| 1 | Then He also said to the students: "There was a certain wealthy man who had a steward, and he had suspected him of squandering his possessions. |
| 2 | And calling him he said to him 'What is this I hear about you? Give me an account of your stewardship, for you are no longer able to be steward.' |
| 3 | And the steward said to himself 'What shall I do, that my master has taken the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. |
| 4 | I know what I shall do, in order that when I have been removed from the stewardship they shall receive me into their houses!' |
| 5 | And calling on each one of those indebted to his master, he said to the first 'How much do you owe my master?' |
| 6 | And he said 'A hundred baths of olive oil.' So he said to him 'Take your records, and quickly sitting down write fifty.' |
| 7 | Next he said to another 'And how much do you owe?' And he said 'A hundred kors of grain.' He says to him 'Take your records and write eighty.' |
| 8 | And the master praised the unrighteous steward because he did wisely, because the sons of this age are wiser than the sons of light are towards their own race. |
| 9 | And I say to you, shall you make for yourselves friends from the riches of unrighteousness, that when you should fail they may receive you into eternal dwellings? |
| 10 | "He who is faithful with little is also faithful with much, and he who is unrighteous with little is also unrighteous with much. |
| 11 | Therefore if you have not been faithful with the unrighteous riches, who shall entrust to you the true? |
| 12 | And if with that of another you have not been faithful, who will give to you that which is your own? |
| 13 | No one servant is able to serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will endure the one and despise the other. You are not able to serve Yahweh and riches!" |
| 14 | And hearing all these things the Pharisees being lovers of money then scorned Him. |
| 15 | And He said to them "You are justifying yourselves before men, but Yahweh knows the things of your hearts. For that which is being exalted among men is an abomination before Yahweh. |
| 16 | "The law and the prophets were until Iohannes. From then the Kingdom of Yahweh is proclaimed and all force their way into it. |
| 17 | It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of the law to fail. |
| 18 | Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and she being divorced from a man commits adultery marrying. |
| 19 | "Now there was a certain wealthy man, and he was clothed in purple and linen, enjoying himself splendidly each day. |
| 20 | And there was a certain poor man named Lazaros cast before his gates having sores, |
| 21 | and desiring to be fed from those things which fall from the table of the rich man, yet even the dogs coming licked his sores. |
| 22 | Then it happened that the poor man died and he was taken up by the messengers into the bosom of Abraham. Then the wealthy man also died and was buried. |
| 23 | And in Hades lifting his eyes, being in trials, he saw Abraham from afar, and Lazaros in his bosom. |
| 24 | And calling out he said 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazaros in order that he may dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I travail in this fire!' |
| 25 | But Abraham said 'Child, you must remember that you received your good things during your life, yet Lazaros likewise evil things. And now here he shall be consoled, but you shall travail. |
| 26 | And besides all this, between you and us a great chasm has been fixed, by which those wishing to pass across from here to you are not able, neither from there to us may they cross.' |
| 27 | And he said 'Then I ask you, father, that you may send him to the house of my father, |
| 28 | for I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them that they may not also come to this place of trial. |
| 29 | But Abraham said 'They have Moses and the prophets. They must hear them!' |
| 30 | Then he said 'No! Father Abraham! But if one would go to them from the dead, they shall repent!' |
| 31 | But he said to him: 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither would they be persuaded should one be resurrected from the dead!'" |
