No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Commentary on Luke 16:13

Theological / Devotional

No servant. See on Matt. 6:24. Except for the word “servant” — a word suitable to this context, which deals with the “servant” of the parable, the steward — Jesus’ statement as here given is identical with that of Matt. 6:24. It should be remembered that much of Jesus’ former teaching was repeated during the Peraean phase of His ministry (DA 488). There is no valid reason for supposing, as many critics do, that either Luke or Matthew must have inserted this saying at the wrong place in his gospel narrative.
