1And 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. 2And hee called him, and saide vnto him, Howe is it that I heare this of thee? Giue an accounts of thy stewardship: for thou maiest be no longer steward. 3Then the stewarde saide within himselfe, What shall I doe? for my master taketh away from me the stewardship. I cannot digge, and to begge I am ashamed. 4I knowe what I will doe, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receiue mee into their houses. 5Then called he vnto him euery one of his masters detters, & said vnto the first, Howe much owest thou vnto my master? 6And he said, An hudreth measures of oyle; he saide to him, Take thy writing, and sitte downe quickely, and write fiftie. 7Then said he to another, How much owest thou? And hee sayde, An hundreth measures of wheate. Then he saide to him, Take thy writing, and write foure score. 8And 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. 9And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. 10He 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. 11If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]? 12And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? 13No 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. 14All these thinges heard the Pharises also which were couetous, and they scoffed at him. 15And 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. 16The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. 17Nowe it is more easie that heauen and earth shoulde passe away, then that one title of the Lawe should fall. 18Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband committeth adultery. 19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20Also there was a certaine begger named Lazarus, which was laide at his gate full of sores, 21And desired to bee refreshed with the crommes that fell from the riche mans table: yea, and the dogges came and licked his sores. 22And it was so that the begger died, and was caried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome. The rich man also died, and was buried. 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24Then he cried, and saide, Father Abraham, haue mercie on mee, and sende Lazarus that hee may dippe the tip of his finger in water, & coole my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham saide, Sonne, remember that thou in thy life time receiuedst thy pleasures, and likewise Lazarus paines: now therefore is he comforted, and thou art tormented. 26Besides all this, betweene you & vs there is a great gulfe set, so that they which would goe from hence to you, can not: neither ca they come from thence to vs. 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28(For I haue fiue brethren) that he may testifie vnto them, least they also come into this place of torment. 29Abraham said vnto him, They haue Moses and the Prophets: let them heare them. 30And he sayde, Nay, father Abraham: but if one came vnto them from the dead, they will amend their liues. 31Then he saide vnto him, If they heare not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rise from the dead againe.
