16:1

And1161 he said3004 also2532 unto4314 his846 disciples3101, There was2258 a certain5100 rich4145 man444, which3739 had2192 a steward3623; and2532 the same3778 was accused1225 unto him846 that5613 he had wasted1287 his846 goods5224.

16:2

And2532 he called5455 him846, and said2036 unto him846, How5101 is it that I hear191 this5124 of4012 thee4675? give591 an account3056 of thy4675 stewardship3622; for1063 thou mayest be1410 no3756 longer2089 steward3621.

16:3

Then1161 the steward3623 said2036 within1722 himself1438, What5101 shall I do4160? for3754 my3450 master2962 taketh away851 from575 me1700 the stewardship3622: I cannot3756 dig4626; to beg1871 I am ashamed153.

16:4

I am resolved1097 what5101 to do4160, that2443, when3752 I am put out3179 of the stewardship3622, they may receive1209 me3165 into1519 their846 houses3624.

16:5

So2532 he called4341 every1538 one1520 of his1438 master's2962 debtors5533 unto him, and said3004 unto the first4413, How much4214 owest thou3784 unto my3450 master2962?

16:6

And1161 he said2036, An hundred1540 measures943 of oil1637. And2532 he said2036 unto him846, Take1209 thy4675 bill1121, and2532 sit down2523 quickly5030, and write1125 fifty4004.

16:7

Then1899 said he2036 to another2087, And1161 how much4214 owest3784 thou4771? And1161 he said2036, An hundred1540 measures2884 of wheat4621. And2532 he said3004 unto him846, Take1209 thy4675 bill1121, and2532 write1125 fourscore3589.

16:8

And2532 the master2962 commended1867 the unjust93 steward3623, because3754 he had done4160 wisely5430: for3754 the children5207 of this5127 world165 are1526 in1519 their1438 generation1074 wiser5429 than5228 the children5207 of light5457.

16:9

And I2504 say3004 unto you5213, Make4160 to yourselves1438 friends5384 of1537 the mammon3126 of unrighteousness93; that2443, when3752 ye fail1587, they may receive1209 you5209 into1519 everlasting166 habitations4633.

16:10

He that is faithful4103 in1722 that which is least1646 is2076 faithful4103 also2532 in1722 much4183: and2532 he that is unjust94 in1722 the least1646 is2076 unjust94 also2532 in1722 much4183.

16:11

If1487 therefore3767 ye have1096 not3756 been1096 faithful4103 in1722 the unrighteous94 mammon3126, who5101 will commit4100 to your5213 trust4100 the true228 riches?

16:12

And2532 if1487 ye have1096 not3756 been1096 faithful4103 in1722 that which is another man's245, who5101 shall give1325 you5213 that which is your own5212?

16:13

No3762 servant3610 can1410 serve1398 two1417 masters2962: for1063 either2228 he will hate3404 the one1520, and2532 love25 the other2087; or else2228 he will hold472 to the one1520, and2532 despise2706 the other2087. Ye cannot3756 serve1398 Yahweh2316 and2532 mammon3126.

16:14

And1161 the Pharisees5330 also2532, who were5225 covetous5366, heard191 all3956 these things5023: and2532 they derided1592 him846.

16:15

And2532 he said2036 unto them846, Ye5210 are2075 they which justify1344 yourselves1438 before1799 men444; but1161 Elohim2316 knoweth1097 your5216 hearts2588: for3754 that which is highly esteemed5308 among1722 men444 is2076 abomination946 in the sight1799 of Elohim2316.

16:16

The law3551 and2532 the prophets4396 were until2193 John2491: since575 that time5119 the kingdom932 of Yahweh2316 is preached2097, and2532 every man3956 presseth971 into1519 it846.

16:17

And1161 it is2076 easier2123 for heaven3772 and2532 earth1093 to pass3928, than2228 one3391 tittle2762 of the law3551 to fail4098.

16:18

Whosoever3956 putteth away630 his846 wife1135, and2532 marrieth1060 another2087, committeth adultery3431: and2532 whosoever3956 marrieth1060 her that is put away630 from575 her husband435 committeth adultery3431.

16:19

There was2258 a certain5100 rich4145 man444, which2532 was clothed1737 in purple4209 and2532 fine linen1040, and fared2165 sumptuously2988 every2596 day2250:

16:20

And1161 there was2258 a certain5100 beggar4434 named3686 Lazarus2976, which3739 was laid906 at4314 his846 gate4440, full of sores1669,

16:21

And2532 desiring1937 to be fed5526 with575 the crumbs5589 which3588 fell4098 from575 the rich man's4145 table5132: moreover235 the dogs2965 came2064 and licked621 his846 sores1668.

16:22

And1161 it came to pass1096, that the beggar4434 died599, and2532 was carried667 by5259 the angels32 into1519 Abraham's11 bosom2859: the rich man4145 also1161 died599, and2532 was buried2290;

16:23

And2532 in1722 the grave86 he lift up1869 his846 eyes3788, being5225 in1722 torments931, and seeth3708 Abraham11 afar3113 off575, and2532 Lazarus2976 in1722 his846 bosom2859.

16:24

And2532 he cried5455 and said2036, Father3962 Abraham11, have mercy1653 on me3165, and2532 send3992 Lazarus2976, that2443 he may dip911 the tip206 of his846 finger1147 in water5204, and2532 cool2711 my3450 tongue1100; for3754 I am tormented3600 in1722 this5026 flame5395.

16:25

But1161 Abraham11 said2036, Son5043, remember3415 that3754 thou4771 in1722 thy4675 lifetime2222 receivedst618 thy4675 good things18, and2532 likewise3668 Lazarus2976 evil things2556: but1161 now3568 he is comforted3870, and1161 thou4771 art tormented3600.

16:26

And2532 beside1909 all3956 this5125, between3342 us2257 and2532 you5216 there is4741 a great3173 gulf5490 fixed4741: so that3704 they which would2309 pass1224 from hence1782 to4314 you5209 cannot3361; neither3366 can they pass1276 to4314 us2248, that would come from thence1564.

16:27

Then1161 he said2036, I pray2065 thee4571 therefore3767, father3962, that2443 thou wouldest send3992 him846 to1519 my3450 father's3962 house3624:

16:28

For1063 I have2192 five4002 brethren80; that3704 he may testify1263 unto them846, lest3363 they846 also2532 come2064 into1519 this5126 place5117 of torment931.

16:29

Abraham11 saith3004 unto him846, They have2192 Moses3475 and2532 the prophets4396; let them hear191 them846.

16:30

And1161 he said2036, Nay3780, father3962 Abraham11: but235 if1437 one5100 went4198 unto4314 them846 from575 the dead3498, they will repent3340.

16:31

And1161 he said2036 unto him846, If1487 they hear191 not3756 Moses3475 and2532 the prophets4396, neither3761 will they be persuaded3982, though1437 one5100 rose450 from1537 the dead3498.
