Luke 16: 1 - 8
|
| 1 | He also said to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a steward, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his goods. |
| 2 | And he called him and said to him, `What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.' |
| 3 | And the steward said to himself, `What shall I do, since my master is taking the stewardship away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. |
| 4 | I have decided what to do, so that people may receive me into their houses when I am put out of the stewardship.' |
| 5 | So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, `How much do you owe my master?' |
| 6 | He said, `A hundred measures of oil.' And he said to him, `Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' |
| 7 | Then he said to another, `And how much do you owe?' He said, `A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, `Take your bill, and write eighty.' |
| 8 | The master commended the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light. |
