¹He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!

KJVThen^G1161 said he^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 the disciples^G3101, It is^G2076^(G5748) impossible^G418 but^G3361 that offences^G4625 will come^G2064^(G5629): but^G1161 woe^G3759 unto him, through^G1223 whom^G3739 they come^G2064^(G5736)!

² It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

KJVIt were better^G3081^(G5719) for him^G846 that^G1487 a millstone^G3458^G3684 were hanged^G4029^(G5736) about^G4012 his^G846 neck^G5137, and^G2532 he cast^G4496^(G5769) into^G1519 the sea^G2281, than^G2228 that^G2443 he should offend^G4624^(G5661) one^G1520 of these^G5130 little ones^G3398.

³ Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.

KJVTake heed^G4337^(G5720) to yourselves^G1438: If^G1161^G1437 thy^G4675 brother^G80 trespass^G264^(G5632) against^G1519 thee^G4571, rebuke^G2008^(G5657) him^G846; and^G2532 if^G1437 he repent^G3340^(G5661), forgive^G863^(G5628) him^G846.

⁴ If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 he trespass^G264^(G5632) against^G1519 thee^G4571 seven times^G2034 in a day^G2250, and^G2532 seven times^G2034 in a day^G2250 turn again^G1994^(G5661) to^G1909 thee^G4571, saying^G3004^(G5723), I repent^G3340^(G5719); thou shalt forgive^G863^(G5692) him^G846.

⁵ The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

KJVAnd^G2532 the apostles^G652 said^G2036^(G5627) unto the Lord^G2962, Increase^G4369^(G5628) our^G2254 faith^G4102.

⁶ The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

KJVAnd^G1161 the Lord^G2962 said^G2036^(G5627), If^G1487 ye had^G2192^(G5707) faith^G4102 as^G5613 a grain^G2848 of mustard seed^G4615, ye might^G302 say^G3004^(G5707) unto this^G5026 sycamine^G4807 tree, Be thou plucked up by the root^G1610^(G5682), and^G2532 be thou planted^G5452^(G5682) in^G1722 the sea^G2281; and^G2532 it should^G302 obey^G5219^(G5656) you^G5213.

⁷ But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table’?

KJVBut^G1161 which^G5101 of^G1537 you^G5216, having^G2192^(G5723) a servant^G1401 plowing^G722^(G5723) or^G2228 feeding cattle^G4165^(G5723), will say^G2046^(G5692) unto him^G3739 by and by^G2112, when he is come^G1525^(G5631) from^G1537 the field^G68, Go^G3928^(G5631) and sit down to meat^G377^(G5669)?

⁸ Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?

KJVAnd^G235 will not^G3780 rather say^G2046^(G5692) unto him^G846, Make ready^G2090^(G5657) wherewith^G5101 I may sup^G1172^(G5661), and^G2532 gird thyself^G4024^(G5671), and serve^G1247^(G5720) me^G3427, till^G2193 I have eaten^G5315^(G5632) and^G2532 drunken^G4095^(G5632); and^G2532 afterward^G3326^G5023 thou^G4771 shalt eat^G5315^(G5695) and^G2532 drink^G4095^(G5695)?

⁹ Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

KJV^G3361 Doth he^G2192^(G5719) thank^G5485 that^G1565 servant^G1401 because^G3754 he did^G4160^(G5656) the things that were commanded^G1299^(G5685) him^G846? I trow^G1380^(G5719) not^G3756.

¹⁰ Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”

KJVSo^G3779 likewise^G2532 ye^G5210, when^G3752 ye shall have done^G4160^(G5661) all^G3956 those things which are commanded^G1299^(G5685) you^G5213, say^G3004^(G5720),^G3754 We are^G2070^(G5748) unprofitable^G888 servants^G1401:^G3754 we have done^G4160^(G5658) that which^G3739 was our duty^G3784^(G5707) to do^G4160^(G5758).

¹¹ As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), as^G1722 he^G846 went^G4198^(G5738) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, that^G2532 he^G846 passed^G1330^(G5711) through^G1223 the midst^G3319 of Samaria^G4540 and^G2532 Galilee^G1056.

¹² As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.

KJVAnd^G2532 as he^G846 entered^G1525^(G5740) into^G1519 a certain^G5100 village^G2968, there met^G528^(G5656) him^G846 ten^G1176 men^G435 that were lepers^G3015, which^G3739 stood^G2476^(G5627) afar off^G4207:

¹³ They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

KJVAnd^G2532 they^G846 lifted up^G142^(G5656) their voices^G5456, and said^G3004^(G5723), Jesus^G2424, Master^G1988, have mercy^G1653^(G5657) on us^G2248.

