622G1209G3165G1519G846G3624
5"So he called for each of his master's debtors. He asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'G2532G4341G1538G1520G1438G2962G5533G3004G4413G4214G3784G3450G2962
6The man replied, 'A hundred jars of olive oil.' The manager told him, 'Get your bill. Sit down quickly and write "50."'G1161G2036G1540G943G1637G2532G2036G846G1209G4675G1121G2532G2523G5030G1125G4004
7Then he asked another debtor, 'How much do you owe?' The man replied, 'A hundred containers of wheat.' The manager told him, 'Get your bill and write "80."'G1899G2036G2087G1161G4214G3784G4771G1161G2036G1540G2884G4621G2532G3004G846G1209G4675G1121G2532G1125G3589
8The master praised the dishonest servant manager for being so clever, because worldly people are more clever than enlightened people in dealing with their own.G2532G2962G1867G93G3623G3754G4160G5430G3754G5207G5127G165G1526G1519G1438G1074G5429G5228G5207G5457
9"I'm telling you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails, they will welcome you into eternal homes.G2504G3004G5213G4160G1438G5384G1537G3126G93G2443G3752G1587G1209G5209G1519G166G4633
10Whoever is faithful with very little is also faithful with a lot, and whoever is dishonest with very little is also dishonest with a lot.G4103G1722G1646G2076G4103G2532G1722G4183G2532G94G1722G1646G2076G94G2532G1722G4183
11So if you haven't been faithful with unrighteous wealth, who will trust you with true wealth -G1487G3767G1096G3756G1096G4103G1722G94G3126G5101G4100G5213G4100G228
12And if you haven't been faithful with what belongs to foreigners, who will give you what is your own -G2532G1487G1096G3756G1096G4103G1722G245G5101G1325G5213G5212
13"No servant can serve two masters, because either he will hate one and love the other, or be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and wealth!"G3762G3610G1410G1398G1417G2962G1063G2228G3404G1520G2532G25G2087G2228G472G1520G2532G2706G2087G3756G1410G1398G2316G2532G3126
14Now the Pharisees, who love money, had been listening to all this and began to ridicule Jesus.G1161G5330G2532G5225G5366G191G3956G5023G2532G1592G846
15So he said to them, "You try to justify yourselves in front of people, but God knows your hearts, because what is highly valued by people is detestable to God.G2532G2036G846G5210G2075G1344G1438G1799G444G1161G2316G1097G5216G2588G3754G5308G1722G444G2076G946G1799G2316
16"The Law and the Prophets remained until John. Since then, the good news about the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone entering it is under attack.G3551G2532G4396G2193G2491G575G5119G932G2316G2097G2532G3956G971G1519G846
17However, it is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for one stroke of a letter in the Law to be dropped.G1161G2076G2123G3772G2532G1093G3928G2228G3391G2762G3551G4098
18Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery."G3956G630G846G1135G2532G1060G2087G3431G2532G3956G1060G630G575G435G3431
19"Once there was a rich man who used to dress in purple and fine linen and live in great luxury every day.G1161G2258G5100G4145G444G2532G1737G4209G2532G1040G2165G2988G2596G2250
20A beggar named Lazarus, who was covered with sores, was brought to his gate.G1161G2258G5100G4434G3686G2976G3739G906G4314G846G4440G1669
21He was always trying to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs used to come and lick his sores.G2532G1937G5526G575G5589G3588G4098G575G4145G5132G235G2532G2965G2064G621G846G1668
22"One day the beggar died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried.G1161G1096G4434G599G2532G667G5259G32G1519G11G2859G4145G1161G2532G599G2532G2290
23In the afterlife, where he was in constant torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus by his side.G2532G1722G86G1869G846G3788G5225G1722G931G3708G11G3113G575G2532G2976G1722G846G2859
24So he shouted, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water to cool off my tongue, because I am suffering in this fire.'16G2532G846G5455G2036G3962G11G1653G3165G2532G3992G2976G2443G911G206G846G1147G5204G2532G2711G3450G1100G3754G3600G1722G5026G5395
25"But Abraham said, 'My child, remember that during your lifetime you received blessings, while Lazarus received hardships. But now he is being comforted here, while you suffer.G1161G11G2036G5043G3415G3754G4771G1722G4675G2222G618G4675G18G2532G3668G2976G2556G1161G3568G3592G3870G1161G4771G3600
26Besides all this, a wide chasm has been fixed between us, so that those who want to cross from this side to you cannot do so, nor can they cross from your side to us.'G2532G1909G3956G5125G3342G2257G2532G5216G4741G3173G5490G4741G3704G2309G1224G1782G4314G5209G3361G1410G3366G1276G4314G2248G1564
27"The rich man said, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house -G1161G2036G2065G4571G3767G3962G2443G3992G846G1519G3450G3962G3624
28because I have five brothers - to warn them, so that they won't end up in this place of torture, too.'16G1063G2192G4002G80G3704G1263G846G3363G846G2532G2064G1519G5126G5117G931
29"Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets. They should listen to them!'G11G3004G846G2192G3475G2532G4396G191G846
30"But the rich man replied, 'No, father Abraham! But if someone from the dead went to them, they would repent.'G1161G2036G3780G3962G11G235G1437G5100G4198G4314G846G575G3498G3340
31"Then Abraham said to him, 'If your brothers do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded, even if someone were to rise from the dead.'"G1161G2036G846G1487G191G3756G3475G2532G4396G3761G3982G1437G5100G450G1537G3498
