Luke 16:14 Context
12And if ye haue not bene faithful in that which is another mans, who shall giue you that which is your owne? 13¶ No seruant can serue two masters, for either he will hate the one, and loue the other: or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other: yee cannot serue God and Mammon. 14And the Pharisees also who were couetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 15And he said vnto them, Ye are they which iustifie your selues before men, but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed amongst men, is abomination in the sight of God. 16The law and the Prophets were vntill Iohn: since that time the kingdome of God is preached, and euery man preasseth into it.
