Luke 16:1-8 And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his goods.

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his goods. ² And he called him, and said to him: What is this that I hear of you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer act as steward. ³ And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes from me the stewardship. I have not strength to dig; I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I am resolved on what I shall do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, I may be received into their houses. ⁵ And he called to him every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much do you owe my lord? ⁶ He replied, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take back your note, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. ⁷ Then he said to another, How much do you owe? He replied, A hundred homers of wheat. And he said to him, Take back your note, and write eighty. ⁸ And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he acted prudently. For the children of this age are more prudent toward their generation than the children of light.
