And ¹¹⁶¹ he said ^{3004 , 5707} also ²⁵³² unto ⁴³¹⁴ his ⁸⁴⁶ disciples ³¹⁰¹ , There was ^{2258 , 5713} a certain ⁵¹⁰⁰ rich ⁴¹⁴⁵ man ⁴⁴⁴ , which ³⁷³⁹ had ^{2192 , 5707} a steward ³⁶²³ ; and ²⁵³² the same ³⁷⁷⁸ was accused ^{1225 , 5681} unto him ⁸⁴⁶ that ⁵⁶¹³ he had wasted ^{1287 , 5723} his ⁸⁴⁶ goods ^{5224 , 5723} .

And ²⁵³² he called ^{5455 , 5660} him ⁸⁴⁶ , and said ^{2036 , 5627} unto him ⁸⁴⁶ , How ⁵¹⁰¹ is it that I hear ^{191 , 5719} this ⁵¹²⁴ of ⁴⁰¹² thee ⁴⁶⁷⁵ ? give ^{591 , 5628} an account ³⁰⁵⁶ of thy ⁴⁶⁷⁵ stewardship ³⁶²² ; for ¹⁰⁶³ thou mayest be ^{1410 , 5695} no ³⁷⁵⁶ longer ²⁰⁸⁹ steward ^{3621 , 5721} .

Then ¹¹⁶¹ the steward ³⁶²³ said ^{2036 , 5627} within ¹⁷²² himself ¹⁴³⁸ , What ⁵¹⁰¹ shall I do ^{4160 , 5661} ? for ³⁷⁵⁴ my ³⁴⁵⁰ lord ²⁹⁶² taketh away ^{851 , 5731} from ⁵⁷⁵ me ¹⁷⁰⁰ the stewardship ³⁶²² : I cannot ^{3756 , 2480 , 5719} dig ^{4626 , 5721} ; to beg ^{1871 , 5721} I am ashamed ^{153 , 5727} .

I am resolved ^{1097 , 5627} what ⁵¹⁰¹ to do ^{4160 , 5692} , that ²⁴⁴³ , when ³⁷⁵² I am put out ^{3179 , 5686} of the stewardship ³⁶²² , they may receive ^{1209 , 5667} me ³¹⁶⁵ into ¹⁵¹⁹ their ⁸⁴⁶ houses ³⁶²⁴ .

So ²⁵³² he called ^{4341 , 5666} every ¹⁵³⁸ one ¹⁵²⁰ of his ¹⁴³⁸ lord's ²⁹⁶² debtors ⁵⁵³³ unto him , and said ^{3004 , 5707} unto the first ⁴⁴¹³ , How much ⁴²¹⁴ owest thou ^{3784 , 5719} unto my ³⁴⁵⁰ lord ²⁹⁶² ?

And ¹¹⁶¹ he said ^{2036 , 5627} , An hundred ¹⁵⁴⁰ measures ⁹⁴³ of oil ¹⁶³⁷ . And ²⁵³² he said ^{2036 , 5627} unto him ⁸⁴⁶ , Take ^{1209 , 5663} thy ⁴⁶⁷⁵ bill ¹¹²¹ , and ²⁵³² sit down ^{2523 , 5660} quickly ⁵⁰³⁰ , and write ^{1125 , 5657} fifty ⁴⁰⁰⁴ . [measures: the word Batus in the original containeth nine gallons three quarts]

Then ¹⁸⁹⁹ said he ^{2036 , 5627} to another ²⁰⁸⁷ , And ¹¹⁶¹ how much ⁴²¹⁴ owest ^{3784 , 5719} thou ⁴⁷⁷¹ ? And ¹¹⁶¹ he said ^{2036 , 5627} , An hundred ¹⁵⁴⁰ measures ²⁸⁸⁴ of wheat ⁴⁶²¹ . And ²⁵³² he said ^{3004 , 5719} unto him ⁸⁴⁶ , Take ^{1209 , 5663} thy ⁴⁶⁷⁵ bill ¹¹²¹ , and ²⁵³² write ^{1125 , 5657} fourscore ³⁵⁸⁹ . [measures: the word here interpreted a measure in the original containeth about fourteen bushels and two quarts]

And ²⁵³² the lord ²⁹⁶² commended ^{1867 , 5656} the unjust ⁹³ steward ³⁶²³ , because ³⁷⁵⁴ he had done ^{4160 , 5656} wisely ⁵⁴³⁰ : for ³⁷⁵⁴ the children ⁵²⁰⁷ of this ⁵¹²⁷ world ¹⁶⁵ are ^{1526 , 5748} in ¹⁵¹⁹ their ¹⁴³⁸ generation ¹⁰⁷⁴ wiser ⁵⁴²⁹ than ⁵²²⁸ the children ⁵²⁰⁷ of light ⁵⁴⁵⁷ .

