MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he said also unto his disciples, "There was a certain rich man, which had a steward, that was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. ² And he called him, and said unto him, 'How is it, that I hear this of thee? Give accounts of thy stewardship. For thou mayest be no longer my steward.' ³ The steward said within himself, 'What shall I do? For my master will take away from me the stewardship. I cannot dig, and to beg, I am ashamed. ⁴ I know what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.' ⁵ Then called he all his master's debtors, and said unto the first, 'How much owest thou unto my master?' ⁶ And he said, 'An hundred tonnes of oil.' And he said to him, 'Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.' ⁷ Then said he to another, 'What owest thou?' And he said, 'An hundred quarters of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take thy bill, and write fourscore.' ⁸ And the Lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely. For the children of this world, are in their kind, wiser than the children of light.
