1: He was saying_G2036 now_G1161 also_G2532 to_G4314 the_G3588 disciples,_G3101 A man_G0444 certain_G5100 there was_G1510 rich,_G4145 who_G3739 had_G2192 a manager,_G3623 and_G2532 he_G3778 was accused_G1225 unto him_G0846 as_G5613 is wasting_G1287 the_G3588 possessions_G5225 of him._G0846

2: And_G2532 having called_G5455 him,_G0846 he said_G2036 to him,_G0846 What [is]_G5101 this_G3778 I hear_G0191 concerning_G4012 you?_G4771 Give_G0591 the_G3588 account_G3056 of the_G3588 stewardship_G3622 of you;_G4771 not_G3756 for_G1063 you are able_G1410 any longer_G2089 to manage._G3621

3: Said_G2036 then_G1161 within_G1722 himself_G1438 the_G3588 manager,_G3623 What_G5101 shall I do,_G4160 for_G3754 the_G3588 master_G2962 of me_G1473 is taking away_G0851 the_G3588 management_G3622 from_G0575 me?_G1473 To dig_G4626 not_G3756 I am able;_G2480 to beg_G1871 I am ashamed._G0153

4: I know_G1097 what_G5101 I will do_G4160 so that_G2443 when_G3752 I shall have been removed_G3179 from_G1537 the_G3588 management,_G3622 they might receive_G1209 me_G1473 into_G1519 the_G3588 homes_G3624 of them._G1438

5: And_G2532 having called to [him]_G4341 one_G1520 each_G1538 of the_G3588 debtors_G5533 of the_G3588 master_G2962 of him,_G1438 he was saying_G2036 to the_G3588 first,_G4413 How much_G4214 owe you_G3784 to_G3588 master_G2962 of me?_G1473

6: -_G3588 And_G1161 he said,_G2036 A hundred_G1540 baths_G0943 of oil._G1637 -_G3588 And_G1161 he said_G2036 to him,_G0846 Take_G1209 your_G4771 the_G3588 bill_G1121 and,_G2532 having sat down_G2523 quickly,_G5030 write_G1125 fifty._G4004

7: Then_G1899 to another_G2087 he said,_G2036 You_G4771 now_G1161 how much_G4214 owe?_G3784 -_G3588 And_G1161 he said,_G2036 A hundred_G1540 cors_G2884 of wheat._G4621 He says_G3004 to him,_G0846 Take_G1209 your_G4771 -_G3588 bill_G1121 and_G2532 write_G1125 eighty._G3589

8: And_G2532 praised_G1867 the_G3588 master_G2962 the_G3588 manager_G3623 -_G3588 unrighteous,_G0093 because_G3754 shrewdly_G5430 he had acted._G4160 For_G3754 the_G3588 sons_G5207 of the_G3588 age_G0165 this_G3778 more shrewd_G5429 than_G5228 the_G3588 sons_G5207 of the_G3588 light_G5457 in_G1519 the_G3588 generation_G1074 -_G3588 of themselves_G1438 are._G1510

9: And_G2532 I_G1473 to you_G4771 say,_G3004 for yourselves_G1438 make_G4160 friends_G5384 by_G1537 the_G3588 wealth_G3126 -_G3588 of unrighteousness,_G0093 that_G2443 when_G3752 it fails_G1587 they might receive_G1209 you_G4771 into_G1519 the_G3588 eternal_G0166 dwellings._G4633

10: The [one]_G3588 faithful_G4103 with_G1722 very little,_G1646 also_G2532 with_G1722 much_G4183 faithful_G4103 is;_G1510 and_G2532 the [one]_G3588 with_G1722 very little_G1646 unrighteous,_G0094 also_G2532 with_G1722 much_G4183 unrighteous_G0094 is._G1510

11: If_G1487 therefore_G3767 in_G1722 the_G3588 unrighteous_G0094 wealth,_G3126 faithful_G4103 not_G3756 you have been,_G1096 the_G3588 true [riches]_G0228 who_G5101 to you_G4771 will entrust?_G4100

12: And_G2532 if_G1487 in_G1722 that which [is]_G3588 of another,_G0245 faithful_G4103 not_G3756 you have been,_G1096 that which_G3588 [is] yours_G5212 who_G5101 will give_G1325 to you?_G4771

13: No_G3762 servant_G3610 is able_G1410 two_G1417 masters_G2962 to serve;_G1398 either_G2228 for_G1063 the_G3588 one_G1520 he will hate,_G3404 and_G2532 the_G3588 other_G2087 he will love;_G0025 or_G2228 one_G1520 he will be devoted to,_G0472 and_G2532 the_G3588 other_G2087 he will despise._G2706 Not_G3756 you are able_G1410 God_G2316 to serve_G1398 and_G2532 money._G3126

14: Were listening to_G0191 now_G1161 these things_G3778 all_G3956 the_G3588 Pharisees,_G5330 lovers of money_G5366 being,_G5225 and_G2532 they were ridiculing_G1592 Him._G0846

15: And_G2532 He said_G2036 to them,_G0846 You_G4771 are_G1510 those_G3588 justifying_G1344 themselves_G1438 before_G1799 -_G3588 men,_G0444 -_G3588 but_G1161 God_G2316 knows_G1097 the_G3588 hearts_G2588 of you;_G4771 for_G3754 that which_G3588 among_G1722 men_G0444 [is] exalted_G5308 [is] an abomination_G0946 before_G1799 -_G3588 God._G2316

