   in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.   
      
   22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and   
   put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:   
      
   23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be   
   merry:   
      
   24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is   
   found. And they began to be merry.   
      
   25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to   
   the house, he heard musick and dancing.   
      
   26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.   
      
   27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed   
   the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.   
      
   28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out,   
   and intreated him.   
      
   29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve   
   thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou   
   never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:   
      
   30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living   
   with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.   
      
   31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have   
   is thine.   
      
   32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy   
   brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.   
      
   Luke Chapter 16   
      
   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.
