Luke 16:1-7

The Parable of the Unjust Steward

Luke 16:1-7
1
Speaking to the talmidim, Yeshua said: “There was a wealthy man who employed a general manager. Charges were brought to him that his manager was squandering his resources.
2
So he summoned him and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in your accounts, for you can no longer be manager.’
3
“‘What am I to do?’ said the manager to himself. ‘My boss is firing me, I’m not strong enough to dig ditches, and I’m ashamed to go begging.
4
Aha! I know what I’ll do — something that will make people welcome me into their homes after I’ve lost my job here!’
5
“So, after making appointments with each of his employer’s debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my boss?’
6
‘Eight hundred gallons of olive oil,’ he replied. ‘Take your note back,’ he told him. ‘Now, quickly! Sit down and write one for four hundred!’
7
To the next he said, ‘And you, how much do you owe?’ ‘A thousand bushels of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your note back and write one for eight hundred.’
