DISCOURSE: 1549THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUSLuke 16:25. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.THE more strongly the discourses of a minister bear upon the prevailing vices of the day, the more will they, whose besetting sin is pointed out and reprobated, pour contempt upon the preacher and his word. Our blessed Lord had spoken the parable of the unjust steward, in order... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Luke 16:29-31

DISCOURSE: 1550THE HOPELESS STATE OF THOSE WHO DISREGARD THE SCRIPTURESLuke 16:29-31. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.

Scofield's Reference Notes - Luke 16:19

There vs. Luke 16:19-31. are not said to be a parable. Rich men and beggars are common; there is no reason why Jesus may not have had in mind a particular case. In no parable is an individual named. read more

Luke 16:31 . Man is very loath to think ill of himself. The most of mankind are very prone to indulge in apologies for sin.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 16:1-31

Jesus speaks on two unpleasant subjects, to a lot of people. Not unpleasant to me, but to a lot of people. Talks about hell. That's not unpleasant to me, not worried about it at all.Now Jesus is at a supper with the Pharisees; it's on the Sabbath day. And this particular section that we are now in is still in that supper that Jesus was invited to, beginning the fourteenth chapter, where the Pharisees invited Him to the house, set Him up with fellow with dropsy, and so this whole interchange of... read more

Luke 16:1 . A certain rich man had a steward accused that he had wasted his goods. After the parable of the prodigal son, we have a second, of a prodigal steward, who had wasted his lord’s property. The spirit of the parable is, that we should so live in equity with men and in piety towards God, as to ensure the rewards and the gift of righteousness in the life to come. Luke 16:2 . Give an account of thy stewardship. The steward, being now overtaken with poverty, had recourse to the... read more
