Luke 16

1 The parable of the unjust steward. 14 Christ reproveth the hypocrisy of the covetous Pharisees. 19 The rich glutton, and Lazarus the beggar.

 16:1 ¶ And 1161 he said 3004 z5707 also 2532 unto 4314 his 846 disciples, 3101 There was 2258 z5713 a certain 5100 rich 4145 man, 444 which 3739 had 2192 z5707 a steward; 3623 and 2532 the same 3778 was accused 1225 z5681 unto him 846 that 5613 he had wasted 1287 z5723 his y846 x848 goods. 5224 z5723

 16:2 And 2532 he called 5455 z5660 him, 846 and said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 How 5101 is it that I hear 191 z5719 this 5124 of 4012 thee? 4675 give 591 z5628 an account 3056 of thy 4675 stewardship; 3622 for 1063 thou mayest x1410 be y1410 z5695 no y3756 longer y2089 steward. 3621 z5721 x3756 x2089

 16:3 Then 1161 the x3588 steward 3623 said 2036 z5627 within 1722 himself, 1438 What 5101 shall I do? 4160 z5661 for 3754 my 3450 lord 2962 taketh away 851 z5731 from 575 me 1700 the x3588 stewardship: 3622 I cannot 3756 2480 z5719 dig; 4626 z5721 to beg 1871 z5721 I am ashamed. 153 z5727

 16:4 I am resolved 1097 z5627 what 5101 to do, 4160 z5692 that, 2443 when 3752 I am put out 3179 z5686 of the x3588 stewardship, 3622 they may receive 1209 z5667 me 3165 into 1519 their y846 x848 houses. 3624

 16:5 So 2532 he called 4341 z5666 every 1538 one 1520 of his 1438 lord's 2962 debtors 5533 [unto him], and said 3004 z5707 unto the x3588 first, 4413 How much 4214 owest x3784 thou y3784 z5719 unto my 3450 lord? 2962

 16:6 And 1161 he x3588 said, 2036 z5627 An hundred 1540 measures 943 of oil. 1637 And 2532 he said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Take 1209 z5663 thy 4675 bill, 1121 and 2532 sit down 2523 z5660 quickly, 5030 and write 1125 z5657 fifty. 4004

 16:7 Then y1899 x1889 said x2036 he y2036 z5627 to another, 2087 And 1161 how much 4214 owest 3784 z5719 thou? 4771 And 1161 he x3588 said, 2036 z5627 An hundred 1540 measures 2884 of wheat. 4621 And 2532 he said 3004 z5719 unto him, 846 Take 1209 z5663 thy 4675 bill, 1121 and 2532 write 1125 z5657 fourscore. 3589

 16:8 And 2532 the x3588 lord 2962 commended 1867 z5656 the x3588 unjust 93 steward, 3623 because 3754 he had done 4160 z5656 wisely: 5430 for 3754 the x3588 children 5207 of this 5127 world 165 are 1526 z5748 in 1519 their 1438 generation 1074 wiser 5429 than 5228 the x3588 children 5207 of light. 5457

 16:9 And I 2504 say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 Make 4160 z5657 to yourselves 1438 friends 5384 of 1537 the x3588 mammon 3126 of unrighteousness; 93 that, 2443 when 3752 ye fail, 1587 z5632 they may receive 1209 z5667 you 5209 into 1519 everlasting 166 habitations. 4633

 16:10 He that is faithful 4103 in 1722 that which is least 1646 is 2076 z5748 faithful 4103 also 2532 in 1722 much: 4183 and 2532 he that is unjust 94 in 1722 the least 1646 is 2076 z5748 unjust 94 also 2532 in 1722 much. 4183

 16:11 If 1487 therefore 3767 ye have y1096 z0 not 3756 been 1096 z5633 faithful 4103 in 1722 the x3588 unrighteous 94 mammon, 3126 who 5101 will commit y4100 z0 to your y5213 trust 4100 z5692 x5213 the x3588 true 228 [riches]?

 16:12 And 2532 if 1487 ye have y1096 z0 not 3756 been 1096 z5633 faithful 4103 in 1722 that which is another man's, 245 who 5101 shall give 1325 z5692 you 5213 that which is your own? 5212

 16:13 ¶ No 3762 servant 3610 can 1410 z5736 serve 1398 z5721 two 1417 masters: 2962 for 1063 either 2228 he will hate 3404 z5692 the x3588 one, 1520 and 2532 love 25 z5692 the x3588 other; 2087 or else 2228 he will hold y472 z5695 to x472 the one, 1520 and 2532 despise 2706 z5692 the x3588 other. 2087 Ye cannot 3756 1410 z5736 serve 1398 z5721 God 2316 and 2532 mammon. 3126

 16:14 And 1161 the x3588 Pharisees 5330 also, 2532 who were 5225 z5723 covetous, 5366 heard 191 z5707 all 3956 these things: 5023 and 2532 they derided 1592 z5707 him. 846

 16:15 And 2532 he said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 Ye 5210 are 2075 z5748 they which justify 1344 z5723 yourselves 1438 before 1799 men; 444 but 1161 God 2316 knoweth 1097 z5719 your 5216 hearts: 2588 for 3754 that which is highly esteemed 5308 among 1722 men 444 is 2076 z5748 abomination 946 in the sight 1799 of God. 2316