And I ²⁵⁰⁴ say ^{3004 , 5719} unto you ⁵²¹³ , Make ^{4160 , 5657} to yourselves ¹⁴³⁸ friends ⁵³⁸⁴ of ¹⁵³⁷ the mammon ³¹²⁶ of unrighteousness ⁹³ ; that ²⁴⁴³ , when ³⁷⁵² ye fail ^{1587 , 5632} , they may receive ^{1209 , 5667} you ⁵²⁰⁹ into ¹⁵¹⁹ everlasting ¹⁶⁶ habitations ⁴⁶³³ . [mammon: or, riches]

He that is faithful ⁴¹⁰³ in ¹⁷²² that which is least ¹⁶⁴⁶ is ^{2076 , 5748} faithful ⁴¹⁰³ also ²⁵³² in ¹⁷²² much ⁴¹⁸³ : and ²⁵³² he that is unjust ⁹⁴ in ¹⁷²² the least ¹⁶⁴⁶ is ^{2076 , 5748} unjust ⁹⁴ also ²⁵³² in ¹⁷²² much ⁴¹⁸³ .

If ¹⁴⁸⁷ therefore ³⁷⁶⁷ ye have ^{1096 , 0} not ³⁷⁵⁶ been ^{1096 , 5633} faithful ⁴¹⁰³ in ¹⁷²² the unrighteous ⁹⁴ mammon ³¹²⁶ , who ⁵¹⁰¹ will commit ^{4100 , 0} to your ⁵²¹³ trust ^{4100 , 5692} the true ²²⁸ riches ? [mammon: or, riches]

And ²⁵³² if ¹⁴⁸⁷ ye have ^{1096 , 0} not ³⁷⁵⁶ been ^{1096 , 5633} faithful ⁴¹⁰³ in ¹⁷²² that which is another man's ²⁴⁵ , who ⁵¹⁰¹ shall give ^{1325 , 5692} you ⁵²¹³ that which is your own ⁵²¹² ?

No ³⁷⁶² servant ³⁶¹⁰ can ^{1410 , 5736} serve ^{1398 , 5721} two ¹⁴¹⁷ masters ²⁹⁶² : for ¹⁰⁶³ either ²²²⁸ he will hate ^{3404 , 5692} the one ¹⁵²⁰ , and ²⁵³² love ^{25 , 5692} the other ²⁰⁸⁷ ; or else ²²²⁸ he will hold ^{472 , 5695} to the one ¹⁵²⁰ , and ²⁵³² despise ^{2706 , 5692} the other ²⁰⁸⁷ . Ye cannot ^{3756 , 1410 , 5736} serve ^{1398 , 5721} God ²³¹⁶ and ²⁵³² mammon ³¹²⁶ .

And ¹¹⁶¹ the Pharisees ⁵³³⁰ also ²⁵³² , who were ^{5225 , 5723} covetous ⁵³⁶⁶ , heard ^{191 , 5707} all ³⁹⁵⁶ these things ⁵⁰²³ : and ²⁵³² they derided ^{1592 , 5707} him ⁸⁴⁶ .

And ²⁵³² he said ^{2036 , 5627} unto them ⁸⁴⁶ , Ye ⁵²¹⁰ are ^{2075 , 5748} they which justify ^{1344 , 5723} yourselves ¹⁴³⁸ before ¹⁷⁹⁹ men ⁴⁴⁴ ; but ¹¹⁶¹ God ²³¹⁶ knoweth ^{1097 , 5719} your ⁵²¹⁶ hearts ²⁵⁸⁸ : for ³⁷⁵⁴ that which is highly esteemed ⁵³⁰⁸ among ¹⁷²² men ⁴⁴⁴ is ^{2076 , 5748} abomination ⁹⁴⁶ in the sight ¹⁷⁹⁹ of God ²³¹⁶ .

