14 ¶ Yon jou repo, Jezi te al lakay yonn nan chèf farizyen yo pou l' manje. Moun ki te la yo t'ap veye li.
2 Yon nonm ki te gen maladi anfle te la devan Jezi.
3 Jezi pran lapawòl, li mande dirèkte lalwa ak farizyen yo: Eske lalwa pèmèt moun fè gerizon jou repo a, wi ou non?
4 Yo pa reponn li. Lè sa a, Jezi pran nonm malad la, li geri l', epi li voye l' ale.
5 Apre sa, li di yo: Si yonn nan nou gen yon pitit gason l' osinon yon bèf li ki tonbe nan yon pi yon jou repo, èske li p'ap wete l' menm lè a?
6 Yo pa t' kapab reponn li anyen sou sa.
7 ¶ Jezi te wè ki jan moun yo te envite yo t'ap chwazi pi bon plas. Li rakonte parabòl sa a pou yo tout, li di:
8 Lè yo envite ou nan yon nòs, pa al chita nan pi bon plas la. Paske, si nan envite yo gen yon moun ki pi enpòtan pase ou,
9 moun ki envite nou toulède a kapab vin di ou: Bay moun sa a plas la. Lè sa a, wa wont, wa blije al chita nan plas dèyè.
10 Men, lè yo envite ou, mete kò ou dèyè; konsa, lè moun ki envite ou la vini, la ka di ou: Zanmi mwen, pase pi devan nan yon pi bon plas. Lè sa a, se va yon lwanj pou ou devan tout moun ki chita bò tab la ansanm ak ou yo.
11 Se konsa, moun ki vle leve tèt li, y'a desann li, moun ki desann tèt li, y'a leve li.
12 Jezi pale ak moun ki te envite l' la. Li di li: Lè w'ap fè yon fèt, piti ou gwo, pa envite ni zanmi ou, ni frè ou, ni fanmi ou, ni vwazen ou yo ki rich. Paske, yon lè y'a envite ou tou. Konsa, se tankou si yo ta renmèt ou sa ou te fè a.
13 Men, lè w'ap fè yon fèt, envite pòv yo, enfim yo, moun k'ap bwete, moun avèg yo.
14 Konsa, se va yon benediksyon, paske yo p'ap kapab rann ou laparèy. Se Bondye ki va renmèt ou sa lè tout moun ki fè byen yo va leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
15 ¶ Lè l' tande pawòl sa yo, yonn nan moun ki te chita bò tab la di Jezi konsa: Se va yon gwo benediksyon pou moun ki va chita bò tab pou manje nan peyi kote Bondye Wa a.
16 Jezi reponn li: Vwala, se te yon nonm ki te fè yon gwo fèt, li te envite anpil moun.
17 Lè pou fèt la kòmanse, li voye domestik li di envite yo: Vini non, tout bagay fin pare koulye a.
18 Men, tout envite yo, yonn apre lòt, pran fè eskiz. Premye a di li: Mwen fèk achte yon tè, fòk m' al wè li. Tanpri, eskize mwen.
19 Yon lòt di li: Mwen fèk achte senk pè bèf; mwen pral seye yo. Tanpri, eskize mwen.
20 Yon lòt di: Mwen fèk sot marye, se poutèt sa mwen pa ka ale.
21 Domestik la tounen, li rapòte tout repons sa yo bay mèt li. Lè sa a, mèt kay la vin ankòlè; li di domestik la: Ale vit sou tout plas yo ak nan tout lari, mennen tout pòv yo vin isit, tout enfim yo, tout moun avèg ak moun k'ap bwete yo.
22 Apre sa, domestik la di: Mèt, nou fè tou sa ou te mande nou fè, men gen plas toujou.
23 Mèt la di domestik la: Ale nan gran chemen ak nan tout ti wout. Mezi moun wa jwenn, fè yo antre pou kay mwen an ka plen.
