But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham"s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man"s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man"s, who shall give you that which is your own?

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

So he called every one of his lord"s debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
