The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’Luke 14:19Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’Luke 14:20Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’Luke 14:21The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’Luke 14:22‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’Luke 14:23So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.Luke 14:24For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”Luke 16:1Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.Luke 16:2So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’Luke 16:3The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my position? I am too weak to dig and too ashamed to beg.Luke 16:4I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’Luke 16:5And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.Luke 16:6‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’Luke 16:7Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your bill and write eighty,’ he told him.Luke 16:8The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly.

How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”John 6:26Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.John 6:27Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”John 12:6Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.Acts 8:18When Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money.Acts 8:19“Give me this power as well,” he said, “so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”Acts 8:20But Peter replied, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!Acts 8:21You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God.Acts 8:22Repent, therefore, of your wickedness, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for the intent of your heart.Acts 8:23For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and captive to iniquity.”Acts 16:19When the girl’s owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace.Acts 19:24It began with a silversmith named Demetrius who made silver shrines of Artemis, bringing much business to the craftsmen.Acts 19:27There is danger not only that our business will fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited and her majesty deposed—she who is worshiped by all the province of Asia and the whole world.”Acts 24:26At the same time, he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe.
