Luke 16:1-8 THEN said he also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he received an information against him, as having dissipated his treasures.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ THEN said he also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he received an information against him, as having dissipated his treasures. ² And calling him, he said to him, What is this report I hear of thee? give up the account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer in that office. ³ Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? because my master is taking away the stewardship from me: to dig, I have not the strength; to beg, I am ashamed. ⁴ I know what I will do, that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may entertain me at their houses. ⁵ So calling upon every one of his master's debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my master? ⁶ And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said, Take thy account, and sit down directly, and write fifty. ⁷ Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred core of wheat. And he saith to him, Take thy account, and write fourscore. ⁸ And the master praised the unjust steward, because he had acted providently: for the children of this world are more provident among their own generation of men, than the children of light.
