Lucas 16:14

14 Los fariseos, que amaban mucho su dinero, oyeron todo eso y se burlaron de Jesús.

Lucas 16:14 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 16:14

And the Pharisees also who were covetous
Or lovers of money, the love of which is the root of all evil; and that they were, is evident from their devouring widows' houses, under a pretence of making long prayers for them, ( Matthew 23:14 )

heard all these things;
as well as the disciples, being in company with them, ( Luke 15:2 ) even the parable concerning the unjust steward, and the application of it; and the directions given about using the things of this world, and the distributing of them to the poor, and showing a greater concern for riches of an higher nature:

and they derided him:
lift up their nose, or drew it out to him, as the word signifies, in a sneering way; they rejected and despised what he said about their injustice, in their stewardship; the calling of them to an account for it, and the turning of them out of it; and concerning the true use of worldly riches, and the contempt of them; they looked upon themselves safe and secure in the good opinion of the people, and happy in the enjoyment of worldly things; and looked upon him as a weak man, to talk in the manner he did.

Lucas 16:14 In-Context

12 y si no son fieles con las cosas de otras personas, ¿por qué se les debería confiar lo que es de ustedes?

13 »Nadie puede servir a dos amos. Pues odiará a uno y amará al otro; será leal a uno y despreciará al otro. No se puede servir a Dios y al dinero».

14 Los fariseos, que amaban mucho su dinero, oyeron todo eso y se burlaron de Jesús.

15 Entonces él les dijo:

16 »Hasta el tiempo de Juan el Bautista, la ley de Moisés y el mensaje de los profetas fueron sus guías; pero ahora se predica la Buena Noticia del reino de Dios, y todos están ansiosos por entrar.
