Lk Chapter 16 Verses 1-31

16:1
And
another
time
he
said
to
the
disciples,
There
was
a
certain
man
of
great
wealth
who
had
a
servant;
and
it
was
said
to
him
that
this
servant
was
wasting
his
goods.
16:2
And
he
sent
for
him
and
said,
What
is
this
which
is
said
about
you?
give
me
an
account
of
all
you
have
done,
for
you
will
no
longer
be
the
manager
of
my
property.
16:3
And
the
servant
said
to
himself,
What
am I
to
do
now
that
my
lord
takes away
my
position?
I
have not
enough
strength
for
working
in
the
fields,
and
I
would
be
shamed
if
I
made
requests
for
money
from
people
in
the
streets.
16:4
I
have
come to
a
decision
what
to
do,
so
that
when
I
am
put
out of
my
position
they
will
take me
into
their
houses.
16:5
And
sending
for
every
one
who
was
in
debt
to
his
lord
he
said
to
the
first,
What
is
the
amount
of
your
debt
to
my
lord?
16:6
And
he
said,
A hundred
measures
of
oil.
And
he
said,
Take
your
account
straight away
and
put
down
fifty.
16:7
Then
he
said
to
another,
What
is
the
amount
of
your
debt?
And
he
said,
A hundred
measures
of
grain.
And
he
said
to
him,
Take
your
account
and
put
down
eighty.
16:8
And
his
lord
was
pleased
with
the
false
servant,
because
he
had been
wise;
for
the
sons
of
this
world
are
wiser
in
relation
to
their
generation
than
the
sons
of
light.
16:9
And
I
say
to
you,
Make
friends
for
yourselves
through
the
wealth
of
this
life,
so
that
when
it
comes to
an
end,
you
may
be
taken
into
the
eternal
resting-places.
16:10
He
who
is
true
in
a
little,
is
true
in
much;
he
who
is
false
in
small
things,
is
false
in
great.
16:11
If,
then,
you
have not
been
true
in
your
use
of
the
wealth
of
this
life,
who
will
give
into
your
care
the
true
wealth?
16:12
And
if
you
have not
been
true
in
your
care
of
the
property
of
other
people,
who
will
give
you
that
which
is
yours?
16:13
No
man
may
be
a
servant
to
two
masters:
for
he
will
have
hate
for
the one
and
love
for
the
other;
or
he
will
keep
to
the one
and
have
no
respect
for
the
other.
You
may
not
be
servants
of
God
and
of
wealth.
16:14
And
the
Pharisees,
who
had
a
great
love
of
money,
hearing
these
things,
were
making
sport
of
him.
16:15
And
he
said,
You
take care
to
seem
right
in
the
eyes
of
men,
but
God
sees
your
hearts:
and
those
things
which
are
important
in
the
opinion
of
men,
are
evil
in
the
eyes
of
God.
16:16
The
law
and
the
prophets
were
till
John:
but
then
came
the
preaching
of
the
kingdom
of
God,
and
everyone
makes
his
way
into
it
by
force.
16:17
But
heaven
and
earth
will
come to
an
end
before
the
smallest
letter
of
the
law
may
be
dropped
out.
16:18
Everyone
who
puts away
his
wife
and
takes
another,
is
a
false
husband:
and
he
who
is
married
to
a
woman
whose
husband
has
put
her
away,
is
no
true
husband
to
her.
16:19
Now
there
was
a
certain
man
of
great
wealth,
who
was
dressed
in
fair
clothing
of
purple
and
delicate
linen,
and
was
shining
and
glad
every day.
16:20
And
a
certain
poor man,
named
Lazarus,
was
stretched
out
at
his
door,
full
of
wounds,
16:21
Desiring
the
broken
bits
of
food
which
came
from
the
table
of
the
man
of
wealth;
and
even
the
dogs
came
and
put
their
tongues
on
his
wounds.
16:22
And
in
time
the
poor man
came to
his
end,
and
angels
took
him
to
Abraham’s
breast.
And
the
man
of
wealth
came to
his
end,
and
was
put in
the
earth.
16:23
And
in
hell,
being
in
great
pain,
lifting
up
his
eyes
he
saw
Abraham,
far
away,
and
Lazarus
on
his
breast.
16:24
And
he
gave
a
cry
and
said,
Father
Abraham,
have
mercy
on
me
and
send
Lazarus,
so
that
he
may
put
the end
of
his
finger
in
water
and
put
it
on
my
tongue,
for
I
am
cruelly
burning
in
this
flame.
16:25
But
Abraham
said,
Keep
in
mind,
my
son,
that
when
you
were
living,
you
had
your
good things,
while
Lazarus
had
evil
things:
but
now,
he
is
comforted
and
you
are
in
pain.
16:26
And
in addition,
there
is
a
deep
division
fixed
between
us
and
you,
so
that
those
who
might
go
from
here
to
you
are not
able
to
do
so,
and
no
one
may
come
from
you
to
us.
16:27
And
he
said,
Father,
it
is
my
request
that
you
will
send
him
to
my
father’s
house;
16:28
For
I
have
five
brothers;
and
let
him
give
them
an
account
of
these
things,
so
that
they
may
not
come to
this
place
of
pain.
16:29
But
Abraham
said,
They
have
Moses
and
the
prophets;
let
them
give
ear
to
what
they
say.
16:30
And
he
said,
No,
father
Abraham,
but
if
someone
went to
them
from
the
dead,
their
hearts
would
be
changed.
16:31
And
he
said
to
him,
If
they
will not
give
attention
to
Moses
and
the
prophets,
they
will not
be
moved
even
if
someone
comes back
from
the
dead.
