Luke 16
1 And He also said to His disciples, “A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods;
ⲁ̅ⲛⲁϥϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲩⲉⲣⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲃⲟⲗⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱⲣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥϩⲩⲡⲁⲣⲭ ⲟⲛⲧⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
2 and having called him, he said to him, What [is] this I hear about you? Render the account of your stewardship, for you may not be steward any longer.

3 And the steward said in himself, What will I do, because my lord takes away the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig, I am ashamed to beg—

5 And having called near each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord?

8 And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light in respect to their generation. (aiōn g165)

10 He who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;

13 No servant is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one, and he will love the other; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; you are not able to serve God and wealth.”

14 And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding Him,

15 and He said to them, “You are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God knows your hearts; because that which is high among men [is] abomination before God;

17 and it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than one tittle to fall of the Law.

19 And—a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,

20 and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,

21 and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; indeed, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.

22 And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers into the bosom of Abraham—and the rich man also died, and was buried;

23 and having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)

24 and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.

26 and besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from here to you are not able, nor do they pass through from there to us.
