Luke 16:1-7

1NowG1161 He was alsoG2532 sayingG3004 to the disciplesG3101, “There was a richG4145 manG444 whoG3739 hadG2192 a managerG3623, and thisG3778 manager was 1reportedG1225 to him as 2squanderingG1287 his possessionsG5225.

2And he calledG5455 him and saidG3004 to him, ‘WhatG5101 is thisG3778 I hearG191 aboutG4012 you? GiveG591 an accountingG3056 of your managementG3622, for you canG1410 noG3756 longerG2089 be managerG3621.’

3The managerG3623 saidG3004 to himselfG1438, ‘WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, sinceG3754 my 3masterG2962 is takingG851 the managementG3622 awayG851 from me? I amG2480 not strongG2480 enoughG2480 to digG4626; I am ashamedG153 to begG1871.

4I knowG1097 whatG5101 I shall doG4160, soG2443 that whenG3752 I am removedG3179 from the managementG3622 people will welcomeG1209 me into their homesG3624.’

5And he summonedG4341 eachG1538 oneG1520 of his 4master’sG2962 debtorsG5533, and he began sayingG3004 to the firstG4413, ‘HowG4214 muchG4214 do you oweG3784 my masterG2962?’

6And he saidG3004, ‘A hundredG1540 5measuresG943 of oilG1637.’ And he saidG3004 to him, ‘TakeG1209 your billG1121, and sitG2523 downG2523 quicklyG5030 and writeG1125 fiftyG4004.’

7ThenG1899 he saidG3004 to anotherG2087, ‘And howG4214 muchG4214 do you oweG3784?’ And he saidG3004, ‘A hundredG1540 6measuresG2884 of wheatG4621.’ He saidG3004 to him, ‘TakeG1209 your billG1121, and writeG1125 eightyG3589.’
