Berean Standard Bible
And
he
said
also unto
his disciples, There was a certain
rich man ,
which
had
a
steward;
and
the
same
was accused unto
him
that
he
had
wasted
his goods
.
Jesus
also said
to
His disciples, “
There was a rich man whose
manager
was accused of
wasting
his possessions
.
And
he called him ,
and
said
unto
him
, How
is it
that
I hear this
of
thee
? give
an account of thy
stewardship;
for thou
mayest
be no
longer steward
.
So
he called him in
to
ask
, ‘What
is this
I hear about
you
? Turn
in
an account of your
management,
for you
cannot
be manager
any
longer. ’
Then
the steward
said within
himself, What shall I do ?
for
my lord
taketh
away from
me
the
stewardship:
I cannot
dig ;
to beg I
am
ashamed
.
The manager
said to
himself, ‘
What shall I do ,
now
that
my master
is
taking
away my
position?
I am
too
weak
to
dig and
too
ashamed
to beg.
I am
resolved
what to
do, that ,
when
I
am
put
out
of
the
stewardship
, they
may
receive
me into their houses
.
I know
what I
will
do, so
that after
my
removal
from
management
, people
will
welcome
me into their homes
. ’
So
he called every
one of his lord's
debtors unto
him,
and
said
unto
the
first,
How much owest
thou
unto
my lord
?
And
he called in
each
one of his master’s
debtors .
‘
How much do
you
owe
my master
? ’
he
asked
the
first.
And
he
said,
An
hundred measures of oil .
And
he
said
unto
him
, Take thy
bill, and
sit down quickly, and write fifty.
‘A
hundred measures of olive
oil, ’
he
answered.
‘
Take your
bill, ’
said
the
manager.
‘
Sit down quickly, and write fifty. ’
Then said
he to
another, And how much owest
thou
? And
he
said,
An
hundred measures of wheat .
And
he
said
unto
him
, Take thy
bill ,
and write fourscore
.
Then he asked
another, ‘
And how much do
you
owe
? ’
‘A
hundred measures of wheat, ’
he
replied.
‘
Take your
bill and write eighty,’
he
told
him
.
And
the lord
commended the unjust
steward,
because he had done
wisely:
for the children
of this world
are in their generation
wiser
than the children
of light.
The master
commended the dishonest
manager
because he had acted
shrewdly.
For the sons
of this age
are more
shrewd
in dealing
with
their own
kind
than are
the sons
of light.
And
I say
unto
you, Make
to yourselves
friends of
the
mammon
of
unrighteousness;
that
, when ye
fail
, they may
receive
you into everlasting
habitations
.
I tell
you, use
worldly
wealth
to make
friends for
yourselves
, so
that
when it
is
gone
, they will
welcome
you into eternal
dwellings
.
He
that
is
faithful
in
that
which
is
least
is faithful also in
much :
and he
that
is
unjust
in
the
least
is unjust
also in
much.
Whoever
is faithful with
very
little
will
also be
faithful
with
much ,
and whoever
is dishonest
with
very
little
will
also be
dishonest
with
much.
If therefore
ye
have not been faithful in
the
unrighteous
mammon
, who will commit
to
your
trust
the
true riches?
So
if you
have not been faithful with
worldly
wealth
, who will entrust
you
with
true riches?
And if ye
have not been faithful in
that
which
is
another man's
, who shall
give you that
which
is
your own?
And if you
have not been faithful with
the
belongings
of
another, who will
give you belongings
of
your own?
No servant can serve two masters :
for
either he will hate the one ,
and love the other ;
or else
he will hold
to the one ,
and despise the other. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon
.
No servant can serve two masters .
Either he will hate the one and love the other ,
or he will be
devoted
to the one and despise the other. You
cannot serve both
God and money
. ”
And
the Pharisees also
, who were covetous
, heard all these
things:
and they
derided
him
.
The Pharisees, who were lovers
of
money
, heard all of
this
and were
scoffing
at
Jesus
.
And
he said unto
them, Ye
are they
which
justify yourselves before men ;
but God knoweth
your hearts :
for that
which
is highly
esteemed
among men is abomination
in
the
sight
of
God.
