19耶稣又说：“有个财主天天衣着华丽，生活奢侈。20又有一个名叫拉撒路的乞丐身上长满了脓疮，被人放在财主家门口。21他渴望吃到财主桌上掉下来的食物残渣，却只有狗来舔他的疮。22“后来，乞丐死了，天使带他到亚伯拉罕身边。财主也死了，被人埋葬了。23他在阴间受折磨，抬头远远地看见亚伯拉罕和他身边的拉撒路，24就喊着说，‘我的先祖亚伯拉罕啊！求你可怜我，派拉撒路用指尖蘸点水来润润我的舌头吧！我在这火中实在痛苦不堪。’25“亚伯拉罕说，‘孩子啊！你要想想，你生前享福，而拉撒路受苦；如今他在这里得到安慰，而你受折磨。26况且，在你我中间隔着一道深渊，这边的人不能到你那边去，你那边的人也不能到这里来。’27“财主说，‘我的先祖啊，那么求你派拉撒路去我父亲家里，28因为我有五个弟兄。让拉撒路去警告他们，以免他们也来到这痛苦的地方。’29“但是亚伯拉罕却说，‘他们可以听从摩西和众先知的话呀！’30“财主回答说，‘我的先祖亚伯拉罕啊！他们不会听的。但如果有一个死而复活的人去警告他们，他们肯定会悔改！’31“亚伯拉罕说，‘如果他们不听从摩西和众先知的话，即使一个人从死里复活，他们也不会信服。’”

The Parable of the Dishonest Manager
1He also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions.2And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’3And the manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.4I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.’5So, summoning his master’s debtors one by one, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’6He said, ‘A hundred measures* of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’7Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred measures* of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’8The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world* are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.9And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth,* so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.10“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.11If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?12And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?13No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”
The Law and the Kingdom of God
14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him.15And he said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.16“The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone forces his way into it.*17But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void.
Divorce and Remarriage
18“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19“There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.20And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,21who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.22The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side.* The rich man also died and was buried,23and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.24And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’25But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’27And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house—28for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’29But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’30And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’31He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”
