simcha: for this your brother was dead, and is alive
again; and was lost, and is found. 4941

And He said also to His talmidim, There was a
certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same
steward was accused of wasting his wealth.
2 And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear
this about you? Give an account of your stewardship; for
you may no longer be steward.
3 Then the steward said to himself, What shall I do? For
my master takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot
dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4 I know what to do, so that, when I am put out of the
stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 So he called every one of his master’s debtors to him,
and said to the first, How much do you owe my master?
6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to
him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 Then said he to another, And how much do you owe?
And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said
to him, Take your bill, and write eighty.
8 And the master commended the unjust steward, because
he had done wisely: for the children of the olam hazeh
are in their generation wiser than the children of
light. 4942
9 And I say to you, Make for yourselves chaverim of the
mammon of unrighteousness; that, when you fail, they
may receive you into everlasting dwellings. 4943
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 you have not been faithful in the
unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the
emet riches? 4944
12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is
another man’s, who shall give you that which is your
own?
13 No eved can serve two masters: for either he will hate
the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the
one, and despise the other. You cannot serve vuvh and
wealth.
14 And the Prushim also, who were covetous, heard all
these things: and they ridiculed Him.
15 And He said to them, You are they which justify
yourselves before men; but vuvh knows your levim: for
that which is highly esteemed among men is an
abomination in the sight of vuvh. 4945
16 The Torah and the neviim were concerning
Yochanan: 4946 since that time the malchut of vuvh is
proclaimed, and every man presses into it.
17 And it is easier for the shamayim and earth to pass,
than one letter of the Torah to fail.
18 Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another,
commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is
undivorced 4947 from her husband commits adultery.
19 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in
purple and fine linen, and fared very well every day: 4948
20 And there was a certain beggar named El-Azar, who
was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 Desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the
rich man’s shulchan: moreover the dogs came and licked
his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was

carried by the heavenly malachim into Avraham’s
Bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in Sheol he lifts up his eyes, being in torment, and
saw Avraham far off, and El-Azar in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Abba Avraham, have rachamim
on me, and send El-Azar, that he may dip the tip of his
finger in mayim, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented
in this flame.
25 But Avraham said, Son, remember that you in your
lifetime received your tov things, and likewise El-Azar
evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are
tormented.
26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a
great gulf fixed: so that those who would pass from here
to you cannot; neither can they pass to us that would
come from there. 4949
27 Then he said, I ask you therefore, abba Avraham that
you would send him to my abba’s bayit:
28 For I have five brothers; that he may testify to them,
lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Avraham said to him, They have Moshe Rabainu and
the neviim; let them hear them.
30 And he said, No, Abba Avraham: but if one went to
them from the dead, they will make teshuvah.
31 And he said to him, If they listen not to Moshe Rabainu
and the neviim, neither will they be persuaded, though
one rose from the dead. 4950
Then said He to the talmidim, It is impossible that
offences will not come: but woe to him, through whom
they come!
2 It were better for him that a millstone were hung
around his neck, and he was thrown into the sea rather,
than that he should offend one of these little ones.
3 Take heed to yourselves: If your brother trespasses
against you, rebuke him; and if he makes teshuvah,
forgive him.
4 And if he trespasses against you seven times in a day,
and seven times in a day turns again to you, saying, I
make teshuvah; you shall forgive him. 4951

5 And the shlichim said to gauvh, Increase our emunah.
6 And gauvh said, If you had emunah as a grain of
mustard zera, you might say to this mulberry eytz, Be
plucked up by the root, and be planted in the sea; and it
4952 4953
should obey you.
7 But which of you, having an eved plowing, or feeding
cattle, will say to him immediately, when he is come from
the field, Go and sit down to eat?
8 But would you not rather say to him, Make ready for my
supper, and dress yourself, and serve me, until I have
eaten and drunk; and afterward you shall eat and drink?
9 Does he thank that eved because he did the things that
were commanded him? I think not.
10 So likewise you, when you shall have done all those
things that are commanded to you, say, We are unworthy
avadim: we have done only that which was our duty to do.
11 And it came to pass, as He went to Yahrushalayim that
He passed through the midst of Shomron and Galil. 4954
12 And as He entered into a certain village, there He met
ten men 4955 that were lepers, who stood far off: 4956
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, gauvh,
Master, have rachamim on us. 4957
14 And when He saw them, He said to them, Go show
