The Gospel of Luke

6 He said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' And he said to him, "Take your receipt, and sit down quickly, and write, 'Fifty.'"

9 И Я говорю вам: приобретайте себе друзей богатством неправедным, чтобы они, когда обнищаете, приняли вас в вечные обители.

10 Верный в малом и во многом верен, а неверный в малом неверен и во многом.

11 Итак, если вы в неправедном богатстве не были верны, кто поверит вам истинное?

20 And there was also a certain beggar, Lazarus by name, who lay at his gate covered with scabs

21 And he desired to eat the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table, and the dogs came and licked his scabs.

22 And the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died, and he was buried.

23 And in hell, being in torments, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom

24 And he cried out, and said, 'Father Abraham! have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the end of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.

25 But Abraham said, 'Child! remember that you have already received your good in your life, and Lazarus has received your evil; but now he is comforted here, and you suffer;
