1 # And <1161> he said <3004> (5707) also <2532> unto <4314> his <846> disciples <3101>, There was <2258> (5713) a certain <5100> rich <4145> man <444>, which <3739> had <2192> (5707) a steward <3623>; and <2532> the same <3778> was accused <1225> (5681) unto him <846> that <5613> he had wasted <1287> (5723) his <846> goods <5224> (5723).
2 And <2532> he called <5455> (5660) him <846>, and said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>, How <5101> is it that I hear <191> (5719) this <5124> of <4012> thee <4675>? give <591> (5628) an account <3056> of thy <4675> stewardship <3622>; for <1063> thou mayest be <1410> (5695) no <3756> longer <2089> steward <3621> (5721).
3 Then <1161> the steward <3623> said <2036> (5627) within <1722> himself <1438>, What <5101> shall I do <4160> (5661)? for <3754> my <3450> lord <2962> taketh away <851> (5731) from <575> me <1700> the stewardship <3622>: I cannot <3756> <2480> (5719) dig <4626> (5721); to beg <1871> (5721) I am ashamed <153> (5727).
4 I am resolved <1097> (5627) what <5101> to do <4160> (5692), that <2443>, when <3752> I am put out <3179> (5686) of the stewardship <3622>, they may receive <1209> (5667) me <3165> into <1519> their <846> houses <3624>.
5 So <2532> he called <4341> (5666) every <1538> one <1520> of his <1438> lord's <2962> debtors <5533> unto him, and said <3004> (5707) unto the first <4413>, How much <4214> owest thou <3784> (5719) unto my <3450> lord <2962>?
6 And <1161> he said <2036> (5627), An hundred <1540> measures <943> of oil <1637>. And <2532> he said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>, Take <1209> (5663) thy <4675> bill <1121>, and <2532> sit down <2523> (5660) quickly <5030>, and write <1125> (5657) fifty <4004>.
7 Then <1899> said he <2036> (5627) to another <2087>, And <1161> how much <4214> owest <3784> (5719) thou <4771>? And <1161> he said <2036> (5627), An hundred <1540> measures <2884> of wheat <4621> . And <2532> he said <3004> (5719) unto him <846>, Take <1209> (5663) thy <4675> bill <1121>, and <2532> write <1125> (5657) fourscore <3589>.
8 And <2532> the lord <2962> commended <1867> (5656) the unjust <93> steward <3623>, because <3754> he had done <4160> (5656) wisely <5430>: for <3754> the children <5207> of this <5127> world <165> are <1526> (5748) in <1519> their <1438> generation <1074> wiser <5429> than <5228> the children <5207> of light <5457>.
9 And I <2504> say <3004> (5719) unto you <5213>, Make <4160> (5657) to yourselves <1438> friends <5384> of <1537> the mammon <3126> of unrighteousness <93>; that <2443>, when <3752> ye fail <1587> (5632), they may receive <1209> (5667) you <5209> into <1519> everlasting <166> habitations <4633>.
10 He that is faithful <4103> in <1722> that which is least <1646> is <2076> (5748) faithful <4103> also <2532> in <1722> much <4183>: and <2532> he that is unjust <94> in <1722> the least <1646> is <2076> (5748) unjust <94> also <2532> in <1722> much <4183>.
11 If <1487> therefore <3767> ye have <1096> <0> not <3756> been <1096> (5633) faithful <4103> in <1722> the unrighteous <94> mammon <3126>, who <5101> will commit <4100> <0> to your <5213> trust <4100> (5692) the true <228> riches?
12 And <2532> if <1487> ye have <1096> <0> not <3756> been <1096> (5633) faithful <4103> in <1722> that which is another man's <245>, who <5101> shall give <1325> (5692) you <5213> that which is your own <5212>?
13 No <3762> servant <3610> can <1410> (5736) serve <1398> (5721) two <1417> masters <2962>: for <1063> either <2228> he will hate <3404> (5692) the one <1520>, and <2532> love <25> (5692) the other <2087>; or else <2228> he will hold <472> (5695) to the one <1520>, and <2532> despise <2706> (5692) the other <2087>. Ye cannot <3756> <1410> (5736) serve <1398> (5721) God <2316> and <2532> mammon <3126>.
14 And <1161> the Pharisees <5330> also <2532>, who were <5225> (5723) covetous <5366>, heard <191> (5707) all <3956> these things <5023>: and <2532> they derided <1592> (5707) him <846>.
15 And <2532> he said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, Ye <5210> are <2075> (5748) they which justify <1344> (5723) yourselves <1438> before <1799> men <444>; but <1161> God <2316> knoweth <1097> (5719) your <5216> hearts <2588>: for <3754> that which is highly esteemed <5308> among <1722> men <444> is <2076> (5748) abomination <946> in the sight <1799> of God <2316>.