24 Paske, m'ap di nou sa: Nan moun mwen te envite yo, pa gen yon sèl ladan yo k'ap goute nan manje m' lan.
25 ¶ Lè sa a, te gen anpil anpil moun ki t'ap fè wout ansanm ak Jezi. Li vire, li di yo:
26 Yon moun ki vin jwenn mwen, si li pa rayi papa l', manman l', pitit li, frè l', sè l', menm pwòp tèt pa l', li pa kapab disip mwen.
27 Moun ki pa pote kwa l' epi ki pa swiv mwen, li pa kapab disip mwen non plis.
28 Si yonn nan nou vle fè yon gwo batisman, premye bagay pou l' fè: se pou l' chita pou l' kalkile konbe sa pral koute l' pou l' wè si li gen kont lajan pou l' fin fè travay la.
29 Si l' pa fè sa, l'ap fin poze fondasyon an, epi l' p'ap ka fini batisman an. Lè sa a, tout moun ki va wè sa va pran pase l' nan betiz.
30 Y'a di: Nonm lan kòmanse bati, men li pa kapab fini.
31 Konsa tou, si yon wa vle fè lagè ak yon lòt wa, premye bagay pou l' fè: l'ap chita pou l' egzaminen bagay la byen, pou l' wè si, avèk dimil (10.000) òm, li kapab mache kontre lòt wa a k'ap mache sou li ak venmil (20.000) òm.
32 Si li pa kapab, antan lòt wa a lwen toujou, l'ap voye kèk mesaje bò kote l' pou mande l' fè aranjman.
33 Jezi di yo ankò: Konsa tou, nou yonn la a pa kab disip mwen, si l' pa detache kè l' sou tou sa l' genyen.
34 Sèl, se yon bon bagay; men si sèl la pèdi gou l', ak kisa pou n' fè l' sale ankò?
35 Lè sa a, sèl la pa bon pou mete ni nan jaden ni nan fimye, se jete pou yo voye sa jete. Si nou gen zòrèy pou n' tande, tande.
15 ¶ Tout pèseptè kontribisyon yo ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal yo t'ap pwoche bò kot Jezi pou tande sa l' t'ap di.
2 Farizyen yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo t'ap babye. Yo t'ap di: Nonm sa a ap resevwa moun k'ap fè sa ki mal, epi l'ap manje ak yo.
3 Lè sa a, Jezi di yo parabòl sa a:
4 Sipoze yonn nan nou gen san (100) mouton. Si l' pèdi yonn ladan yo, èske li p'ap kite katrevendisnèf lòt mouton yo nan dezè a, pou li al dèyè sak pèdi a? L'ap chache l' jouk li jwenn li.
5 Lè l' jwenn li, l'ap mete l' sou zepòl li ak kè kontan.
6 Lè l' tounen lakay li avè l', l'ap rele tout zanmi l' ak tout vwazen l' yo, l'ap di yo: vin fè fèt avè m', mwen jwenn mouton m' ki te pèdi a.
7 Konsa tou, m'ap di nou, va gen plis kontantman nan syèl la pou yon sèl moun ki t'ap fè sa ki mal epi ki tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pase pou katrevendisnèf moun k'ap mache dwat, ki pa bezwen tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
8 Osinon ankò, sipoze yon fanm ki gen dis pyès lajan. Si li pèdi yonn ladan yo, èske li p'ap limen lanp, bale tout kay la, chache nan tout ti kwen jouk li jwenn li?
9 Lè l' jwenn li, l'ap rele zanmi l' ak vwazen li yo, l'ap di yo: vin fè fèt avè m'; mwen jwenn pyès lajan m' ki te pèdi a.
10 Konsa tou, m'ap di nou sa, gen kontantman nan mitan zanj Bondye yo pou yon sèl moun ki t'ap viv nan peche epi ki tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
11 ¶ Jezi di ankò: Vwala, se te yon nonm ki te gen de pitit gason.
