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 as wasting his goods.

Wesley⁽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 as wasting his goods. ² And calling him, he said to him, Why hear I this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward. ³ And the steward said in himself, What shall I do? For my lord taketh away the stewardship from me. I cannot dig, to beg I am ashamed. ⁴ I know what to do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. ⁵ So having called to him every one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord? ⁶ And he said, An hundred measures of oil. He said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty. ⁷ Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? He said, An hundred measures of wheat. He saith, 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 wiser in their generation than the children of light.
