1 And * g1161 he said * g3004 g5707 also * g2532 unto * g4314 his * g846 disciples * g3101, There was * g2258 g5713 a certain * g5100 rich * g4145 man * g444, which * g3739 had * g2192 g5707 a steward * g3623; and * g2532 the same * g3778 was accused * g1225 g5681 unto him * g846 that * g5613 he had wasted * g1287 g5723 his * g846 goods * g5224 g5723.
2 And * g2532 he called * g5455 g5660 him * g846, and said * g2036 g5627 unto him * g846, How * g5101 is it that I hear * g191 g5719 this * g5124 of * g4012 thee * g4675? give * g591 g5628 an account * g3056 of thy * g4675 stewardship * g3622; for * g1063 thou mayest be * g1410 g5695 no * g3756 longer * g2089 steward * g3621 g5721.
3 Then * g1161 the steward * g3623 said * g2036 g5627 within * g1722 himself * g1438, What * g5101 shall I do * g4160 g5661? for * g3754 my * g3450 lord * g2962 taketh away * g851 g5731 from * g575 me * g1700 the stewardship * g3622: I cannot * g3756 * g2480 g5719 dig * g4626 g5721; to beg * g1871 g5721 I am ashamed * g153 g5727.
4 I am resolved * g1097 g5627 what * g5101 to do * g4160 g5692, that * g2443, when * g3752 I am put out * g3179 g5686 of the stewardship * g3622, they may receive * g1209 g5667 me * g3165 into * g1519 their * g846 houses * g3624.
5 So * g2532 he called * g4341 g5666 every * g1538 one * g1520 of his * g1438 lord's * g2962 debtors * g5533 unto him , and said * g3004 g5707 unto the first * g4413, How much * g4214 owest thou * g3784 g5719 unto my * g3450 lord * g2962?
6 And * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627, An hundred * g1540 measures * g943 of oil * g1637. And * g2532 he said * g2036 g5627 unto him * g846, Take * g1209 g5663 thy * g4675 bill * g1121, and * g2532 sit down * g2523 g5660 quickly * g5030, and write * g1125 g5657 fifty * g4004. measures: the word Batus in the original containeth nine gallons three quarts
7 Then * g1899 said he * g2036 g5627 to another * g2087, And * g1161 how much * g4214 owest * g3784 g5719 thou * g4771? And * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627, An hundred * g1540 measures * g2884 of wheat * g4621. And * g2532 he said * g3004 g5719 unto him * g846, Take * g1209 g5663 thy * g4675 bill * g1121, and * g2532 write * g1125 g5657 fourscore * g3589. measures: the word here interpreted a measure in the original containeth about fourteen bushels and two quarts
8 And * g2532 the lord * g2962 commended * g1867 g5656 the unjust * g93 steward * g3623, because * g3754 he had done * g4160 g5656 wisely * g5430: for * g3754 the children * g5207 of this * g5127 world * g165 are * g1526 g5748 in * g1519 their * g1438 generation * g1074 wiser * g5429 than * g5228 the children * g5207 of light * g5457.
9 And I * g2504 say * g3004 g5719 unto you * g5213, Make * g4160 g5657 to yourselves * g1438 friends * g5384 of * g1537 the mammon * g3126 of unrighteousness * g93; that * g2443, when * g3752 ye fail * g1587 g5632, they may receive * g1209 g5667 you * g5209 into * g1519 everlasting * g166 habitations * g4633. mammon: or, riches
10 He that is faithful * g4103 in * g1722 that which is least * g1646 is * g2076 g5748 faithful * g4103 also * g2532 in * g1722 much * g4183: and * g2532 he that is unjust * g94 in * g1722 the least * g1646 is * g2076 g5748 unjust * g94 also * g2532 in * g1722 much * g4183.
11 If * g1487 therefore * g3767 ye have * g1096 not * g3756 been * g1096 g5633 faithful * g4103 in * g1722 the unrighteous * g94 mammon * g3126, who * g5101 will commit * g4100 to your * g5213 trust * g4100 g5692 the true * g228 riches ? mammon: or, riches
12 And * g2532 if * g1487 ye have * g1096 not * g3756 been * g1096 g5633 faithful * g4103 in * g1722 that which is another man's * g245, who * g5101 shall give * g1325 g5692 you * g5213 that which is your own * g5212?
13 No * g3762 servant * g3610 can * g1410 g5736 serve * g1398 g5721 two * g1417 masters * g2962: for * g1063 either * g2228 he will hate * g3404 g5692 the one * g1520, and * g2532 love * g25 g5692 the other * g2087; or else * g2228 he will hold * g472 g5695 to the one * g1520, and * g2532 despise * g2706 g5692 the other * g2087. Ye cannot * g3756 * g1410 g5736 serve * g1398 g5721 God * g2316 and * g2532 mammon * g3126.
14 And * g1161 the Pharisees * g5330 also * g2532, who were * g5225 g5723 covetous * g5366, heard * g191 g5707 all * g3956 these things * g5023: and * g2532 they derided * g1592 g5707 him * g846.
15 And * g2532 he said * g2036 g5627 unto them * g846, Ye * g5210 are * g2075 g5748 they which justify * g1344 g5723 yourselves * g1438 before * g1799 men * g444; but * g1161 God * g2316 knoweth * g1097 g5719 your * g5216 hearts * g2588: for * g3754 that which is highly esteemed * g5308 among * g1722 men * g444 is * g2076 g5748 abomination * g946 in the sight * g1799 of God * g2316.