16: The_G3588 law_G3551 and_G2532 the_G3588 prophets [were]_G4396 until_G3360 John;_G2491 from_G0575 that time_G5119 the_G3588 kingdom_G0932 -_G3588 of God_G2316 is proclaimed,_G2097 and_G2532 everyone_G3956 into_G1519 it_G0846 forces his way._G0971

17: Easier for_G2123 however_G1161 it is_G1510 the_G3588 heaven_G3772 and_G2532 the_G3588 earth_G1093 to pass away,_G3928 than_G2228 of the_G3588 law_G3551 one_G1520 stroke of a pen_G2762 to fail._G4098

18: Everyone_G3956 -_G3588 putting away_G0630 the_G3588 wife_G1135 of him_G0846 and_G2532 marrying_G1060 another_G2087 commits adultery._G3431 And_G2532 the [one]_G3588 her put away_G0630 from_G0575 a husband_G0435 marrying_G1060 commits adultery._G3431

19: A man_G0444 now_G1161 certain_G5100 there was_G1510 rich,_G4145 and_G2532 he was clothed in_G1737 purple_G4209 and_G2532 fine linen,_G1040 making good cheer_G2165 every_G2596 day_G2250 in splendor._G2988

20: A poor man_G4434 now_G1161 certain_G5100 named_G3686 Lazarus_G2976 was laid_G0906 at_G4314 the_G3588 gate_G4440 of him,_G0846 being full of sores_G1669

21: and_G2532 desiring_G1937 to be fed_G5526 from_G0575 that_G3588 falling_G4098 from_G0575 the_G3588 table_G5132 of the_G3588 rich man;_G4145 but_G0235 even_G2532 the_G3588 dogs,_G2965 coming,_G2064 were licking_G0621 the_G3588 sores_G1668 of him._G0846

22: It came to pass that_G1096 then_G1161 died_G0599 the_G3588 poor man,_G4434 and_G2532 was carried away_G0667 he_G0846 by_G5259 the_G3588 angels_G0032 into_G1519 the_G3588 bosom_G2859 of Abraham._G0011 Died_G0599 then_G1161 also_G2532 the_G3588 rich man_G4145 and_G2532 was buried._G2290

23: And_G2532 in_G1722 -_G3588 Hades,_G0086 having lifted up_G1869 the_G3588 eyes_G3788 of him,_G0846 being_G5225 in_G1722 torment,_G0931 he sees_G3708 Abraham_G0011 from_G0575 afar,_G3113 and_G2532 Lazarus_G2976 in_G1722 the_G3588 bosom_G2859 of him._G0846

24: And_G2532 he_G0846 having cried out_G5455 said,_G2036 Father_G3962 Abraham,_G0011 have mercy on_G1653 me_G1473 and_G2532 send_G3992 Lazarus,_G2976 that_G2443 he might dip_G0911 the_G3588 tip_G0206 of the_G3588 finger_G1147 of him_G0846 in water_G5204 and_G2532 cool_G2711 the_G3588 tongue_G1100 of me;_G1473 for_G3754 I am suffering_G3600 in_G1722 the_G3588 flame_G5395 this._G3778

25: Said_G2036 then_G1161 Abraham,_G0011 Child,_G5043 remember_G3403 that_G3754 you did fully receive_G0618 the [things]_G3588 good_G0018 of you_G4771 in_G1722 the_G3588 lifetime_G2222 of you,_G4771 and_G2532 Lazarus_G2976 likewise_G3668 the [things]_G3588 evil._G2556 Now_G3568 however_G1161 here_G5602 he is comforted;_G3870 you_G4771 now_G1161 are suffering._G3600

26: And_G2532 besides_G1722 all_G3956 these things,_G3778 between_G3342 us_G1473 and_G2532 you_G4771 a chasm_G5490 great_G3173 has been fixed,_G4741 so that_G3704 those_G3588 desiring_G2309 to pass_G1224 from here_G1759 to_G4314 you_G4771 not_G3361 are able,_G1410 nor_G3366 from there_G1564 to_G4314 us_G1473 can they pass._G1276

27: He said_G2036 then,_G1161 I implore_G2065 you_G4771 then,_G3767 father,_G3962 that_G2443 you would send_G3992 him_G0846 to_G1519 the_G3588 house_G3624 of the_G3588 father_G3962 of me—_G1473

28: I have_G2192 for_G1063 five_G4002 brothers—_G0080 so that_G3704 he might warn_G1263 them,_G0846 that_G2443 not_G3361 also_G2532 they_G0846 might come_G2064 to_G1519 the_G3588 place_G5117 this_G3778 -_G3588 of torment._G0931

29: Says_G3004 however_G1161 Abraham,_G0011 They have_G2192 Moses_G3475 and_G2532 the_G3588 prophets;_G4396 let them hear_G0191 them._G0846

30: -_G3588 And_G1161 he said,_G2036 No,_G3780 father_G3962 Abraham,_G0011 but_G0235 if_G1437 one_G5100 from_G0575 [the] dead_G3498 should go_G4198 to_G4314 them,_G0846 they will repent._G3340

31: He said_G2036 however_G1161 to him,_G0846 If_G1487 Moses_G3475 and_G2532 the_G3588 prophets_G4396 not_G3756 they hear,_G0191 not even_G3761 if_G1437 one_G5100 out from_G1537 [the] dead_G3498 should rise,_G0450 will they be persuaded._G3982