The law ³⁵⁵¹ and ²⁵³² the prophets ⁴³⁹⁶ were until ²¹⁹³ John ²⁴⁹¹ : since ⁵⁷⁵ that time ⁵¹¹⁹ the kingdom ⁹³² of God ²³¹⁶ is preached ^{2097 , 5743} , and ²⁵³² every man ³⁹⁵⁶ presseth ^{971 , 5731} into ¹⁵¹⁹ it ⁸⁴⁶ .

And ¹¹⁶¹ it is ^{2076 , 5748} easier ²¹²³ for heaven ³⁷⁷² and ²⁵³² earth ¹⁰⁹³ to pass ^{3928 , 5629} , than ²²²⁸ one ³³⁹¹ tittle ²⁷⁶² of the law ³⁵⁵¹ to fail ^{4098 , 5629} .

Whosoever ³⁹⁵⁶ putteth away ^{630 , 5723} his ⁸⁴⁶ wife ¹¹³⁵ , and ²⁵³² marrieth ^{1060 , 5723} another ²⁰⁸⁷ , committeth adultery ^{3431 , 5719} : and ²⁵³² whosoever ³⁹⁵⁶ marrieth ^{1060 , 5723} her that is put away ^{630 , 5772} from ⁵⁷⁵ her husband ⁴³⁵ committeth adultery ^{3431 , 5719} .

# ¹¹⁶¹ There was ^{2258 , 5713} a certain ⁵¹⁰⁰ rich ⁴¹⁴⁵ man ⁴⁴⁴ , which ²⁵³² was clothed ^{1737 , 5710} in purple ⁴²⁰⁹ and ²⁵³² fine linen ¹⁰⁴⁰ , and fared ^{2165 , 5746} sumptuously ²⁹⁸⁸ every ²⁵⁹⁶ day ²²⁵⁰ :

And ¹¹⁶¹ there was ^{2258 , 5713} a certain ⁵¹⁰⁰ beggar ⁴⁴³⁴ named ³⁶⁸⁶ Lazarus ²⁹⁷⁶ , which ³⁷³⁹ was laid ^{906 , 5718} at ⁴³¹⁴ his ⁸⁴⁶ gate ⁴⁴⁴⁰ , full of sores ^{1669 , 5772} ,

And ²⁵³² desiring ^{1937 , 5723} to be fed ^{5526 , 5683} with ⁵⁷⁵ the crumbs ⁵⁵⁸⁹ which ³⁵⁸⁸ fell ^{4098 , 5723} from ⁵⁷⁵ the rich man's ⁴¹⁴⁵ table ⁵¹³² : moreover ^{235 , 2532} the dogs ²⁹⁶⁵ came ^{2064 , 5740} and licked ^{621 , 5707} his ⁸⁴⁶ sores ¹⁶⁶⁸ .

And ¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass ^{1096 , 5633} , that the beggar ⁴⁴³⁴ died ^{599 , 5629} , and ²⁵³² was carried ^{667 , 5683} by ⁵²⁵⁹ the angels ³² into ¹⁵¹⁹ Abraham's ¹¹ bosom ²⁸⁵⁹ : the rich man ⁴¹⁴⁵ also ^{1161 , 2532} died ^{599 , 5627} , and ²⁵³² was buried ^{2290 , 5648} ;

And ²⁵³² in ¹⁷²² hell ⁸⁶ he lift up ^{1869 , 5660} his ⁸⁴⁶ eyes ³⁷⁸⁸ , being ^{5225 , 5723} in ¹⁷²² torments ⁹³¹ , and seeth ^{3708 , 5719} Abraham ¹¹ afar ³¹¹³ off ⁵⁷⁵ , and ²⁵³² Lazarus ²⁹⁷⁶ in ¹⁷²² his ⁸⁴⁶ bosom ²⁸⁵⁹ .

