(25)Now his elder son was in the field. And as he came, and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. (26)And calling to him one of the servants, he inquired what these things meant. (27)And he said to him: Thy brother is come; and thy father killed the fatted calf, because he received him back, safe and sound. (28)And he was angry, and would not go in; and his father came out, and entreated him. (29)And he answering said to his father: Lo, so many years do I serve thee, and never transgressed thy command; and to me thou never gayest a kid, that I might make merry with my friends. (30)But when this thy son came, who devoured thy living with harlots, thou didst kill for him the fatted calf. (31)And he said to him: Child, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. (32)It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad; because this thy brother was dead and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. XVI. AND he said also to the disciples: There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused to him as wasting his goods. (2)And having called him, he said to him: What is this that I hear of thee? Give account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward. (3)And the steward said within himself: What shall I do? for my master takes away from me the stewardship. I am not able to 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)And having called to him each one of his master's debtors, he said to the first: How much owest thou to my master? (6)And he said: A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. (7)Then he said to another: And how much owest thou? And he said: A hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and write fourscore. (8)And the master commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely; because the sons of this world are, in their generation, wiser than the sons of light. (9)And I say to you: Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it fails, they may receive you into the 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 were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches? (12)And if ye were not faithful in that which is another's, who will give to you your own? (13)No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye can not serve God and Mammon. (14)And the Pharisees also; who were covetous, heard all these things; and they derided him. (15)And he said to them: Ye are they who justify themselves before men; but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination before God.
