Jesus

Speaking to the talmidim, Yeshua said: “There was a wealthy man who employed a general manager. Charges were brought to him that his manager was squandering his resources.

“Now what I say to you is this: use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it gives out, you may be welcomed into the eternal home.

The P’rushim heard all this, and since they were money-lovers, they ridiculed him.

He said to them, “You people make yourselves look righteous to others, but God knows your hearts; what people regard highly is an abomination before God!

However, Avraham said, ‘Son, remember that when you were alive, you got the good things while he got the bad; but now he gets his consolation here, while you are the one in agony.

Yeshua said to his talmidim, “It is impossible that snares will not be set. But woe to the person who sets them!

“Also, at the time of the Son of Man, it will be just as it was at the time of Noach.

That is how it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

I tell you, on that night there will be two people in one bed — one will be taken and the other left behind.

They asked him, “Where, Lord?” He answered, “Wherever there’s a dead body, that’s where the vultures gather.”

Then Yeshua told his talmidim a parable, in order to impress on them that they must always keep praying and not lose heart.