 16:16 The x3588 law 3551 and 2532 the x3588 prophets 4396 [were] until 2193 John: 2491 since 575 that time 5119 the x3588 kingdom 932 of God 2316 is preached, 2097 z5743 and 2532 every man 3956 presseth 971 z5731 into 1519 it. 846

 16:17 And 1161 it is 2076 z5748 easier 2123 for heaven 3772 and 2532 earth 1093 to pass, 3928 z5629 than 2228 one 3391 tittle 2762 of the x3588 law 3551 to fail. 4098 z5629

 16:18 Whosoever 3956 putteth away 630 z5723 his y846 x848 wife, 1135 and 2532 marrieth 1060 z5723 another, 2087 committeth adultery: 3431 z5719 and 2532 whosoever 3956 marrieth 1060 z5723 her that is put away 630 z5772 from 575 [her] husband 435 committeth adultery. 3431 z5719

 16:19 ¶ y1161 There x1161 was 2258 z5713 a certain 5100 rich 4145 man, 444 which 2532 was clothed 1737 z5710 in purple 4209 and 2532 fine linen, 1040 and fared 2165 z5746 sumptuously 2988 every y2596 day: 2250 x2596

 16:20 And 1161 there was 2258 z5713 a certain 5100 beggar 4434 named 3686 Lazarus, 2976 which 3739 was laid 906 z5718 at 4314 his 846 gate, 4440 full of sores, 1669 z5772

 16:21 And 2532 desiring 1937 z5723 to be fed 5526 z5683 with 575 the x3588 crumbs 5589 which y3588 fell 4098 z5723 from 575 the x3588 rich man's 4145 table: 5132 moreover 235 2532 the x3588 dogs 2965 came 2064 z5740 and licked 621 z5707 his 846 sores. 1668

 16:22 And 1161 it came to pass, 1096 z5633 that the x3588 beggar 4434 died, 599 z5629 and 2532 was x846 carried 667 z5683 by 5259 the x3588 angels 32 into 1519 Abraham's 11 bosom: 2859 x1161 the x3588 rich man 4145 also 2532 y1161 died, 599 z5627 and 2532 was buried; 2290 z5648

 16:23 And 2532 in 1722 hell 86 he lift up 1869 z5660 his y846 x848 eyes, 3788 being 5225 z5723 in 1722 torments, 931 and seeth y3708 z5719 x3704 Abraham 11 afar y3113 off, 575 x3113 and 2532 Lazarus 2976 in 1722 his 846 bosom. 2859

 16:24 And 2532 y846 he x846 cried 5455 z5660 and said, 2036 z5627 Father 3962 Abraham, 11 have mercy 1653 z5657 on me, 3165 and 2532 send 3992 z5657 Lazarus, 2976 that 2443 he may dip 911 z5661 the x3588 tip 206 of his y846 x848 finger 1147 in water, 5204 and 2532 cool 2711 z5661 my 3450 tongue; 1100 for 3754 I am tormented 3600 z5743 in 1722 this 5026 flame. 5395

 16:25 But 1161 Abraham 11 said, 2036 z5627 Son, 5043 remember 3415 z5682 that 3754 thou 4771 in 1722 thy 4675 lifetime 2222 receivedst 618 z5627 thy 4675 good things, 18 and 2532 likewise 3668 Lazarus 2976 evil things: 2556 but 1161 now 3568 y3592 he x3592 is comforted, 3870 z5743 and 1161 thou 4771 art tormented. 3600 z5743

 16:26 And 2532 beside 1909 all 3956 this, 5125 between 3342 us 2257 and 2532 you 5216 there is y4741 z0 a great 3173 gulf 5490 fixed: 4741 z5769 so that 3704 they which would 2309 z5723 pass 1224 z5629 from hence 1782 to 4314 you 5209 cannot; 3361 1410 z5741 neither 3366 can they pass 1276 z5725 to 4314 us, 2248 that [would come] from thence. 1564

 16:27 Then 1161 he said, 2036 z5627 I pray 2065 z5719 thee 4571 therefore, 3767 father, 3962 that 2443 thou wouldest send 3992 z5661 him 846 to 1519 my 3450 father's 3962 house: 3624

 16:28 For 1063 I have 2192 z5719 five 4002 brethren; 80 that 3704 he may testify 1263 z5741 unto them, 846 lest 3363 they 846 also 2532 come 2064 z5632 into 1519 this 5126 place 5117 of torment. 931

 16:29 Abraham 11 saith 3004 z5719 unto him, 846 They have 2192 z5719 Moses 3475 and 2532 the x3588 prophets; 4396 let them hear 191 z5657 them. 846

 16:30 And 1161 he x3588 said, 2036 z5627 Nay, 3780 father 3962 Abraham: 11 but 235 if 1437 one 5100 went 4198 z5680 unto 4314 them 846 from 575 the dead, 3498 they will repent. 3340 z5692

 16:31 And 1161 he said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 If y1487 they hear 191 z5719 not 3756 Moses 3475 and 2532 the x3588 prophets, 4396 neither y3761 x3756 will they be persuaded, 3982 z5701 though 1437 x3761 one 5100 rose 450 z5632 from 1537 the dead. 3498
