| Luke 16:1 | He said also to His disciples: "There was a rich man who had a steward, about whom a report was brought to him, that he was wasting his property. | And another time he said to the disciples, There was a certain man of great wealth who had a servant; and it was said to him that this servant was wasting his goods. | And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods. |
| Luke 16:2 | He called him and said, "`What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, for I cannot let you hold it any longer.' | And he sent for him and said, What is this which is said about you? give me an account of all you have done, for you will no longer be the manager of my property. | And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for thou mayest be no longer steward. |
| Luke 16:3 | "Then the steward said within himself, "`What am I to do? For my master is taking away the stewardship from me. I am not strong enough for field labour: to beg, I should be ashamed. | And the servant said to himself, What am I to do now that my lord takes away my position? I have not enough strength for working in the fields, and I would be shamed if I made requests for money from people in the streets. | Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. |
| Luke 16:4 | I see what to do, in order that when I am discharged from the stewardship they may give me a home in their own houses.' | I have come to a decision what to do, so that when I am put out of my position they will take me into their houses. | I am resolved what to do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. |
| Luke 16:5 | "So he called all his master's debtors, one by one, and asked the first, `How much are you in debt to my master?' | And sending for every one who was in debt to his lord he said to the first, What is the amount of your debt to my lord? | So he called every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord? |
| Luke 16:6 | "`A hundred firkins of oil,' he replied. "`Here is your account,' said the steward: `sit down quickly and change it into fifty firkins.' | And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said, Take your account straight away and put down fifty. | And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. |
| Luke 16:7 | "To a second he said, "`And how much do you owe?' "`A hundred quarters of wheat,' was the answer. "`Here is your account,' said he: `change it into eighty quarters.' | Then he said to another, What is the amount of your debt? And he said, A hundred measures of grain. And he said to him, Take your account and put down eighty. | Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty. |
| Luke 16:8 | "And the master praised the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for, in relation to their own contemporaries, the men of this age are shrewder than the sons of Light. | And his lord was pleased with the false servant, because he had been wise; for the sons of this world are wiser in relation to their generation than the sons of light. | 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. |
| Luke 16:9 | "But I charge you, so to use the wealth which is ever tempting to dishonesty as to win friends who, when it fails, shall welcome you to the tents that never perish. | And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the eternal resting-places. | And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. |
| Luke 16:10 | The man who is honest in a very small matter is honest in a great one also; and he who is dishonest in a very small matter is dishonest in a great one also. | He who is true in a little, is true in much; he who is false in small things, is false in great. | 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. |
| Luke 16:11 | If therefore you have not proved yourselves faithful in dealing with the wealth that is tainted with fraud, who will entrust to you the true good? | If, then, you have not been true in your use of the wealth of this life, who will give into your care the true wealth? | If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? |
| Luke 16:12 | And if you have not been faithful in dealing with that which is not your own, who will give you that which is your own? | And if you have not been true in your care of the property of other people, who will give you that which is yours? | And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who will give you that which is your own? |
| Luke 16:13 | "No servant can be in bondage to two masters. For either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will cling fast to one and scorn the other. You cannot be bondservants both of God and of gold." | No man may be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other; or he will keep to the one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth. | 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. |
| Luke 16:14 | To all this the Pharisees listened, bitterly jeering at Him; for they were lovers of money. | And the Pharisees, who had a great love of money, hearing these things, were making sport of him. | And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and they derided him. |
| Luke 16:15 | "You are they," He said to them, "who boast of their own goodness before men, but God sees your hearts; for that which holds a proud position among men is detestable in God's sight. | And he said, You take care to seem right in the eyes of men, but God sees your hearts: and those things which are important in the opinion of men, are evil in the eyes of God. | And he said to them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight of God. |
| Luke 16:16 | The Law and the Prophets continued until John came: from that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God has been spreading, and all classes have been forcing their way into it. | The law and the prophets were till John: but then came the preaching of the kingdom of God, and everyone makes his way into it by force. | The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. |
| Luke 16:17 | But it is easier for earth and sky to pass away than for one smallest detail of the Law to fall to the ground. | But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest letter of the law may be dropped out. | And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail. |
| Luke 16:18 | Every man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and he who marries her when so divorced from her husband commits adultery. | Everyone who puts away his wife and takes another, is a false husband: and he who is married to a woman whose husband has put her away, is no true husband to her. | Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery. |
| Luke 16:19 | "There was once a rich man who habitually arrayed himself in purple and fine linen, and enjoyed a splendid banquet every day, | Now there was a certain man of great wealth, who was dressed in fair clothing of purple and delicate linen, and was shining and glad every day. | There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: |
| Luke 16:20 | while at his outer door there lay a beggar, Lazarus by name, | And a certain poor man, named Lazarus, was stretched out at his door, full of wounds, | And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores, |
| Luke 16:21 | covered with sores and longing to make a full meal off the scraps flung on the floor from the rich man's table. Nay, the dogs, too, used to come and lick his sores. | Desiring the broken bits of food which came from the table of the man of wealth; and even the dogs came and put their tongues on his wounds. | And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores. |
| Luke 16:22 | "But in course of time the beggar died; and he was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and had a funeral. | And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth. | And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried: |
| Luke 16:23 | And in Hades, being in torment, he looked and saw Abraham in the far distance, and Lazarus resting in his arms. | And in hell, being in great pain, lifting up his eyes he saw Abraham, far away, and Lazarus on his breast. | And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. |
| Luke 16:24 | So he cried aloud, and said, "`Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.' | And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame. | 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. |
| Luke 16:25 | "`Remember, my child,' said Abraham, `that you had all your good things during your lifetime, and that Lazarus in like manner had his bad things. But, now and here, he is receiving consolation and you are in agony. | But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain. | But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy life-time receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. |
| Luke 16:26 | And, besides all this, a vast chasm is immovably fixed between us and you, put there in order that those who desire to cross from this side to you may not be able, nor any be able to cross over from your side to us.' | And in addition, there is a deep division fixed between us and you, so that those who might go from here to you are not able to do so, and no one may come from you to us. | And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. |
| Luke 16:27 | "`I entreat you then, father,' said he, `to send him to my father's house. | And he said, Father, it is my request that you will send him to my father's house; | Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house: |
