16He also said to the disciples: "There was a rich man who received an accusation that his manager was squandering his possessions.G1161G3004G2532G4314G846G3101G2258G5100G4145G444G3739G2192G3623G2532G3778G1225G846G5613G1287G846G5224
2So he called the manager in and asked, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you can no longer be [my] manager.'G2532G5455G846G2036G846G5101G191G5124G4012G4675G591G3056G4675G3622G1063G1410G3756G2089G3621
3"Then the manager said to himself, 'What should I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I'm not strong enough to dig; I'm ashamed to beg.G1161G3623G2036G1722G1438G5101G4160G3754G3450G2962G851G575G1700G3622G3756G2480G4626G1871G153
4I know what I'll do so that when I'm removed from management, people will welcome me into their homes.'G1097G5101G4160G2443G3752G3179G3622G1209G3165G1519G846G3624
5"So he summoned each one of his master's debtors. 'How much do you owe my master?' he asked the first one.G2532G4341G1538G1520G1438G2962G5533G3004G4413G4214G3784G3450G2962
6" 'A hundred measures of oil,' he said. " 'Take your invoice,' he told him, 'sit down quickly, and write 50.'G1161G2036G1540G943G1637G2532G2036G846G1209G4675G1121G2532G2523G5030G1125G4004
7"Next he asked another, 'How much do you owe?' " 'A hundred measures of wheat,' he said. " 'Take your invoice,' he told him, 'and write 80.'G1899G2036G2087G1161G4214G3784G4771G1161G2036G1540G2884G4621G2532G3004G846G1209G4675G1121G2532G1125G3589
8"The master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted astutely. For the sons of this age are more astute than the sons of light [in dealing] with their own people.G2532G2962G1867G93G3623G3754G4160G5430G3754G5207G5127G165G1526G1519G1438G1074G5429G5228G5207G5457
9And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of the unrighteous money so that when it fails, they may welcome you into eternal dwellings.G2504G3004G5213G4160G1438G5384G1537G3126G93G2443G3752G1587G1209G5209G1519G166G4633
10Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and whoever is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.G4103G1722G1646G2076G4103G2532G1722G4183G2532G94G1722G1646G2076G94G2532G1722G4183
11So if you have not been faithful with the unrighteous money, who will trust you with what is genuine?G1487G3767G1096G3756G1096G4103G1722G94G3126G5101G4100G5213G4100G228
12And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to someone else, who will give you what is your own?G2532G1487G1096G3756G1096G4103G1722G245G5101G1325G5213G5212
13No household slave can be the slave of two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't be slaves to both God and money."G3762G3610G1410G1398G1417G2962G1063G2228G3404G1520G2532G25G2087G2228G472G1520G2532G2706G2087G3756G1410G1398G2316G2532G3126
14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and scoffing at Him.G1161G5330G2532G5225G5366G191G3956G5023G2532G1592G846
15And He told them: "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the sight of others, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly admired by people is revolting in God's sight.G2532G2036G846G5210G2075G1344G1438G1799G444G1161G2316G1097G5216G2588G3754G5308G1722G444G2076G946G1799G2316
16"The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then, the good news of the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is strongly urged to enter it.G3551G2532G4396G2193G2491G575G5119G932G2316G2097G2532G3956G971G1519G846
17But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter in the law to drop out.G1161G2076G2123G3772G2532G1093G3928G2228G3391G2762G3551G4098
18"Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and everyone who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.G3956G630G846G1135G2532G1060G2087G3431G2532G3956G1060G630G575G435G3431
19"There was a rich man who would dress in purple and fine linen, feasting lavishly every day.G1161G2258G5100G4145G444G2532G1737G4209G2532G1040G2165G2988G2596G2250
20But a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, was left at his gate.G1161G2258G5100G4434G3686G2976G3739G906G4314G846G4440G1669
21He longed to be filled with what fell from the rich man's table, but instead the dogs would come and lick his sores.G2532G1937G5526G575G5589G3588G4098G575G4145G5132G235G2532G2965G2064G621G846G1668
22One day the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried.G1161G1096G4434G599G2532G667G5259G32G1519G11G2859G4145G1161G2532G599G2532G2290
23And being in torment in Hades, he looked up and saw Abraham a long way off, with Lazarus at his side.G2532G1722G86G1869G846G3788G5225G1722G931G3708G11G3113G575G2532G2976G1722G846G2859
24'Father Abraham!' he called out, 'Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame!'G2532G846G5455G2036G3962G11G1653G3165G2532G3992G2976G2443G911G206G846G1147G5204G2532G2711G3450G1100G3754G3600G1722G5026G5395
25" 'Son,' Abraham said, 'remember that during your life you received your good things, just as Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.G1161G11G2036G5043G3415G3754G4771G1722G4675G2222G618G4675G18G2532G3668G2976G2556G1161G3568G3592G3870G1161G4771G3600
26Besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that those who want to pass over from here to you cannot; neither can those from there cross over to us.'G2532G1909G3956G5125G3342G2257G2532G5216G4741G3173G5490G4741G3704G2309G1224G1782G4314G5209G3361G1410G3366G1276G4314G2248G1564
27" 'Father,' he said, 'then I beg you to send him to my father's house—G1161G2036G2065G4571G3767G3962G2443G3992G846G1519G3450G3962G3624
28because I have five brothers— to warn them, so they won't also come to this place of torment.'G1063G2192G4002G80G3704G1263G846G3363G846G2532G2064G1519G5126G5117G931
29"But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.'G11G3004G846G2192G3475G2532G4396G191G846
30" 'No, father Abraham,' he said. 'But if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'G1161G2036G3780G3962G11G235G1437G5100G4198G4314G846G575G3498G3340
31"But he told him, 'If they don't listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.'"G1161G2036G846G1487G191G3756G3475G2532G4396G3761G3982G1437G5100G450G1537G3498