16 The law * g3551 and * g2532 the prophets * g4396 were until * g2193 John * g2491: since * g575 that time * g5119 the kingdom * g932 of God * g2316 is preached * g2097 g5743, and * g2532 every man * g3956 presseth * g971 g5731 into * g1519 it * g846.
17 And * g1161 it is * g2076 g5748 easier * g2123 for heaven * g3772 and * g2532 earth * g1093 to pass * g3928 g5629, than * g2228 one * g3391 tittle * g2762 of the law * g3551 to fail * g4098 g5629.
18 Whosoever * g3956 putteth away * g630 g5723 his * g846 wife * g1135, and * g2532 marrieth * g1060 g5723 another * g2087, committeth adultery * g3431 g5719: and * g2532 whosoever * g3956 marrieth * g1060 g5723 her that is put away * g630 g5772 from * g575 her husband * g435 committeth adultery * g3431 g5719.
19 * g1161 There was * g2258 g5713 a certain * g5100 rich * g4145 man * g444, which * g2532 was clothed * g1737 g5710 in purple * g4209 and * g2532 fine linen * g1040, and fared * g2165 g5746 sumptuously * g2988 every * g2596 day * g2250:
20 And * g1161 there was * g2258 g5713 a certain * g5100 beggar * g4434 named * g3686 Lazarus * g2976, which * g3739 was laid * g906 g5718 at * g4314 his * g846 gate * g4440, full of sores * g1669 g5772,
21 And * g2532 desiring * g1937 g5723 to be fed * g5526 g5683 with * g575 the crumbs * g5589 which * g3588 fell * g4098 g5723 from * g575 the rich man's * g4145 table * g5132: moreover * g235 * g2532 the dogs * g2965 came * g2064 g5740 and licked * g621 g5707 his * g846 sores * g1668.
22 And * g1161 it came to pass * g1096 g5633, that the beggar * g4434 died * g599 g5629, and * g2532 was carried * g667 g5683 by * g5259 the angels * g32 into * g1519 Abraham's * g11 bosom * g2859: the rich man * g4145 also * g1161 * g2532 died * g599 g5627, and * g2532 was buried * g2290 g5648;
23 And * g2532 in * g1722 hell * g86 he lift up * g1869 g5660 his * g846 eyes * g3788, being * g5225 g5723 in * g1722 torments * g931, and seeth * g3708 g5719 Abraham * g11 afar * g3113 off * g575, and * g2532 Lazarus * g2976 in * g1722 his * g846 bosom * g2859.
24 And * g2532 * g846 he cried * g5455 g5660 and said * g2036 g5627, Father * g3962 Abraham * g11, have mercy * g1653 g5657 on me * g3165, and * g2532 send * g3992 g5657 Lazarus * g2976, that * g2443 he may dip * g911 g5661 the tip * g206 of his * g846 finger * g1147 in water * g5204, and * g2532 cool * g2711 g5661 my * g3450 tongue * g1100; for * g3754 I am tormented * g3600 g5743 in * g1722 this * g5026 flame * g5395.
25 But * g1161 Abraham * g11 said * g2036 g5627, Son * g5043, remember * g3415 g5682 that * g3754 thou * g4771 in * g1722 thy * g4675 lifetime * g2222 receivedst * g618 g5627 thy * g4675 good things * g18, and * g2532 likewise * g3668 Lazarus * g2976 evil things * g2556: but * g1161 now * g3568 * g3592 he is comforted * g3870 g5743, and * g1161 thou * g4771 art tormented * g3600 g5743.
26 And * g2532 beside * g1909 all * g3956 this * g5125, between * g3342 us * g2257 and * g2532 you * g5216 there is * g4741 a great * g3173 gulf * g5490 fixed * g4741 g5769: so that * g3704 they which would * g2309 g5723 pass * g1224 g5629 from hence * g1782 to * g4314 you * g5209 cannot * g3361 * g1410 g5741; neither * g3366 can they pass * g1276 g5725 to * g4314 us * g2248, that would come from thence * g1564.
27 Then * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627, I pray * g2065 g5719 thee * g4571 therefore * g3767, father * g3962, that * g2443 thou wouldest send * g3992 g5661 him * g846 to * g1519 my * g3450 father's * g3962 house * g3624:
28 For * g1063 I have * g2192 g5719 five * g4002 brethren * g80; that * g3704 he may testify * g1263 g5741 unto them * g846, lest * g3363 they * g846 also * g2532 come * g2064 g5632 into * g1519 this * g5126 place * g5117 of torment * g931.
29 Abraham * g11 saith * g3004 g5719 unto him * g846, They have * g2192 g5719 Moses * g3475 and * g2532 the prophets * g4396; let them hear * g191 g5657 them * g846.
30 And * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627, Nay * g3780, father * g3962 Abraham * g11: but * g235 if * g1437 one * g5100 went * g4198 g5680 unto * g4314 them * g846 from * g575 the dead * g3498, they will repent * g3340 g5692.
31 And * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627 unto him * g846, If * g1487 they hear * g191 g5719 not * g3756 Moses * g3475 and * g2532 the prophets * g4396, neither * g3761 will they be persuaded * g3982 g5701, though * g1437 one * g5100 rose * g450 g5632 from * g1537 the dead * g3498.
