1And he said also to the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and this man was accused to him that he was wasting his goods. 2And he called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of you? give the account of your stewardship; for you can no longer be steward. 3And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord takes away the stewardship from me? I do not have strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed. 4I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 5And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord? 6And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty. 7Then he said to another, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He says to him, Take your bond, and write eighty. 8And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light. 9And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. 10He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he who is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much. 11If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? 13No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. 14And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him. 15And he said to them, You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God. 16The Torah and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone enters violently into it. 17But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the Torah to fall. 18Everyone who puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and he who marries one who is put away from a husband commits adultery. 19Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day: 20and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table; yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22And it happened, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried. 23And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And 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 in anguish in this flame. 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and you are in anguish. 26And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us. 27And he said, I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house; 28for I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29But Abraham says, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent. 31And he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rises from the dead.
