He filled hungry people with good things and sent rich people away with nothing.

"But how terrible it will be for you who are rich, because you have had your comfort!

Then he told them a parable. He said, "The land of a certain rich man produced good crops.

Then he told the man who had invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, stop inviting only your friends, brothers, relatives, or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return and you would be repaid.

Now Jesus was saying to the disciples, "A rich man had a servant manager who was accused of wasting his assets.

"Once there was a rich man who used to dress in purple and fine linen and live in great luxury every day.

He was always trying to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs used to come and lick his sores.

"One day, the beggar died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried.

"The rich man said, "Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house

"But the rich man replied, "No, father Abraham! But if someone from the dead went to them, they would repent.'

But when the official heard this he became sad, because he was very rich.

So when Jesus saw how sad he was, he said, "How hard it is for rich people to get into the kingdom of God!

Indeed, it's easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into the kingdom of God."

a man named Zacchaeus appeared. He was a leading tax collector, and a rich one at that!

Now Jesus looked up and saw rich people dropping their gifts into the offering box.
