Luke Chapter 16
{The
Parable of the Clever Steward} {Note: Diaballo means to accuse. SideNote: Diaballo is the word from which we get 'devil'. It is used for one of the titles for Satan - the accuser/devil! We learn in Revelation that Satan accuses all believers before the throne of God and Jesus Christ acts as our defense attorney.}
16:2``
And, having called the manager in,
16:3``Then
the manager said within himself,
I'm
not strong in my body {ischuo} enough to dig,
16:4``
I know/perceive {ginosko} what to do,
16:5``
So having called to himself
16:6``
The man replied, 'A hundred measures of olive oil.'
16:7``
Then he said to another,
16:8``
The master/lord praised
For
the children of this age {aion} {Note: Adikia - 'a' is the alpha privative in the Greek. It takes a word and gives it the opposite meaning. So dikia is a righteous and just person. Adikia is unrighteous and anti-justice.}
16:9``And,
as for myself,
16:10``
"The one who believes/'is faithful' in the very least
16:11``If
therefore you have not become faithful {in handling}
16:12``
And if you haven't been trustworthy/faithful
16:13``No
servant/domestic
For
he will either hate the one and love {agapao} the other,
You
absolutely {ouk} cannot serve/
{More
Warnings about the Pharisees} {Note: Ekmukterizo means the Pharisees were actually turning up the noses and making a hook of it on which to suspend Him as an obstacle of ridicule!}
16:15``And
He {Jesus} said {lego} to them,
But
God keeps on knowing {the thoughts and intents of}
For
what is highly prized among men
16:16``"The
law and the prophets . . . {were in force}
Since
then, the good news of the kingdom of God is proclaimed,
16:17``Moreover,
it is easier for heaven and earth to depart {Note: See also Matthew 5:18.}
16:18``"Anyone
who divorces his wife
{The
Rich Man and Lazarus}
16:20-21``And,
an utterly destitute man In addition, the dogs coming . . . went to licking his sores.
16:22``"And
it came to pass that the destitute beggar died The rich man also died and was buried. {Note: Abraham's bosom is the section of Hades where the souls of believers went before the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was also called Paradise. Now those in Paradise were transferred to the third heaven. Unbeliever's souls remain in Hades until the Great White Throne judgment.}
16:23``And
in Hades, he {the rich man} having been in torment,
16:24``So
he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me,
16:25``But
Abraham said, But now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish."

he {the rich man} said,
16:29``But
Abraham said,
16:30``Then
the rich man said,
16:31``But
he {Abraham} said {lego} to him {the rich man}, ************************************************** Joshua_Sozo and Syndein are the Trademarks of Syndein a California DBA of Kenneth Sidley & Associates, Inc., a California Corporation.
