Context of Luke 16:12
10He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. 11If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous riches, who will commit to your trust the true riches ? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own? 13No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and riches. 14And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they mocked him.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 12That which is another man's - Or rather another's, ͅ . That is, worldly riches, called another's: Because they belong to God, and he has not designed that they should be any man's portion. Because they are continually changing their possessors, being in the way of commerce, and in providence going from one to another. This property of worldly goods is often referred to by both sacred and profane writers. See a fine passage in Horace, Sat. l. ii. s. 2. v…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 12Another man‘s - The word “man‘s” is not in the original. It is, “If ye have been unfaithful managers for another.” It refers, doubtless, to “God.” The wealth of the world is “his.” It is committed to us as his stewards.
