1.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.
2.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.
3.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.
4.I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5.So he called every one of his lord’s debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
6.And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7.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.
8.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.
9.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.
10.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.
11.If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12.And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
13.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.
14.And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15.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.
16.The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
17.And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18.Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
19.There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20.And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21.And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22.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;
23.And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24.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.
25.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.
26.And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27.Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:
28.For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29.Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30.And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31.And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Chapter 16 Mentions one thing in chapter 15 about us being stewards of the things here on earth. If you are faithful you will be rewarded a lot of the royalties in heaven that are due you once you get there.
Poem for Luke Chapter 16 Formation by Poems for the gospel of Luke
The easy way to win a fight
Is well before folks scratch and bite;
Before they form up in their ranks
To take us on, not give us thanks –
Sun Tzu said find a way to do
That task – as leader that means you –
Avoid a fight, do all you can
To keep the peace within your land.
For you, as for the other team,
There’s strength when formlessness is seen;
So learn to look with care beneath
Such formlessness – see where they’re weak.
Once they’re formed up with rank-and-file
You may be doomed, so pause a while,
And pay attention – subtlety
Is where to look most carefully.
For in the hidden ways of man,
A subtle way quite often can
Be seen – which they quite often miss;
Base your attack of them on this.
For often people don’t intend
To do you harm, to you extend
A problem – take your chips away,
But in the end, they’ll make you pay –
What they think is now owing them;
Then they attack, so comprehend
Within their formlessness the weak
Link in their team – with clearness seek –
Where you can strike before they fight,
And stop it cold, set things aright;
For if they can provoke your ire,
You may just lose what they require.
Sometimes a bully must be stopped;
The greedy’s grasping hand be blocked;
And that’s done best before it starts –
Watch close and see what sight imparts.
Prayer for Luke Chapter 16
Heavenly Father, keep me from ungodly and unprincipled thinking. Keep the eyes of my heart looking to Jesus for my provision and protection and prevent me I pray from looking to my own bank-balance or any other source of supply for my security. May I have an undivided heart that looks to Jesus the Author and Finisher of my faith.. and in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