12 Pi piti a di papa l': Papa, ban m' pa m' nan byen nou yo. Lè sa a, papa a separe byen l' yo bay tou de.
13 Kèk jou apre, ti gason an ranmase tout afè l', li pati, li ale nan yon peyi byen lwen. Antan li la, li lage kò l' nan banbòch, li gaspiye tout lajan l'.
14 Lè msye fin depanse tout lajan l', yon gwo grangou tonbe sou peyi a. Lè sa a, li vin nan nesesite.
15 li al mande travay lakay yon abitan nan peyi a. Abitan an voye l' nan jaden l' al gade kochon.
16 Lè sa a, li ta byen renmen plen vant li ak sa kochon yo t'ap manje a, men pesonn pa t' ba li.
17 Se lè sa a atò li pran kalkile sou sitiyasyon l'. Li di konsa: Gade kantite moun k'ap travay kay papa m' pou lajan! Yo jwenn manje depase sa yo ka manje. Epi mwen menm, m'ap mouri grangou isit la.
18 M'ap leve, mwen pral tounen jwenn papa m', m'ap di li: Papa, mwen peche kont Bondye, mwen peche kont ou menm tou.
19 Mwen pa merite pou ou konsidere m' pou pitit ou ankò. Gade m' tankou yonn nan moun k'ap travay avè ou yo.
20 Li leve vre, li pran chemen tounen kay papa li. Msye te byen lwen kay la toujou lè papa a wè li. Kè papa a fè l' mal, li kouri al rankontre l', li pase men l' nan kou pitit la epi li bo li.
21 Pitit la di li: Papa, mwen peche kont Bondye, mwen peche kont ou menm tou; mwen pa merite pou ou konsidere m' pou pitit ou ankò.
22 Men, papa a di domestik li yo: Ale vit. Pote pi bèl rad la, mete l' sou li pou mwen. Mete yon bag nan dwèt li, mete soulye nan pye li.
23 Al chache jenn ti towo nou t'ap angrese a, touye l'. Ann fete, ann manje.
24 Paske, pitit gason m' sa a te mouri, men li tounen vivan ankò; li te pèdi, koulye a mwen jwenn li. Epi, yo kòmanse fè fèt.
25 Lè sa a, pi gran gason an te nan jaden. Antan l'ap soti nan jaden, lè l' rive pre kay la, li tande mizik la ak vwa moun k'ap danse yo.
26 Li rele yonn nan domestik yo, li mande li: Sak genyen?
27 Domestik la di li: Ti frè ou la tounen. Papa ou fè touye jenn ti towo nou t'ap angrese a, paske li jwenn msye an sante.
28 Gran frè a fè kòlè, li derefize antre nan kay la. Papa a soti, li mande l' pou l' antre.
29 Men, gran frè a reponn papa a: Gade tout tan mwen genyen depi m'ap sèvi ou; mwen pa janm derespekte lòd ou. Men, ou pa janm ban m' yon ti kabrit menm pou m' fè fèt ak zanmi m' yo.
30 Men, lè pitit gason ou lan tounen, li menm ki fin gaspiye tout byen ou yo ak jennès, se pou li ou fè touye jenn towo nou t'ap angrese a.
31 Papa a di li: Pitit mwen, ou toujou la avè m'; tout sa m' genyen se pou ou.
32 Men, fòk kanmenm nou te fè fèt, nou pa t' ka pa kontan, paske frè ou la te mouri, men li tounen vivan, li te pèdi, mwen jwenn li koulye a.
16 ¶ Jezi di disip li yo: Vwala, se te yon nonm rich ki te gen yon jeran. Yo vin rapòte l' jan jeran an ap gaspiye tout byen l' yo.
2 Li rele jeran an, li di li: Kisa m' tande y'ap di sou ou konsa? vin fè regleman travay ou avè m', paske mwen p'ap kite byen m' yo sou kont ou ankò.
