Prispodoba o nepravednom upravitelju
16 Govorio je pak svojim učenicima: »Bijaše neki bogati čovjek koji je imao upravitelja. Toga mu optužiše kao da mu rasipa imanje. 2 Pozvavši ga reče mu: 'Što to čujem o tebi? Položi račun o svojem upravljanju, jer više ne možeš biti upravitelj.' 3 A upravitelj reče u sebi: 'Što da učinim, kad mi moj gospodar oduzima upravljanje? Kopati? Nisam u stanju. Prositi? Stidim se. 4 Znam što ću učiniti da me prime u svoje kuće kad budem maknut s upravljanja.'
5 I pozvavši dužnike svoga gospodara, jednog po jednog, reče prvomu: 'Koliko duguješ mom gospodaru?' 6 A on reče: 'Sto bata ulja.' On mu pak reče: 'Uzmi svoju zadužnicu, sjedni brzo i napiši pedeset!' 7 Zatim reče drugomu: 'A koliko ti duguješ?' On reče: 'Sto korova pšenice.' Rekne mu: 'Uzmi svoju zadužnicu i napiši osamdeset!' 8 I pohvali gospodar nepravednog upravitelja što pronicavo postupi. Doista, među svojim su suvremenicima sinovi ovoga svijeta pronicljiviji od sinova svjetla.
9 I ja vama kažem: steknite sebi prijatelje nepravednim, ovozemnim bogatstvom, da vas, kad nestane, prime u vječne šatore.
10 Tko je vjeran u najmanjem, i u velikome je vjeran; tko je pak nepravedan u najmanjem, i u velikom je nepravedan. 11 Ako dakle niste bili vjerni u nepravednom, ovozemnom bogatstvu, tko li će vam ono istinsko povjeriti? 12 I ako u tuđem niste bili vjerni, tko li će vam dati vaše?
13 Nijedan sluga ne može služiti dvojici gospodara; jer, ili će jednoga mrziti, a drugoga ljubiti; ili će se uz jednoga držati, a drugoga prezreti. Ne možete služiti Bogu i ovozemnom bogatstvu!«
14 Sve su to slušali farizeji, koji bijahu srebroljupci, i rugali su mu se. 15 I on im reče: »Vi ste oni koji se činite pravedni pred ljudima, ali Bog zna vaša srca. Jer što je pred ljudima visoko, gnusoba je pred Bogom.«
Zakon i Proroci
16 »Zakon i Proroci do Ivana su, a otada se navješćuje Evanđelje o kraljevstvu Božjem, i svatko u nj nasilno ulazi. 17 Ali lakše će nebo i zemlja proći negoli propasti i jedan potezić iz Zakona.«
Nerazrješivost ženidbe
18 »Tko god otpusti svoju ženu pa se oženi drugom, čini preljub. I tko god se oženi onom od muža otpuštenom, čini preljub.«
Bogataš i Lazar
19 »Bijaše pak neki bogataš; odijevao se u grimiz i najfiniji lan, gosteći se raskošno svaki dan. 20 A neki siromah, imenom Lazar, ležao je pred njegovim vratima sav u čirevima, 21 željan nasititi se onim što je padalo s bogataševa stola. Štoviše, i psi su dolazili i lizali mu čireve.
22 I siromah umrije, a anđeli ga odnesoše u krilo Abrahamovo. Umrije i bogataš te bude pokopan. 23 I u paklu, dok je bio u mukama, podiže oči svoje te izdaleka ugleda Abrahama i Lazara u njegovu krilu, 24 pa zavapi: 'Oče Abrahame! Smiluj mi se i pošalji Lazara da vršak svoga prsta umoči u vodu i jezik mi rashladi, jer teške muke trpim u ovom plamenu.' 25 Ali mu Abraham reče: 'Sinko, sjeti se da si za svojega života primio svoja dobra, a tako i Lazar zla. Sada se on ovdje tješi, a ti trpiš teške muke. 26 Osim toga, između nas i vas velika je provalija otvorena tako da ne mogu prijeći ni oni koji bi htjeli odavde k vama, niti oni odande prijeći k nama.' 27 Tada reče: 'Molim te onda, oče, da ga pošalješ u kuću mojega oca, 28 jer imam petero braće pa neka im posvjedoči da ne bi i oni došli u ovo mjesto muka.' 29 Reče Abraham: 'Imaju Mojsija i Proroke! Njih neka poslušaju!' 30 A on reče: 'Ne, oče Abrahame, nego dođe li im tko od mrtvih, obratit će se!' 31 A on mu reče: 'Ako ne slušaju Mojsija i Proroke, neće povjerovati ni ako tko od mrtvih ustane.'«
Luke 16
King James Version
16 And 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.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot 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 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
8 And 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.
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
10 He 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.
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 man's, who shall 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 the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15 And 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.
16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift 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 tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then 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 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto 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, though one rose from the dead.
