Luke 16: 9-15 - 'Use money, tainted as it is, to win you friends.'
Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 2424 (In 'The Social Doctrine of the Church') - A theory that makes profit the exclusive norm and ultimate end of economic activity is morally unacceptable. The disordered desire for money cannot but produce perverse effects. It is one of the causes of the many conflicts which disturb the social order.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. Welcome again to Daily Gospel Exegesis, where we do a verse-by-verse exegesis of the Gospels to help you |
| 0:17.2 | understand them better, to help get at what the literal sense of the text is. |
| 0:22.1 | We're continuing where we were yesterday in Luke chapter 16, and today we get to verses 9 to 15. |
| 0:30.1 | Jesus said to his disciples, I tell you this, use money, tainted as it is, to win you friends, |
| 0:40.1 | and thus make sure that when it fails you, |
| 0:43.0 | they will welcome you into the tents of eternity. |
| 0:49.0 | The man who can be trusted in little things can be trusted in great, and the man who is dishonest in little things will be dishonest in great. |
| 0:53.4 | If then you cannot be trusted with money, that tainted |
| 0:56.5 | thing, who will trust you with genuine riches? And if you cannot be trusted with what is not yours, |
| 1:03.0 | who will give you what is your very own? No servant can be the slave of two masters. He will either |
| 1:10.0 | hate the first and love the second, |
| 1:12.4 | or treat the first with respect and the second with scorn. You cannot be the slave of both God |
| 1:19.3 | and of money. The Pharisees who loved money heard all this and laughed at him. He said to them, |
| 1:29.9 | you are the very ones who pass yourselves off as virtuous in people's sight, but God knows your hearts. For what is thought highly |
| 1:36.8 | of by men is loathsome in the sight of God. So we have some pretty strong language here from Jesus. Let's start by setting the scene. |
| 1:47.0 | What's the context? So Jesus, as he is in the bulk of the middle of the Gospel of Luke, he's moving |
| 1:52.9 | from Galilee to Jerusalem. He's doing ministry along the way. He's speaking to the crowds. |
| 1:58.7 | Now, just before this, he's told the parable of the unrighteous servant, and he's about to |
| 2:04.0 | bring out its meaning a bit more here. |
| 2:05.6 | So I definitely recommend going back and reading yesterday's, lectureary reading, from |
| 2:11.2 | Luke chapter 6 versus 1 to 8, and we covered that in yesterday's episode. |
| 2:15.6 | So I think today in particular, it will be really good |
