\subsubsection{The Parable of the Clever Steward}
|
|
\VS{1} So he said to his disciples: A certain man was rich who was having [a] steward,
|
|
and this [one] was slandered to him as squandering his possessions.
|
|
\VS{2} And
|
|
having called him he said: What is this I hear concerning you? Render
|
|
account [of your] stewardship. For you are not able to be stewarding further.
|
|
\VS{3} But the steward said in himself: What will I do? For I have not the strength
|
|
to dig ditches, [and] I am ashamed to beg.
|
|
\VS{4} I know what I will do, in order
|
|
that when I am removed from the stewardship they receive me into their own
|
|
houses.
|
|
\VS{5} And when he called each one of his own Lord's debtors he was
|
|
saying to the first: How much do you owe my Lord?
|
|
\VS{6} But he said: [a]
|
|
hundred baths\footnote{1 bath = 8\EnDash{}9 gallons} or oil. So he said to him: Take
|
|
the [promissory] note and having sat, quickly write fifty.
|
|
\VS{7} Then he said to the
|
|
other: So how much do you owe? And he said: One hundred cors\footnote{1 cor
|
|
= 10\EnDash{}12 bushels} of wheat. He says to him: Take your [promissory] note and write eighty.
|
|
\VS{8} And the Lord praised the servant of injustice, for he did shrewdly,
|
|
for the sons of this age are more shrewd than the sons of light in their own
|
|
generation.
|
|
\VS{9} And I say to you, With their own make friends from the
|
|
mammon of injustice, in order that, when you are omitted, they receive you
|
|
into eternal shelter.
|
|
|
|
\VS{10} The [one] trustworthy in little is also trustworthy
|
|
in much, and the [one] unjust in little is also unjust in much.
|
|
\VS{11} If therefore you do not become trustworthy in unjust mammon, who will entrust
|
|
to you the true?
|
|
\VS{12} And if in that belonging to another you do not
|
|
become trustworthy, who will give to you your own?
|
|
\VS{13} No house-domestic\footnote{OIKETHS: the root in this word is ``house'; neither the root for ``servant' nor ``slave'' is present in this word. The intent is a 'house-domestic', as in ``house-servant' or ``house-slave''} is able to be slaving to two lords. Either the one he will hate and the other will he agape-love, or to the one will he cling and the other will he
|
|
despise. You cannot be slaving to God and mammon\footnote{MAMMON: the Syrian god of riches}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{More Warnings about the Pharisees}
|
|
\VS{14} Now the Pharisees
|
|
being philia-lovers of money heard all these [things], and were ridiculing him.
|
|
\VS{15} And he said to them: You are those justifying yourselves before men,
|
|
but God knows your hearts, for the [thing] exalted\footnote{or ``proud'',
|
|
``haughty''} among men is [an] abomination before God.
|
|
|
|
\VS{16} The law and the
|
|
prophets [are] until John, from then the kingdom of God is proclaimed and
|
|
all forcibly enter it.
|
|
\VS{17} But it is easier that heaven and the earth pass
|
|
away than for one cross-of-a-``t'' to fall from the law.
|
|
|
|
\VS{18} For everyone
|
|
putting\footnote{or ``sending''} away his woman and marrying another commits
|
|
adultery, and the [one] having been sent away who marries commits adultery.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Rich Man and Lazarus}
|
|
\VS{19} But a certain man was rich, and he had put on purple garments and
|
|
fine linen enjoying himself each day splendidly.
|
|
\VS{20} But a certain poor
|
|
[man] by name Lazarus had been cast to his gate being covered with ulcerous
|
|
sores.
|
|
\VS{21} And he was lusting to be filled from that falling from the
|
|
table of the rich [one]; but even the dogs coming were licking his ulcerous
|
|
sores.
|
|
|
|
\VS{22} Now it came to pass the poor [man] died and was gathered by the
|
|
angels to Abraham's lap\footnote{or 'bosom'}; but the rich [man] also died and was buried.
|
|
\VS{23} And in Hades\fnHades{} lifting up his eyes, being in torment, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus in his lap\footnote{or 'bosom'},
|
|
\VS{24} and having called out he said: Father
|
|
Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus in order that he dip the tip of
|
|
his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I suffer torment in this flame.
|
|
\VS{25} But Abraham said: Child, remember that you received your good
|
|
[things] in your zoe-life\fnZoe{}, and likewise Lazarus the evil. But now he is encouraged, and you suffer torment.
|
|
\VS{26} And in all those [things] between you [people]\fnYouPlural{} and us [a] great chasm is fixed, so that those wishing to go down from here to you be not
|
|
able, nor from there to us may not cross over.
|
|
\VS{27} But he said: I ask\fnErotao{} you therefore, Father,
|
|
in order that you may sent him to my fathers house,
|
|
\VS{28} for I have five brothers, that he may warn them, that they also not
|
|
come to this place of torment.
|
|
\VS{29} But Abraham says: They have Moses and
|
|
the prophets, let\fnImperative{} him hear from them.
|
|
\VS{30} But he said: No, father Abraham, but if someone proceed from [the] dead to them:
|
|
they would repent.
|
|
\VS{31} But he said to them: If they do not hear Moses and the
|
|
prophets, neither would they be persuaded if someone rise from the dead.