And ^{2532 , 846} he cried ^{5455 , 5660} and said ^{2036 , 5627} , Father ³⁹⁶² Abraham ¹¹ , have mercy ^{1653 , 5657} on me ³¹⁶⁵ , and ²⁵³² send ^{3992 , 5657} Lazarus ²⁹⁷⁶ , that ²⁴⁴³ he may dip ^{911 , 5661} the tip ²⁰⁶ of his ⁸⁴⁶ finger ¹¹⁴⁷ in water ⁵²⁰⁴ , and ²⁵³² cool ^{2711 , 5661} my ³⁴⁵⁰ tongue ¹¹⁰⁰ ; for ³⁷⁵⁴ I am tormented ^{3600 , 5743} in ¹⁷²² this ⁵⁰²⁶ flame ⁵³⁹⁵ .

But ¹¹⁶¹ Abraham ¹¹ said ^{2036 , 5627} , Son ⁵⁰⁴³ , remember ^{3415 , 5682} that ³⁷⁵⁴ thou ⁴⁷⁷¹ in ¹⁷²² thy ⁴⁶⁷⁵ lifetime ²²²² receivedst ^{618 , 5627} thy ⁴⁶⁷⁵ good things ¹⁸ , and ²⁵³² likewise ³⁶⁶⁸ Lazarus ²⁹⁷⁶ evil things ²⁵⁵⁶ : but ¹¹⁶¹ now ^{3568 , 3592} he is comforted ^{3870 , 5743} , and ¹¹⁶¹ thou ⁴⁷⁷¹ art tormented ^{3600 , 5743} .

And ²⁵³² beside ¹⁹⁰⁹ all ³⁹⁵⁶ this ⁵¹²⁵ , between ³³⁴² us ²²⁵⁷ and ²⁵³² you ⁵²¹⁶ there is ^{4741 , 0} a great ³¹⁷³ gulf ⁵⁴⁹⁰ fixed ^{4741 , 5769} : so that ³⁷⁰⁴ they which would ^{2309 , 5723} pass ^{1224 , 5629} from hence ¹⁷⁸² to ⁴³¹⁴ you ⁵²⁰⁹ cannot ^{3361 , 1410 , 5741} ; neither ³³⁶⁶ can they pass ^{1276 , 5725} to ⁴³¹⁴ us ²²⁴⁸ , that would come from thence ¹⁵⁶⁴ .

Then ¹¹⁶¹ he said ^{2036 , 5627} , I pray ^{2065 , 5719} thee ⁴⁵⁷¹ therefore ³⁷⁶⁷ , father ³⁹⁶² , that ²⁴⁴³ thou wouldest send ^{3992 , 5661} him ⁸⁴⁶ to ¹⁵¹⁹ my ³⁴⁵⁰ father's ³⁹⁶² house ³⁶²⁴ :

For ¹⁰⁶³ I have ^{2192 , 5719} five ⁴⁰⁰² brethren ⁸⁰ ; that ³⁷⁰⁴ he may testify ^{1263 , 5741} unto them ⁸⁴⁶ , lest ³³⁶³ they ⁸⁴⁶ also ²⁵³² come ^{2064 , 5632} into ¹⁵¹⁹ this ⁵¹²⁶ place ⁵¹¹⁷ of torment ⁹³¹ .

Abraham ¹¹ saith ^{3004 , 5719} unto him ⁸⁴⁶ , They have ^{2192 , 5719} Moses ³⁴⁷⁵ and ²⁵³² the prophets ⁴³⁹⁶ ; let them hear ^{191 , 5657} them ⁸⁴⁶ .

And ¹¹⁶¹ he said ^{2036 , 5627} , Nay ³⁷⁸⁰ , father ³⁹⁶² Abraham ¹¹ : but ²³⁵ if ¹⁴³⁷ one ⁵¹⁰⁰ went ^{4198 , 5680} unto ⁴³¹⁴ them ⁸⁴⁶ from ⁵⁷⁵ the dead ³⁴⁹⁸ , they will repent ^{3340 , 5692} .

And ¹¹⁶¹ he said ^{2036 , 5627} unto him ⁸⁴⁶ , If ¹⁴⁸⁷ they hear ^{191 , 5719} not ³⁷⁵⁶ Moses ³⁴⁷⁵ and ²⁵³² the prophets ⁴³⁹⁶ , neither ³⁷⁶¹ will they be persuaded ^{3982 , 5701} , though ¹⁴³⁷ one ⁵¹⁰⁰ rose ^{450 , 5632} from ¹⁵³⁷ the dead ³⁴⁹⁸ .