16 The law <3551> and <2532> the prophets <4396> were until <2193> John <2491>: since <575> that time <5119> the kingdom <932> of God <2316> is preached <2097> (5743), and <2532> every man <3956> presseth <971> (5731) into <1519> it <846>.
17 And <1161> it is <2076> (5748) easier <2123> for heaven <3772> and <2532> earth <1093> to pass <3928> (5629), than <2228> one <3391> tittle <2762> of the law <3551> to fail <4098> (5629) .
18 Whosoever <3956> putteth away <630> (5723) his <846> wife <1135>, and <2532> marrieth <1060> (5723) another <2087>, committeth adultery <3431> (5719): and <2532> whosoever <3956> marrieth <1060> (5723) her that is put away <630> (5772) from <575> her husband <435> committeth adultery <3431> (5719).
- ADULTERY
19 # <1161> There was <2258> (5713) a certain <5100> rich <4145> man <444>, which <2532> was clothed <1737> (5710) in purple <4209> and <2532> fine linen <1040>, and fared <2165> (5746) sumptuously <2988> every <2596> day <2250>:
20 And <1161> there was <2258> (5713) a certain <5100> beggar <4434> named <3686> Lazarus <2976> , which <3739> was laid <906> (5718) at <4314> his <846> gate <4440>, full of sores <1669> (5772) ,
21 And <2532> desiring <1937> (5723) to be fed <5526> (5683) with <575> the crumbs <5589> which <3588> fell <4098> (5723) from <575> the rich man's <4145> table <5132>: moreover <235> <2532> the dogs <2965> came <2064> (5740) and licked <621> (5707) his <846> sores <1668>.
22 And <1161> it came to pass <1096> (5633), that the beggar <4434> died <599> (5629), and <2532> was carried <667> (5683) by <5259> the angels <32> into <1519> Abraham's <11> bosom <2859>: the rich man <4145> also <1161> <2532> died <599> (5627), and <2532> was buried <2290> (5648);
23 And <2532> in <1722> hell <86> he lift up <1869> (5660) his <846> eyes <3788>, being <5225> (5723) in <1722> torments <931>, and seeth <3708> (5719) Abraham <11> afar <3113> off <575> , and <2532> Lazarus <2976> in <1722> his <846> bosom <2859>.
24 And <2532> <846> he cried <5455> (5660) and said <2036> (5627), Father <3962> Abraham <11>, have mercy <1653> (5657) on me <3165>, and <2532> send <3992> (5657) Lazarus <2976>, that <2443> he may dip <911> (5661) the tip <206> of his <846> finger <1147> in water <5204>, and <2532> cool <2711> (5661) my <3450> tongue <1100>; for <3754> I am tormented <3600> (5743) in <1722> this <5026> flame <5395>.
25 But <1161> Abraham <11> said <2036> (5627), Son <5043>, remember <3415> (5682) that <3754> thou <4771> in <1722> thy <4675> lifetime <2222> receivedst <618> (5627) thy <4675> good things <18>, and <2532> likewise <3668> Lazarus <2976> evil things <2556>: but <1161> now <3568> <3592> he is comforted <3870> (5743), and <1161> thou <4771> art tormented <3600> (5743).
26 And <2532> beside <1909> all <3956> this <5125>, between <3342> us <2257> and <2532> you <5216> there is <4741> <0> a great <3173> gulf <5490> fixed <4741> (5769): so that <3704> they which would <2309> (5723) pass <1224> (5629) from hence <1782> to <4314> you <5209> cannot <3361> <1410> (5741); neither <3366> can they pass <1276> (5725) to <4314> us <2248>, that would come from thence <1564>.
27 Then <1161> he said <2036> (5627), I pray <2065> (5719) thee <4571> therefore <3767> , father <3962>, that <2443> thou wouldest send <3992> (5661) him <846> to <1519> my <3450> father's <3962> house <3624>:
28 For <1063> I have <2192> (5719) five <4002> brethren <80>; that <3704> he may testify <1263> (5741) unto them <846>, lest <3363> they <846> also <2532> come <2064> (5632) into <1519> this <5126> place <5117> of torment <931>.
29 Abraham <11> saith <3004> (5719) unto him <846>, They have <2192> (5719) Moses <3475> and <2532> the prophets <4396>; let them hear <191> (5657) them <846>.
30 And <1161> he said <2036> (5627), Nay <3780>, father <3962> Abraham <11>: but <235> if <1437> one <5100> went <4198> (5680) unto <4314> them <846> from <575> the dead <3498>, they will repent <3340> (5692).
31 And <1161> he said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>, If <1487> they hear <191> (5719) not <3756> Moses <3475> and <2532> the prophets <4396>, neither <3761> will they be persuaded <3982> (5701), though <1437> one <5100> rose <450> (5632) from <1537> the dead <3498>.
