不义的管家

16 耶稣又对门徒说:“有一个财主的管家,别人向他主人告他浪费主人的财物。 主人叫他来,对他说:‘我听见你这事怎么样呢?把你所经管的交代明白,因你不能再做我的管家。’ 那管家心里说:‘主人辞我,不用我再做管家,我将来做什么?锄地呢,无力;讨饭呢,怕羞。 我知道怎么行,好叫人在我不做管家之后,接我到他们家里去。’ 于是,把欠他主人债的一个一个地叫了来,问头一个说:‘你欠我主人多少?’ 他说:‘一百篓[a]油。’管家说:‘拿你的账,快坐下写五十。’ 又问一个说:‘你欠多少?’他说:‘一百石麦子。’管家说:‘拿你的账,写八十。’ 主人就夸奖这不义的管家做事聪明,因为今世之子在世事之上,较比光明之子更加聪明。 我又告诉你们:要借着那不义的钱财结交朋友,到了钱财无用的时候,他们可以接你们到永存的帐幕里去。 10 人在最小的事上忠心,在大事上也忠心;在最小的事上不义,在大事上也不义。 11 倘若你们在不义的钱财上不忠心,谁还把那真实的钱财托付你们呢? 12 倘若你们在别人的东西上不忠心,谁还把你们自己的东西给你们呢?

一个仆人不能侍奉两个主

13 “一个仆人不能侍奉两个主,不是恶这个爱那个,就是重这个轻那个。你们不能又侍奉神,又侍奉玛门。”

14 法利赛人是贪爱钱财的,他们听见这一切话,就嗤笑耶稣。 15 耶稣对他们说:“你们是在人面前自称为义的,你们的心,神却知道。因为人所尊贵的,是神看为可憎恶的。 16 律法和先知到约翰为止,从此神国的福音传开了,人人努力要进去。 17 天地废去较比律法的一点一画落空还容易。

论休妻

18 “凡休妻另娶的,就是犯奸淫;娶被休之妻的,也是犯奸淫。

财主和拉撒路

19 “有一个财主,穿着紫色袍和细麻布衣服,天天奢华宴乐。 20 又有一个讨饭的名叫拉撒路,浑身生疮,被人放在财主门口, 21 要得财主桌子上掉下来的零碎充饥,并且狗来舔他的疮。 22 后来那讨饭的死了,被天使带去放在亚伯拉罕的怀里。财主也死了,并且埋葬了。 23 他在阴间受痛苦,举目远远地望见亚伯拉罕,又望见拉撒路在他怀里, 24 就喊着说:‘我祖亚伯拉罕哪,可怜我吧!打发拉撒路来,用指头尖蘸点水,凉凉我的舌头,因为我在这火焰里极其痛苦。’ 25 亚伯拉罕说:‘儿啊,你该回想你生前享过福,拉撒路也受过苦;如今他在这里得安慰,你倒受痛苦。 26 不但这样,并且在你我之间有深渊限定,以致人要从这边过到你们那边是不能的,要从那边过到我们这边也是不能的。’ 27 财主说:‘我祖啊,既是这样,求你打发拉撒路到我父家去, 28 因为我还有五个弟兄,他可以对他们作见证,免得他们也来到这痛苦的地方。’ 29 亚伯拉罕说:‘他们有摩西和先知的话可以听从。’ 30 他说:‘我祖亚伯拉罕哪,不是的,若有一个从死里复活的,到他们那里去的,他们必要悔改。’ 31 亚伯拉罕说:‘若不听从摩西和先知的话,就是有一个从死里复活的,他们也是不听劝。’”

The Parable of the Shrewd Manager

16 Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.(A) So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’

“The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg— I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’

“So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’

“‘Nine hundred gallons[a] of olive oil,’ he replied.

“The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’

“Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’

“‘A thousand bushels[b] of wheat,’ he replied.

“He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’

“The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world(B) are more shrewd(C) in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.(D) I tell you, use worldly wealth(E) to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.(F)

10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much,(G) and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth,(H) who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?

13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”(I)

14 The Pharisees, who loved money,(J) heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.(K) 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves(L) in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts.(M) What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.

Additional Teachings

16 “The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John.(N) Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached,(O) and everyone is forcing their way into it. 17 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.(P)

18 “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(Q)

The Rich Man and Lazarus

19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.(R) 20 At his gate was laid a beggar(S) named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table.(T) Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham,(U) have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’(V)

25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things,(W) but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.(X) 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’

27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them,(Y) so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses(Z) and the Prophets;(AA) let them listen to them.’

30 “‘No, father Abraham,’(AB) he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”
