Notes
Hades: This can refer to either the place where all people go when they die, or where the wicked go after death, as in this context.
This parable repeats the warning about the danger of riches (16:13–15). It also returns to the idea that when God’s Kingdom comes, many situations will be reversed (changed to the opposite).
The rich, proud, and powerful will be brought low, while the poor, humble, and oppressed will be lifted up.
