Give an account of your management, because you can no longer be manager.' 3 The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking away my position? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.' 4 'I know what I will do so that, when I am removed from my position, people will welcome me into their homes.' 5 So he called in each one of his master's debtors. He asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' 6 The man replied, 'A hundred measures of olive oil.' The manager told him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write fifty.' 7 Then he asked another, 'And how much do you owe?' The man replied, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' The manager told him, 'Take your bill and write eighty.' 8 The master praised the dishonest manager for acting shrewdly, because the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light. 9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves using worldly wealth so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings. 10 Whoever is faithful with very little is also faithful with much, 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, who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with what belongs to someone else, who will give you what is truly yours? 13 No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.

What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight." 16 "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing their way into it." 17 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the smallest stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law. 18 Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. 19 "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores. 21 He longed to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. 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, 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.' 25 But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.' 26 And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that those who want to cross from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us. 27 He said, 'Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so they will not also come to this place of torment.' 29 But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' 30 ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ 31 But Abraham 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.'
