Luke 16:1-8 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him of wasting his possessions.

KJC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him of wasting his possessions. ² And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may be no longer steward. ³ Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. ⁴ I know what I may do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. ⁵ So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much do you owe unto my lord? ⁶ And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take your bond, and sit down quickly, and write payment for fifty. ⁷ Then said he to another, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take your bond, and write payment for eighty. ⁸ And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