¹⁴ When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he saw^G1492^(G5631) them, he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Go^G4198^(G5679) shew^G1925^(G5657) yourselves^G1438 unto the priests^G2409. And^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that, as they^G846 went^G5217^(G5721)^G1722, they were cleansed^G2511^(G5681).

¹⁵ One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.

KJVAnd^G1161 one^G1520 of^G1537 them^G846, when he saw^G1492^(G5631) that^G3754 he was healed^G2390^(G5681), turned back^G5290^(G5656), and with^G3326 a loud^G3173 voice^G5456 glorified^G1392^(G5723) God^G2316,

¹⁶ He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

KJVAnd^G2532 fell down^G4098^(G5627) on^G1909 his face^G4383 at^G3844 his^G846 feet^G4228, giving^G2168 him^G846 thanks^G2168^(G5723): and^G2532 he^G846 was^G2258^(G5713) a Samaritan^G4541.

¹⁷ Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424 answering^G611^(G5679) said^G2036^(G5627), Were there^G2511 not^G3780 ten^G1176 cleansed^G2511^(G5681)? but^G1161 where^G4226 are the nine^G1767?

¹⁸ Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”

KJVThere are^G2147 not^G3756 found^G2147^(G5681) that returned^G5290^(G5660) to give^G1325^(G5629) glory^G1391 to God^G2316, save^G1508 this^G3778 stranger^G241.

¹⁹ Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Arise^G450^(G5631), go thy way^G4198^(G5737): thy^G4675 faith^G4102 hath made^G4982 thee^G4571 whole^G4982^(G5758).

²⁰ Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;

KJVAnd^G1161 when he was demanded^G1905^(G5685) of^G5259 the Pharisees^G5330, when^G4219 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 should come^G2064^(G5736), he answered^G611^(G5662) them^G846 and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), The kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 cometh^G2064^(G5736) not^G3756 with^G3326 observation^G3907:

²¹ neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”

KJVNeither^G3761 shall they say^G2046^(G5692), Lo^G2400^(G5628) here^G5602! or^G2228, lo^G2400^(G5628) there^G1563! for^G1063, behold^G2400^(G5628), the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 is^G2076^(G5748) within^G1787 you^G5216.

²² He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 the disciples^G3101, The days^G2250 will come^G2064^(G5695), when^G3753 ye shall desire^G1937^(G5692) to see^G1492^(G5629) one^G3391 of the days^G2250 of the Son^G5207 of man^G444, and^G2532 ye shall^G3700 not^G3756 see^G3700^(G5695) it.

²³ They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,

KJVAnd^G2532 they shall say^G2046^(G5692) to you^G5213, See^G2400^(G5628) here^G5602; or^G2228, see^G2400^(G5628) there^G1563: go^G565 not^G3361 after^G565^(G5632) them, nor^G3366 follow^G1377^(G5661) them.

²⁴ for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.

KJVFor^G1063 as^G5618 the lightning^G796, that lighteneth^G797^(G5723) out of^G1537 the one part under^G5259 heaven^G3772, shineth^G2989^(G5719) unto^G1519 the other part under^G5259 heaven^G3772; so^G3779 shall also^G2532 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 be^G2071^(G5704) in^G1722 his^G846 day^G2250.

²⁵ But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

KJVBut^G1161 first^G4412 must^G1163^(G5748) he^G846 suffer^G3958^(G5629) many things^G4183, and^G2532 be rejected^G593^(G5683) of^G575 this^G5026 generation^G1074.

²⁶ As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.

KJVAnd^G2532 as^G2531 it was^G1096^(G5633) in^G1722 the days^G2250 of Noe^G3575, so^G3779 shall it be^G2071^(G5704) also^G2532 in^G1722 the days^G2250 of the Son^G5207 of man^G444.

²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

KJVThey did eat^G2068^(G5707), they drank^G4095^(G5707), they married wives^G1060^(G5707), they were given in marriage^G1547^(G5712), until^G891 the day^G2250 that^G3739 Noe^G3575 entered^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 the ark^G2787, and^G2532 the flood^G2627 came^G2064^(G5627), and^G2532 destroyed^G622^(G5656) them all^G537.

²⁸ Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

KJVLikewise^G3668 also^G2532 as^G5613 it was^G1096^(G5633) in^G1722 the days^G2250 of Lot^G3091; they did eat^G2068^(G5707), they drank^G4095^(G5707), they bought^G59^(G5707), they sold^G4453^(G5707), they planted^G5452^(G5707), they builded^G3618^(G5707);

²⁹ but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all.