3 Jeran an di nan kè l': Patwon an pral kase m' nan djòb sa a; kisa m' pral fè koulye a? Mwen pa gen fòs pou m' al travay latè. Epi se va yon wont pou m' al mande charite!
4 Bon, mwen konn sa m' pral fè pou lè m' pèdi djòb mwen m'a toujou gen moun ki pou resevwa m' lakay yo.
5 Jeran an fè rele tout moun ki te dwe mèt la, li fè yo vini yonn apre lòt. Li di premye a: Konbe ou dwe mèt la?
6 Li reponn: Mwen dwe l' san (100) bidon lwil. Msye di l': Men papye ou la, chita, ekri senkant. Fè vit.
7 Apre sa, li di yon lòt; Ou menm, konbe ou dwe? Li reponn: San sak (100) mayi. Msye di l': Men papye ou la, ekri katreven.
8 Nonm rich la fè jeran visye a konpliman dapre li te aji ak ladrès sa a. Paske moun k'ap viv dapre prensip lemonn yo regle zafè yo pi byen pase moun ki gen limyè a.
9 Jezi di yo ankò: Nou menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Bat pou nou fè zanmi ak richès ki sou latè. Konsa, lè richès nou va fini, y'a resevwa nou nan kay Bondye ki la pou tout tan an.
10 Moun ki kenbe pawòl li nan tout ti bagay, la kenbe l' nan gwo bagay tou. Men, moun ki pa serye nan ti bagay, li p'ap serye nan gwo bagay non plis.
11 Si ou pa sèvi byen ak richès ou gen sou latè, kilès ki va fè ou konfyans pou richès tout bon yo?
12 Si ou pa t' sèvi byen avèk sa ki te pou lòt moun, ki moun ki va ba ou sak pou ou a?
13 Pesonn pa ka sèvi de mèt byen anmenmtan. Li gen pou l' rayi yonn si l' renmen lòt la. L'ap sèvi yonn byen, men l'ap meprize lòt la. Nou pa ka sèvi Bondye ak lajan anmenmtan.
14 Farizyen yo t'ap koute tout pawòl sa yo tou. Yo t'ap pase Jezi nan betiz paske yo te renmen lajan.
15 Lè sa a Jezi di yo: Nou menm, n'ap chache parèt pou pi bon devan moun, men Bondye konnen sa ki nan kè nou. Bagay moun bay plis enpòtans, se yo Bondye pa vle wè.
16 Kòmandman Moyiz ak liv pwofèt yo te gen fòs lalwa jouk tan Jan Batis te rive. Men, depi lè sa a, se anonse y'ap anonse bon nouvèl peyi kote Bondye Wa a, se nan goumen pou moun antre ladan li.
17 Men, l'ap pi fasil pou syèl la ak tè a disparèt pase pou yon sèl ti detay nan lalwa a pèdi valè li.
18 Si yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou l' marye ak yon lòt, nonm sa a fè adiltè. Lè yon mari kite madanm li, si yon lòt nonm marye ak madanm lan, nonm sa a fè adiltè tou.
19 ¶ Vwala, se te yon nonm rich ki te konn abiye ak bèl twal wouj e blan ki te koute chè. Chak jou, se te gwo fèt banbòch lakay li.
20 Te gen yon pòv yo rele Laza ki te kouche nan papòt nonm rich la. Laza te kouvri ak malenng.
21 Li te byen anvi plen vant li ak bagay ki t'ap soti tonbe anba tab nonm rich la. Sa ki pi rèd, chen t'ap vin niche malenng li yo tou.
22 Pòv la vin mouri, zanj Bondye yo pote l' mete bò kot Abraram nan syèl la. Nonm rich la mouri tou, yo antere li.
23 Pandan l' te kote tout mò yo ye a nan mitan soufrans, li voye je l' byen lwen li wè Abraram ak Laza ansanm avèk li.
24 Nonm rich la rele: Abraram papa, gen pitye pou mwen non! Voye Laza tranpe ti bout dwèt li nan yon ti tak dlò pou l' mete yon frechè sou lang mwen, paske se pa ti soufri m'ap soufri nan flanm sa a.
