Luke 16:1-7

1And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.

2And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

3Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.

4I am resolved what to do, that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

5So he called every one of his lord’s debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?

6And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.1

7Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.2
