Luke 16:1-8 And He also said to His disciples, A certain man was rich; and he had a steward, and this one was accused to him as wasting his goods.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And He also said to His disciples, A certain man was rich; and he had a steward, and this one was accused to him as wasting his goods. ² And calling him, he said to him, What is this I hear about you? Give the account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward. ³ And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, for my Lord is taking away the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I will do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, they will receive me into their houses. ⁵ And calling to him each one of the debtors of his lord, he said to the first, How much do you owe my lord? ⁶ And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take your statements and sitting quickly write fifty. ⁷ Then he said to another, And you, how much do you owe? And he said, a hundred cors of wheat. And he said to him, Take your statement and write eighty. ⁸ And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, because he acted prudently. For the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of light themselves are in their generation.
