  Luke chapter 16 Now he was also saying to the disciples, there
• 0:04
  was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was
• 0:06
  reported to him as squandering his possessions.
• 0:09
  And he called him and said to him, what is this I hear about
• 0:12
  you? Give an accounting of your
• 0:13
  management, for you can no longer be manager.
• 0:16
  The manager said to himself, what shall I do since my master
• 0:19
  is taking the management away from me?
• 0:21
  I'm not strong enough to dig. I'm ashamed to beg.
• 0:24
  I know what I shall do so that when I am removed from the
• 0:28
  management, people will welcome me into their homes.
• 0:30
  And he summoned each one of his master's debtors.
• 0:32
  And he began saying to the first, how much do you owe my
• 0:35
  master? And he said, 100 measures of
• 0:38
  oil. And he said to him, Take your
• 0:40
  bill and sit down quickly and write 50.
• 0:42
  Then he said to another, And how much do you owe?
• 0:45
  And he said 100 measures of wheat.
• 0:48
  And he said to him, take your bill and write 80.
• 0:51
  And his master praised the unrighteous manager, because he
• 0:53
  acted shrewdly. But the sons of this age are
• 0:55
  more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light.
• 0:59
  And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the
• 1:02
  wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will
• 1:06
  receive you into the eternal dwellings.
• 1:08
  He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in
• 1:11
  much. And he who is unrighteous in a
• 1:13
  very little thing is unrighteous also in much.
• 1:16
  Therefore, if you have been faithful in the use of
• 1:19
  unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?
• 1:23
  If you have not been faithful in the use of that which is
• 1:25
  another's, who will give you what is your own?
• 1:28
  No servant can serve 2 masters, for either he will hate the one
• 1:32
  and love the other, or else he will be devoted to 1 and despise
• 1:35
  the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
• 1:39
  Now the Pharisees, who are lovers of money, were listening
• 1:41
  to all these things, and were scoffing at Him.
• 1:43
  And he said to them, You are those who justify yourselves in
• 1:46
  the sight of men, but God knows your hearts.
• 1:49
  For that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable
• 1:51
  in the sight of God. The law and the prophets were
• 1:54
  proclaimed until John. Since that time the gospel of
• 1:57
  the Kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is
• 2:00
  forcing his way into it. But it is easier for heaven and
• 2:03
  earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the law to
• 2:06
  fail. Everyone who divorces his wife
• 2:09
  and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one
• 2:12
  who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
• 2:15
  Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and
• 2:18
  fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day.
• 2:22
  And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with
• 2:25
  sores, and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were
• 2:29
  falling from the rich man's table.
• 2:31
  Besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores.
• 2:35
  Now the poor man died, and was carried away by the angels to
• 2:37
  Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died and
• 2:40
  was buried in Hades. He lifted up his eyes, being in
• 2:43
  torment, and saw Abraham far away, and Lazarus in his bosom.
• 2:47
  And he cried out and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me
• 2:51
  and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in
• 2:53
  water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.
• 2:59
  But Abraham said, Child, remember that during your life
• 3:02
  you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things.
• 3:06
  But now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony.
• 3:10
  And besides all this, between US and you there is a great chasm
• 3:13
  fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will
• 3:16
  not be able, and that none may crossover from there to us.
• 3:21
  And he said, Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my
• 3:24
  father's house, for I have 5 brothers, in order that he may
• 3:27
  warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of
• 3:30
  torment. But Abraham said they have Moses
• 3:33
  and the prophets, let them hear them.
• 3:36
  But he said no, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from
• 3:40
  the dead, they will repent. But he said to him, if they do
• 3:44
  not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be
• 3:47
  persuaded, even if someone rises from the dead.
