1 耶稣又对门徒说： "有一个财主的管家， 有人在他主人面前告他浪费主人的财物。
2 主人把他叫来， 对他说： ‘我听见关于你的是怎么一回事呢？把你管理的帐目交代清楚， 因为你不能再作管家了。’
3 那管家心里说： ‘主人不要我再作管家了， 我作什么才好呢？锄地吧， 没有力气！ 讨饭吧， 怕羞！
4 我知道要怎么作了， 好使人在我离开管家的职务以后， 接我到他们家里去。’
5 于是把欠他主人债的人， 一个一个地叫来， 问头一个说： ‘你欠我主人多少？’
6 他说： ‘四千公升油。’管家说： ‘拿你的欠单去， 快坐下写二千。’
7 又问一个说： ‘你欠多少？’他说： ‘四万公升麦子。’管家说： ‘拿你的欠单去， 写三万。’
8 主人就夸奖这不义的管家作事机警； 因为在应付自己的世事上， 今世之子比光明之子更精明。
9 我告诉你们， 要用不义的钱财去结交朋友， 好叫钱财无用的时候， 他们可以接你们到永恒的帐棚里。
10 在最小的事上忠心的， 在大事上也忠心； 在最小的事上不义的， 在大事上也不义。
11 如果你们在不义的钱财上不忠心， 谁还把真实的钱财托付给你们呢？
12 如果你们在别人的东西上不忠心， 谁还把你们自己的东西交给你们呢？
13 "一个家仆不能服事两个主人； 他若不是恨这个爱那个， 就是忠于这个轻视那个。你们不能服事 神， 又服事金钱。"
14 贪财的法利赛人听见这些话， 就嗤笑耶稣。
15 耶稣对他们说： "你们在人面前自称为义， 神却知道你们的心； 因为人所高举的， 神却看作是可憎恶的。
16 律法和先知到约翰就结束了。从此， 神的国的福音就传开了， 人人都要努力进去。
17 天地过去， 要比律法的一点一画失效还容易呢。
18 凡休妻另娶的， 就犯了奸淫； 娶被丈夫所休的， 也是犯了奸淫。
19 "有一个财主， 身穿紫色袍和细麻衣， 天天奢华宴乐。
20 又有一个乞丐， 名叫拉撒路， 满身是疮， 被人放在财主门口，
21 想得财主桌子上掉下来的零碎充饥； 并且有狗来舔他的疮。
22 后来乞丐死了， 被天使送到亚伯拉罕的怀里。那财主也死了， 并且埋葬了。
23 财主在阴间受痛苦， 举目远远望见亚伯拉罕， 和他怀里的拉撒路，
24 就喊着说： ‘我祖亚伯拉罕啊， 可怜我吧！ 打发拉撒路来用指头蘸点水， 凉凉我的舌头吧！ 因为我在这火焰里非常痛苦。’
25 亚伯拉罕说： ‘孩子， 你应该回想你生前享过福， 同样拉撒路受过苦， 现在他在这里得安慰， 你却要受苦了。
26 不但这样， 我们与你们之间， 有深渊隔开， 人想从这边过到你们那里是不可能的， 从那边过到我们这边也是不可能的。’
27 那人说： ‘我祖啊， 那么求你差遣拉撒路到我家里去，
28 因为我有五个兄弟， 他可以警告他们， 免得他们也到这受苦的地方来。’
29 亚伯拉罕说： ‘他们有摩西和先知可以听从。’
30 他说： ‘不然， 我祖亚伯拉罕啊， 如果有人从死人中复活， 到他们那里去， 他们必定会悔改。’
31 亚伯拉罕说： ‘如果他们不听从摩西和先知， 就算有一个从死人中复活的人， 他们也不会接受劝告。’"
1 And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods. 2 And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward. 3 And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed. 4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 5 And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? 6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty. 7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore. 8 And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light. 9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. 10 He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much. 11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? 13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God. 16 The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it. 17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
18 Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.
19 Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day: 20 and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried. 23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us. 27 And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house; 28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.