KJVBut^G3739^G1161 the same day^G2250 that Lot^G3091 went^G1831^(G5627) out of^G575 Sodom^G4670 it rained^G1026^(G5656) fire^G4442 and^G2532 brimstone^G2303 from^G575 heaven^G3772, and^G2532 destroyed^G622^(G5656) them all^G537.

³⁰ It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

KJVEven^G2596 thus^G5024 shall it be^G2071^(G5704) in the day^G3739^G2250 when the Son^G5207 of man^G444 is revealed^G601^(G5743).

³¹ In that day, he who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.

KJVIn^G1722 that^G1565 day^G2250, he which^G3739 shall be^G2071^(G5704) upon^G1909 the housetop^G1430, and^G2532 his^G846 stuff^G4632 in^G1722 the house^G3614, let^G2597 him not^G3361 come down^G2597^(G5628) to take^G142 it^G846 away^G142^(G5658): and^G2532 he that is in^G1722 the field^G68, let him^G1994 likewise^G3668 not^G3361 return^G1994^(G5657) back^G1519^G3694.

³² Remember Lot’s wife!

KJVRemember^G3421^(G5720) Lot's^G3091 wife^G1135.

³³ Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.

KJVWhosoever^G3739^G1437 shall seek^G2212^(G5661) to save^G4982^(G5658) his^G846 life^G5590 shall lose^G622^(G5692) it^G846; and^G2532 whosoever^G3739^G1437 shall lose^G622^(G5661) his^G846 life shall preserve^G2225^(G5692) it^G846.

³⁴ I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left.

KJVI tell^G3004^(G5719) you^G5213, in that^G5026 night^G3571 there shall be^G2071^(G5704) two^G1417 men in^G1909 one^G3391 bed^G2825; the one^G1520 shall be taken^G3880^(G5701), and^G2532 the other^G2087 shall be left^G863^(G5701).

³⁵ There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.”

KJVTwo^G1417 women shall be^G2071^(G5704) grinding^G229^(G5723) together^G846^G1909; the one^G3391 shall be taken^G3880^(G5701), and^G2532 the other^G2087 left^G863^(G5701).

³⁶

KJVTwo^G1417 men shall be^G2071^(G5704) in^G1722 the field^G68; the one^G1520 shall be taken^G3880^(G5701), and^G2532 the other^G2087 left^G863^(G5701).

³⁷ They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.”

KJVAnd^G2532 they answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Where^G4226, Lord^G2962? And^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Wheresoever^G3699 the body^G4983 is, thither^G1563 will^G4863 the eagles^G105 be gathered together^G4863^(G5701).

WEB·Luke 16

¹He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G3004^(G5707) also^G2532 unto^G4314 his^G846 disciples^G3101, There was^G2258^(G5713) a certain^G5100 rich^G4145 man^G444, which^G3739 had^G2192^(G5707) a steward^G3623; and^G2532 the same^G3778 was accused^G1225^(G5681) unto him^G846 that^G5613 he had wasted^G1287^(G5723) his^G846 goods^G5224^(G5723).

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.’

KJVAnd^G2532 he called^G5455^(G5660) him^G846, and said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, How^G5101 is it that I hear^G191^(G5719) this^G5124 of^G4012 thee^G4675? give^G591^(G5628) an account^G3056 of thy^G4675 stewardship^G3622; for^G1063 thou mayest be^G1410^(G5695) no^G3756 longer^G2089 steward^G3621^(G5721).

³ “The manager 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.

KJVThen^G1161 the steward^G3623 said^G2036^(G5627) within^G1722 himself^G1438, What^G5101 shall I do^G4160^(G5661)? for^G3754 my^G3450 lord^G2962 taketh away^G851^(G5731) from^G575 me^G1700 the stewardship^G3622: I cannot^G3756^G2480^(G5719) dig^G4626^(G5721); to beg^G1871^(G5721) I am ashamed^G153^(G5727).

⁴ I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’

KJVI am resolved^G1097^(G5627) what^G5101 to do^G4160^(G5692), that^G2443, when^G3752 I am put out^G3179^(G5686) of the stewardship^G3622, they may receive^G1209^(G5667) me^G3165 into^G1519 their^G846 houses^G3624.

⁵ Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’

KJVSo^G2532 he called^G4341^(G5666) every^G1538 one^G1520 of his^G1438 lord's^G2962 debtors^G5533 unto him, and said^G3004^(G5707) unto the first^G4413, How much^G4214 owest thou^G3784^(G5719) unto my^G3450 lord^G2962?

