La Nuova Diodati
16 Or egli disse ancora ai suoi discepoli: «Vi era un uomo ricco che aveva un fattore; e questi fu accusato davanti a lui di dissipare i suoi beni.
2 Allora egli lo chiamò e gli disse: "Che cosa è questo che sento dire di te? Rendi ragione della tua amministrazione, perché tu non puoi piú essere mio fattore".
3 E il fattore disse fra se stesso: "Che farò ora, dato che il mio padrone mi toglie l'amministrazione? A zappare non son capace, e a mendicare mi vergogno.
4 Io so cosa fare affinché, quando io sarò rimosso dall'amministrazione, mi accolgano nelle loro case
5 Chiamati dunque ad uno ad uno i debitori del suo padrone, disse al primo: "Quanto devi al mio padrone?
6 Quello rispose: "Cento bati di olio". Allora egli gli disse: "Prendi la tua ricevuta, siedi e scrivi subito cinquanta".
7 Poi disse ad un altro: "e tu quanto devi". Ed egli disse: "Cento cori di grano". Allora egli gli disse: "Prendi la tua ricevuta e scrivi ottanta".
8 Il padrone lodò il fattore disonesto, perché aveva agito con avvedutezza, poiché i figli di questo mondo, nella loro generazione, sono piú avveduti dei figli della luce.
9 Or io vi dico: Fatevi degli amici con le ricchezze ingiuste perché, quando esse verranno a mancare, vi ricevano nelle dimore eterne.
10 Chi è fedele nel poco, è fedele anche nel molto; e chi è ingiusto nel poco, è ingiusto anche nel molto.
11 Se dunque voi non siete stati fedeli nelle ricchezze ingiuste, chi vi affiderà le vere?
12 E se non siete stati fedeli nelle ricchezze altrui, chi vi darà le vostre?
13 Nessun servo può servire a due padroni; perché o odierà l'uno e amerà l'altro, o si affezionerà all'uno e disprezzerà l'altro; voi non potete servire a Dio e a mammona».
14 Or i farisei, che erano amanti del denaro, udivano tutte queste cose e si beffavano di lui.
15 Ed egli disse loro: «Voi siete quelli che giustificate voi stessi davanti agli uomini, ma Dio conosce i vostri cuori; poiché ciò che è grandemente stimato tra gli uomini è cosa abominevole davanti a Dio.
16 La legge e i profeti arrivano fino a Giovanni; da allora in poi il regno di Dio è annunziato e ognuno si sforza di entrarvi.
17 Ma è piú facile che passino il cielo e la terra, piuttosto che cada un sol apice della legge.
18 Chiunque manda via la propria moglie e ne sposa un'altra, commette adulterio; e chiunque sposa una donna mandata via dal marito, commette adulterio».
19 «Or vi era un uomo ricco, che si vestiva di porpora e bisso, e ogni giorno se la godeva splendidamente.
20 Vi era anche un mendicante chiamato Lazzaro, che giaceva alla sua porta tutto coperto di piaghe ulcerose
21 e desiderava saziarsi delle briciole che cadevano dalla tavola del ricco, e perfino i cani venivano a leccare le sue piaghe.
22 Or avvenne che il mendicante morí e fu portato dagli angeli nel seno di Abrahamo; morí anche il ricco e fu sepolto.
23 E, essendo tra i tormenti nell'inferno, alzò gli occhi e vide da lontano Abrahamo e Lazzaro nel suo seno.
24 Allora, gridando, disse: "Padre Abrahamo, abbi pietà di me, e manda Lazzaro a intingere nell'acqua la punta del dito per rinfrescarmi la lingua, perché soffro terribilmente in questa fiamma
25 Ma Abrahamo disse: "Figlio, ricordati che tu hai ricevuto i tuoi beni durante la tua vita e Lazzaro similmente i mali; ora invece egli è consolato e tu soffri.
26 Oltre a tutto ciò, fra noi e voi è posto un grande baratro, in modo tale che coloro che vorrebbero da qui passare a voi non possono; cosí pure nessuno può passare di là a noi
27 Ma quello disse: "Ti prego dunque, o padre, di mandarlo a casa di mio padre,
28 perché io ho cinque fratelli, affinché li avverta severamente, e cosí non vengano anch'essi in questo luogo di tormento.
29 Abrahamo rispose: "hanno Mosé e i profeti, ascoltino quelli".
30 Quello disse: "No, padre Abrahamo, ma se qualcuno dai morti andrà da loro, si ravvederanno".
31 Allora egli gli disse: "se non ascoltano Mosé e i profeti, non crederanno neppure se uno risuscitasse dai morti"».

The Parable of the Shrewd Manager
16 Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.(A) 2 So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’
3 “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg— 4 I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’
5 “So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 “‘Nine hundred gallons[a] of olive oil,’ he replied.
“The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’
7 “Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’
“‘A thousand bushels[b] of wheat,’ he replied.
“He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’
8 “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world(B) are more shrewd(C) in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.(D) 9 I tell you, use worldly wealth(E) to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.(F)
10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much,(G) 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,(H) who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?
13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”(I)
14 The Pharisees, who loved money,(J) heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.(K) 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves(L) in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts.(M) What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.
Additional Teachings
16 “The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John.(N) Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached,(O) and everyone is forcing their way into it. 17 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.(P)
18 “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(Q)
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.(R) 20 At his gate was laid a beggar(S) named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table.(T) 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,(U) 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.’(V)
25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things,(W) but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.(X) 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them,(Y) so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses(Z) and the Prophets;(AA) let them listen to them.’
30 “‘No, father Abraham,’(AB) he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
31 “He 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.’”

King James Version
16 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.
