1 A učenicima svojim govoraše: Beše jedan čovek bogat koji imaše pristava, i toga oblagaše kod njega da mu prosipa imanje, 2 i dozvavši ga reče mu: Šta ovo ja čujem za tebe? Daj račun kako si kućio kuću: jer više ne možeš kućom upravljati. 3 A pristav od kuće reče u sebi: Šta ću činiti? Gospodar moj uzima od mene upravljanje kuće: kopati ne mogu, prositi stidim se. 4 Znam šta ću činiti da bi me primili u kuće svoje kad mi se oduzme upravljanje kuće. 5 I dozvavši redom dužnike gospodara svog reče prvom: Koliko si dužan gospodaru mom? 6 A on reče: Sto oka ulja. I reče mu: Uzmi pismo svoje i sedi brzo te napiši pedeset. 7 A potom reče drugom: A ti koliko si dužan? A on reče: Sto oka pšenice. I reče mu: Uzmi pismo svoje i napiši osamdeset. 8 I pohvali gospodar nevernog pristava što mudro učini; jer su sinovi ovog veka mudriji od sinova videla u svom naraštaju. 9 I ja vama kažem: načinite sebi prijatelje nepravednim bogatstvom, da bi vas kad osiromašite primili u večne kuće. 10 Koji je veran u malom i u mnogom je veran; a ko je neveran u malom i u mnogom je neveran. 11 Ako dakle u nepravednom bogatstvu verni ne biste, ko će vam u istinom verovati? 12 I ako u tuđem ne biste verni, ko će vam dati vaše? 13 Nikakav pak sluga ne može dva gospodara služiti; jer ili će na jednog mrzeti, a drugog ljubiti, ili će jednog voleti a za drugog ne mariti. Ne možete služiti Bogu i bogatstvu. 14 A ovo sve slušahu i fariseji, koji behu srebroljupci, i rugahu Mu se. 15 I reče im: Vi ste oni koji se gradite pravedni pred ljudima; ali Bog zna srca vaša; jer šta je u ljudi visoko ono je mrzost pred Bogom. 16 Zakon i proroci su do Jovana; odsele se carstvo Božije propoveda jevanđeljem, i svaki navaljuje da uđe u njega. 17 Lakše je, pak, nebu i zemlji proći negoli jednoj titli iz zakona propasti. 18 Svaki koji pušta ženu svoju i uzima drugu, preljubu čini; i koji se ženi puštenicom, preljubu čini. 19 Čovek neki, pak, beše bogat, koji se oblačaše u skerlet i u svilu, i življaše svaki dan gospodski i veseljaše se. 20 A beše jedan siromah, po imenu Lazar, koji ležaše pred njegovim vratima gnojav, 21 i željaše da se nasiti mrvama koje padahu s trpeze bogatog; još i psi dolažahu i lizahu gnoj njegov. 22 A kad umre siromah, odnesoše ga anđeli u naručje Avraamovo; a umre i bogati, i zakopaše ga. 23 I u paklu kad beše u mukama, podiže oči svoje i ugleda izdaleka Avraama i Lazara u naručju njegovom, 24 i povikavši reče: Oče Avraame! Smiluj se na me i pošlji mi Lazara neka umoči u vodu vrh od prsta svog, i da mi rashladi jezik; jer se mučim u ovom plamenu. 25 A Avraam reče: Sinko! Opomeni se da si ti primio dobra svoja u životu svom, i Lazar opet zla; a sad se on teši, a ti se mučiš. 26 I preko svega toga postavljena je među nama i vama velika propast, da ovi koji bi hteli odovud k vama preći, ne mogu, niti oni otuda k nama da prelaze. 27 Tada reče: Molim te dakle, oče, da ga pošalješ kući oca mog, 28 jer imam pet braće: neka im posvedoči da ne bi i oni došli na ovo mesto mučenja. 29 Reče mu Avraam: Oni imaju Mojsija i proroke, neka njih slušaju. 30 A on reče: Ne, oče Avraame! Nego ako im dođe ko iz mrtvih pokajaće se. 31 A Avraam reče mu: Ako ne slušaju Mojsija i proroke, da ko i iz mrtvih ustane neće verovati.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Our duty is to give to others the admonitions we have received ourselves. The recent lesson of the Gospel has admonished us to make friends of the mammon of iniquity, that they too may "receive" those who do so "into everlasting habitations." But who are they that shall have everlasting habitations, but the Saints of God?

… exhibits Abraham as having said to the rich man, with reference to all those who were still alive: "If they do not obey Moses and the prophets, neither, if any one were to rise from the dead and go to them, will they believe him."
These are little things, but "He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much." Nor can that possibly be void which proceedeth out of the mouth of Thy Truth.

And this I say, not that we may omit supplicating the saints, but to hinder our being careless, and entrusting our concerns to others only, while we fall back and slumber ourselves. For so when He said, "make to yourselves friends," he did not stop at this only, but He added, "of the unrighteous mammon;" that so again the good …

For how can a man become the one servant of two masters, when our Lord says in the Gospels, No man can serve two masters?