So
He said to
them, “You
are the
ones
who
justify yourselves before men ,
but God knows
your hearts .
For what
is prized
among men is detestable
before
God.
The law and the prophets were until John :
since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every
man
presseth
into it.
The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed
until John .
Since that time ,
the gospel
of
the
kingdom of God is being
preached, and everyone
is
forcing
his
way
into it.
And
it is easier for heaven and earth to pass ,
than one
tittle
of the law to
fail
.
But
it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away
than for
a
single
stroke
of a
pen
to
drop
out
of
the Law.
Whosoever
putteth
away
his wife ,
and marrieth
another ,
committeth
adultery :
and whosoever
marrieth
her
that
is
put
away
from
her
husband
committeth
adultery.
Anyone
who
divorces
his wife and marries
another woman
commits
adultery ,
and he
who
marries
a
divorced
woman
commits
adultery.
There was a certain
rich man ,
which
was
clothed
in purple and fine linen, and
fared
sumptuously
every
day :
Now
there was a rich man dressed
in purple and fine linen, who
lived
each
day in
joyous
splendor.
And there
was
a certain
beggar named Lazarus ,
which
was
laid
at his gate, full
of
sores ,
And a beggar named Lazarus lay
at his gate, covered
with
sores
And desiring
to be fed with the crumbs which
fell from the rich man's
table :
moreover
the dogs came and licked his sores.
and longing
to be fed with the crumbs that
fell from the rich man’s
table .
Even
the dogs came and licked his sores.
And
it
came
to
pass,
that
the beggar died ,
and was carried by the angels into
Abraham's
bosom:
the rich man also died ,
and was buried ;
One
day
the beggar died and was carried by the angels to
Abraham’s
side.
And

And
in hell
he
lift
up
his
eyes
, being
in torments
, and seeth
Abraham afar off
, and
Lazarus in
his bosom
.
In Hades
, where
he
was
in torment
, he
looked
up
and saw
Abraham from
afar, with
Lazarus by
his side
.
And
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 tormented
in this flame
.
So
he cried out
, ‘
Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to
dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue .
For I am in agony
in
this fire
. ’
But Abraham said
, Son
, remember that thou
in
thy
lifetime receivedst
thy
good things, and
likewise
Lazarus evil
things :
but now he is comforted, and
thou
art
tormented
.
But Abraham answered
, ‘Child
, remember that during
your
lifetime you
received
your
good things, while
Lazarus received
bad
things .
But now he is comforted here
, while
you
are
in
agony
.
And beside
all this, between us and you there
is
a
great
gulf
fixed:
so that they
which
would
pass
from hence
to you cannot;
neither
can they
pass
to us ,
that
would
come
from
thence
.
And besides
all this, a
great
chasm
has
been
fixed
between us and you ,
so that even
those
who
wish
cannot
cross
from here
to you ,
nor
can anyone
cross
from
there
to us. ’
Then he
said,
I pray
thee
therefore
, father, that
thou
wouldest
send him
to my father's
house :
‘
Then I beg
you
, father, ’
he
said,
‘
send Lazarus
to my father’s
house ,
For I have five brethren;
that
he
may
testify
unto
them, lest
they also come
into
this place of torment.
for I have five brothers.
Let
him
warn
them, so
that
they will
not
also end
up
in
this place of torment. ’
Abraham saith
unto
him
, They have Moses and the prophets; let them
hear
them.
But
Abraham replied
, ‘
They have Moses and the prophets; let your
brothers
listen
to
them. ’
And
he
said,
Nay
, father Abraham :
but if one
went
unto
them from the dead, they will repent.
‘No
, father Abraham ,’
he
said,
‘
but if someone
is
sent
to
them from the dead, they will repent. ’
And
he
said unto
him, If they hear
not Moses and the prophets, neither
will
they be persuaded ,
though
one
rose
from the dead.
Then
Abraham
said to
him, ‘
If they do
not listen
to
Moses and the prophets, they will
not
be persuaded even
if
someone
rises
from the dead. ’”