25 Abraram reponn li: Pitit mwen, chonje byen: ou te resevwa tout bon bagay pa ou yo pandan ou te sou latè. Lè sa a menm, Laza te nan tout mizè li. Koulye a, li jwenn konsolasyon bò isit la, ou menm w'ap soufri.
26 Epitou, gen yon gwo twou ki separe nou avè ou, konsa pa gen mwayen pou moun sot isit la pou y' al jwenn ou, osinon pou moun ta soti kote ou ye a pou vin jwenn nou.
27 Nonm rich la di li: Tanpri, Abraram papa, voye Laza kay papa mwen.
28 Mwen gen senk frè. Mwen ta vle li al di yo jan bagay la ye pou yo pa vin isit nan touman sa a.
29 Abraram reponn li: Yo gen Moyiz ak pwofèt yo pou avèti yo, se pou yo koute yo.
30 Li di li: Non, papa Abraram, yo p'ap koute. Men, si yonn nan mò yo al jwenn yo, y'a chanje lavi yo.
31 Lè sa a, Abraram di li: Si yo pa koute Moyiz ak pwofèt yo, yo p'ap kite pesonn lòt fè yo wè verite a. Li ta mèt yon mò ki ta leve vivan ankò, yo p'ap koute li.
Luke 14-16
New International Version
Luke 14-16
New International Version
Jesus at a Pharisee’s House(A)
14 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee,(B) he was being carefully watched.(C) 2 There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. 3 Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law,(D) “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”(E) 4 But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.
5 Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child[a] or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?”(F) 6 And they had nothing to say.
7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table,(G) he told them this parable: 8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. 9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. 11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(H)
12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. 13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,(I) 14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”(J)
The Parable of the Great Banquet(K)
15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast(L) in the kingdom of God.”(M)
16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. 17 At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
18 “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’
19 “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’
20 “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’
21 “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’(N)
22 “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’
23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. 24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”(O)
The Cost of Being a Disciple
25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.(P) 27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.(Q)
28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.(R)
34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?(S) 35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.(T)
“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(U)
The Parable of the Lost Sheep(V)
15 Now the tax collectors(W) and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”(X)
3 Then Jesus told them this parable:(Y) 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?(Z) 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’(AA) 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.(AB)
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[b] and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’(AC) 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”(AD)
The Parable of the Lost Son
11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons.(AE) 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’(AF) So he divided his property(AG) between them.
13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth(AH) in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.(AI) 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned(AJ) against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.(AK)
21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.(AL) I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe(AM) and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger(AN) and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again;(AO) he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.(AP)
25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
28 “The older brother became angry(AQ) and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property(AR) with prostitutes(AS) comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”(AT)
The Parable of the Shrewd Manager
16 Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.(AU) 2 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.’
3 “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— 4 I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’
5 “So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 “‘Nine hundred gallons[c] of olive oil,’ he replied.
“The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’
7 “Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’
“‘A thousand bushels[d] of wheat,’ he replied.
“He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’
8 “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world(AV) are more shrewd(AW) in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.(AX) 9 I tell you, use worldly wealth(AY) to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.(AZ)
10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much,(BA) 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,(BB) 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.”(BC)
14 The Pharisees, who loved money,(BD) heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.(BE) 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves(BF) in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts.(BG) What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.
Additional Teachings
16 “The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John.(BH) Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached,(BI) 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.(BJ)
18 “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(BK)
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.(BL) 20 At his gate was laid a beggar(BM) named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table.(BN) 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,(BO) 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.’(BP)
25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things,(BQ) but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.(BR) 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,(BS) so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses(BT) and the Prophets;(BU) let them listen to them.’
30 “‘No, father Abraham,’(BV) 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.’”