⁶ He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627), An hundred^G1540 measures^G943 of oil^G1637. And^G2532 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Take^G1209^(G5663) thy^G4675 bill^G1121, and^G2532 sit down^G2523^(G5660) quickly^G5030, and write^G1125^(G5657) fifty^G4004.

⁷ Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’

KJVThen^G1899 said he^G2036^(G5627) to another^G2087, And^G1161 how much^G4214 owest^G3784^(G5719) thou^G4771? And^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627), An hundred^G1540 measures^G2884 of wheat^G4621. And^G2532 he said^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Take^G1209^(G5663) thy^G4675 bill^G1121, and^G2532 write^G1125^(G5657) fourscore^G3589.

⁸ “His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.

KJVAnd^G2532 the lord^G2962 commended^G1867^(G5656) the unjust^G93 steward^G3623, because^G3754 he had done^G4160^(G5656) wisely^G5430: for^G3754 the children^G5207 of this^G5127 world^G165 are^G1526^(G5748) in^G1519 their^G1438 generation^G1074 wiser^G5429 than^G5228 the children^G5207 of light^G5457.

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.

KJVAnd I^G2504 say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Make^G4160^(G5657) to yourselves^G1438 friends^G5384 of^G1537 the mammon^G3126 of unrighteousness^G93; that^G2443, when^G3752 ye fail^G1587^(G5632), they may receive^G1209^(G5667) you^G5209 into^G1519 everlasting^G166 habitations^G4633.

¹⁰ He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

KJVHe that is faithful^G4103 in^G1722 that which is least^G1646 is^G2076^(G5748) faithful^G4103 also^G2532 in^G1722 much^G4183: and^G2532 he that is unjust^G94 in^G1722 the least^G1646 is^G2076^(G5748) unjust^G94 also^G2532 in^G1722 much^G4183.

¹¹ If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

KJVIf^G1487 therefore^G3767 ye have^G1096 not^G3756 been^G1096^(G5633) faithful^G4103 in^G1722 the unrighteous^G94 mammon^G3126, who^G5101 will commit^G4100 to your^G5213 trust^G4100^(G5692) the true^G228 riches?

¹² If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1487 ye have^G1096 not^G3756 been^G1096^(G5633) faithful^G4103 in^G1722 that which is another man's^G245, who^G5101 shall give^G1325^(G5692) you^G5213 that which is your own^G5212?

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.”

KJVNo^G3762 servant^G3610 can^G1410^(G5736) serve^G1398^(G5721) two^G1417 masters^G2962: for^G1063 either^G2228 he will hate^G3404^(G5692) the one^G1520, and^G2532 love^G25^(G5692) the other^G2087; or else^G2228 he will hold^G472^(G5695) to the one^G1520, and^G2532 despise^G2706^(G5692) the other^G2087. Ye cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) serve^G1398^(G5721) God^G2316 and^G2532 mammon^G3126.

¹⁴ The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

KJVAnd^G1161 the Pharisees^G5330 also^G2532, who were^G5225^(G5723) covetous^G5366, heard^G191^(G5707) all^G3956 these things^G5023: and^G2532 they derided^G1592^(G5707) him^G846.

¹⁵ He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Ye^G5210 are^G2075^(G5748) they which justify^G1344^(G5723) yourselves^G1438 before^G1799 men^G444; but^G1161 God^G2316 knoweth^G1097^(G5719) your^G5216 hearts^G2588: for^G3754 that which is highly esteemed^G5308 among^G1722 men^G444 is^G2076^(G5748) abomination^G946 in the sight^G1799 of God^G2316.

¹⁶ “The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

KJVThe law^G3551 and^G2532 the prophets^G4396 were until^G2193 John^G2491: since^G575 that time^G5119 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 is preached^G2097^(G5743), and^G2532 every man^G3956 presseth^G971^(G5731) into^G1519 it^G846.

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.

KJVAnd^G1161 it is^G2076^(G5748) easier^G2123 for heaven^G3772 and^G2532 earth^G1093 to pass^G3928^(G5629), than^G2228 one^G3391 tittle^G2762 of the law^G3551 to fail^G4098^(G5629).

¹⁸ “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.

KJVWhosoever^G3956 putteth away^G630^(G5723) his^G846 wife^G1135, and^G2532 marrieth^G1060^(G5723) another^G2087, committeth adultery^G3431^(G5719): and^G2532 whosoever^G3956 marrieth^G1060^(G5723) her that is put away^G630^(G5772) from^G575 her husband^G435 committeth adultery^G3431^(G5719).

¹⁹ “Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.

