Summary:Why does the master commend the 'dishonest' steward in Luke 16,9? And why is the Hebrew term 'mammon', appearing three times in the narrative, left untranslated in Greek? These questions have guided the present research, which seeks to provide an additional contribution to the understanding of the Lucan text by examining not only the entirety of chapter 16, with its parable of the rich man and Lazarus, but also the teachings of the Mishnah, particularly within the tractate Pirqè ’Abot.
