Luke 16:1-27

16:1

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)_.

16:2

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)_.

16:3

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)_.

16:4

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>_.

16:5

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>_?

16:6

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}

16:7

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}

16:8

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>_.

16:9

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}

16:10

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>_.

16:11

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}

16:12

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>_?

16:13

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>_.

16:14

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>_.

16:15

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>_.

16:16

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>_.

16:17

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)_.

16:18

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)_.

16:19

<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>_:

16:20

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)_,

16:21

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>_.

16:22

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)_;

16:23

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>_.

16:24

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>_.

16:25

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)_.

16:26

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>_.

16:27

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>_:
