| Luke 16:1 | He said also to his disciples, "There was a certain rich man, who had a manager. The same was accused to him of wasting his possessions. | 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. |
| Luke 16:2 | He called him, and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.' | 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. |
| Luke 16:3 | The steward said within himself, 'What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don't have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg. | "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. |
| Luke 16:4 | I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.' | 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. |
| Luke 16:5 | Calling each one of his lord's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe to my lord?' | "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? |
| Luke 16:6 | He said, 'A hundred batos of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' | "`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. |
| Luke 16:7 | Then said he to another, 'How much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred cors of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.' | "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. |
| Luke 16:8 | His lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely, for the sons of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the sons of the light. | "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. |
| Luke 16:9 | I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. | "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. |
| Luke 16:10 | He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is unrighteous in a very little is also unrighteous in much. | 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. |
| Luke 16:11 | If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? | 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? |
| Luke 16:12 | If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? | 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? |
| Luke 16:13 | No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren't able to serve God and mammon." | "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. |

| Luke 16:15 | He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts.

| Luke 16:16 | The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it. | 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. |
| Luke 16:17 | But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall. | 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. |
| Luke 16:18 | Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is put away from a husband commits adultery. | 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. |

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. |
| Luke 16:22 | It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom.
