Luke 16:1-9

1Jesus also saidG1161G2532G2036 toG4314 His disciplesG3101, “There wasG1510 aG5100 richG4145 manG444 whoseG3739 managerG3623 was accused ofG1225G846G5613G3778 wastingG1287 hisG846 possessionsG5225. 2SoG2532 he calledG5455 him inG846 to askG2036, ‘WhatG5101 is thisG3778 I hearG191 aboutG4012 youG4771? Turn inG591 anG3588 accountG3056 ofG3588 yourG4771 managementG3622, forG1063 you cannotG1410G3756 be managerG3621 any longerG2089.’

TheG3588 managerG3623 saidG2036 toG1722 himselfG1438, ‘WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, now thatG3754 myG1473 masterG2962 is takingG851 awayG575 myG1473 position? I am too weakG3756G2480 to digG4626 and too ashamedG153 to begG1871. 4I knowG1097 whatG5101 I will doG4160 so thatG2443 afterG3752 my removalG3179 fromG1537 managementG3622, people will welcomeG1209 meG1473 intoG1519 theirG1438 homesG3624.’

5AndG2532 he called inG4341 eachG1538 oneG1520 of hisG1438 master’sG2962 debtorsG5533. ‘How muchG4214 do you oweG3784G3588 myG1473 masterG2962?’ he askedG2036 theG3588 firstG4413.

6‘A hundredG1540 measures of olive oilG1637,’1 he answeredG2036.

‘TakeG1209 yourG4771 billG1121,’ saidG2036 the manager, ‘sit downG2523 quicklyG5030, and writeG1125 fiftyG4004.’

7ThenG1899 he askedG2036 anotherG2087, ‘AndG1161 how muchG4214 do youG4771 oweG3784?’

‘A hundredG1540 measures of wheatG4621,’2 he repliedG2036.

‘TakeG1209 yourG4771 billG1121 andG2532 writeG1125 eightyG3589,’ he toldG3004 himG846.

TheG3588 masterG2962 commendedG1867 theG3588 dishonestG93 managerG3623 becauseG3754 he had actedG4160 shrewdlyG5430. ForG3754 theG3588 sonsG5207 of thisG3778 ageG165 areG1510 more shrewdG5429 in dealing withG1519 their ownG1438 kindG1074 thanG5228 are theG3588 sonsG5207 of lightG5457. 9IG1473 tellG3004 youG4771, useG1537 worldlyG93 wealthG3126 to makeG4160 friendsG5384 for yourselvesG1438 so thatG2443 whenG3752 it is goneG1587, they will welcomeG1209 youG4771 intoG1519 eternalG166 dwellingsG4633.