KJV^G1161 There was^G2258^(G5713) a certain^G5100 rich^G4145 man^G444, which^G2532 was clothed^G1737^(G5710) in purple^G4209 and^G2532 fine linen^G1040, and fared^G2165^(G5746) sumptuously^G2988 every^G2596 day^G2250:

²⁰ A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,

KJVAnd^G1161 there was^G2258^(G5713) a certain^G5100 beggar^G4434 named^G3686 Lazarus^G2976, which^G3739 was laid^G906^(G5718) at^G4314 his^G846 gate^G4440, full of sores^G1669^(G5772),

²¹ and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

KJVAnd^G2532 desiring^G1937^(G5723) to be fed^G5526^(G5683) with^G575 the crumbs^G5589 which^G3588 fell^G4098^(G5723) from^G575 the rich man's^G4145 table^G5132: moreover^G235^G2532 the dogs^G2965 came^G2064^(G5740) and licked^G621^(G5707) his^G846 sores^G1668.

²² The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that the beggar^G4434 died^G599^(G5629), and^G2532 was carried^G667^(G5683) by^G5259 the angels^G32 into^G1519 Abraham's^G11 bosom^G2859: the rich man^G4145 also^G1161^G2532 died^G599^(G5627), and^G2532 was buried^G2290^(G5648);

²³ In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

KJVAnd^G2532 in^G1722 hell^G86 he lift up^G1869^(G5660) his^G846 eyes^G3788, being^G5225^(G5723) in^G1722 torments^G931, and seeth^G3708^(G5719) Abraham^G11 afar^G3113 off^G575, and^G2532 Lazarus^G2976 in^G1722 his^G846 bosom^G2859.

²⁴ 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 in anguish in this flame.’

KJVAnd^G2532^G846 he cried^G5455^(G5660) and said^G2036^(G5627), Father^G3962 Abraham^G11, have mercy^G1653^(G5657) on me^G3165, and^G2532 send^G3992^(G5657) Lazarus^G2976, that^G2443 he may dip^G911^(G5661) the tip^G206 of his^G846 finger^G1147 in water^G5204, and^G2532 cool^G2711^(G5661) my^G3450 tongue^G1100; for^G3754 I am tormented^G3600^(G5743) in^G1722 this^G5026 flame^G5395.

²⁵ “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.

KJVBut^G1161 Abraham^G11 said^G2036^(G5627), Son^G5043, remember^G3415^(G5682) that^G3754 thou^G4771 in^G1722 thy^G4675 lifetime^G2222 receivedst^G618^(G5627) thy^G4675 good things^G18, and^G2532 likewise^G3668 Lazarus^G2976 evil things^G2556: but^G1161 now^G3568^G3592 he is comforted^G3870^(G5743), and^G1161 thou^G4771 art tormented^G3600^(G5743).

²⁶ Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’

KJVAnd^G2532 beside^G1909 all^G3956 this^G5125, between^G3342 us^G2257 and^G2532 you^G5216 there is^G4741 a great^G3173 gulf^G5490 fixed^G4741^(G5769): so that^G3704 they which would^G2309^(G5723) pass^G1224^(G5629) from hence^G1782 to^G4314 you^G5209 cannot^G3361^G1410^(G5741); neither^G3366 can they pass^G1276^(G5725) to^G4314 us^G2248, that would come from thence^G1564.

²⁷ “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—

KJVThen^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627), I pray^G2065^(G5719) thee^G4571 therefore^G3767, father^G3962, that^G2443 thou wouldest send^G3992^(G5661) him^G846 to^G1519 my^G3450 father's^G3962 house^G3624:

²⁸ for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’

KJVFor^G1063 I have^G2192^(G5719) five^G4002 brethren^G80; that^G3704 he may testify^G1263^(G5741) unto them^G846, lest^G3363 they^G846 also^G2532 come^G2064^(G5632) into^G1519 this^G5126 place^G5117 of torment^G931.

²⁹ “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’

KJVAbraham^G11 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, They have^G2192^(G5719) Moses^G3475 and^G2532 the prophets^G4396; let them hear^G191^(G5657) them^G846.

³⁰ “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627), Nay^G3780, father^G3962 Abraham^G11: but^G235 if^G1437 one^G5100 went^G4198^(G5680) unto^G4314 them^G846 from^G575 the dead^G3498, they will repent^G3340^(G5692).

³¹ “He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, If^G1487 they hear^G191^(G5719) not^G3756 Moses^G3475 and^G2532 the prophets^G4396, neither^G3761 will they be persuaded^G3982^(G5701), though^G1437 one^G5100 rose^G450^(G5632) from^G1537 the dead^G3498.
