Luke 16:1-8

1AndG1161 he saidG3004 alsoG2532 toG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3101, There wasG2258 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444, whoG3739 hadG2192 a stewardG3623; andG2532 the sameG3778 was accusedG1225 to himG846 thatG5613 he had wastedG1287 hisG846 goodsG5224.

2AndG2532 he calledG5455 himG846, and saidG2036 to himG846, HowG5101 is it that I hearG191 thisG5124 ofG4012 theeG4675? giveG591 an accountG3056 of thyG4675 stewardshipG3622; forG1063 thou mayest beG1410 noG3756 longerG2089 stewardG3621.

3ThenG1161 the stewardG3623 saidG2036 withinG1722 himselfG1438, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160? forG3754 myG3450 lordG2962 takethG851 fromG575 meG1700 the stewardshipG3622: I cannotG3756G2480 digG4626; I am ashamedG153 to begG1871.

4I am resolvedG1097 whatG5101 to doG4160, thatG2443, whenG3752 I am removedG3179 from the stewardshipG3622, they may receiveG1209 meG3165 intoG1519 theirG846 housesG3624.

5SoG2532 he calledG4341 everyG1538 oneG1520 of hisG1438 lord’sG2962 debtorsG5533, and saidG3004 to the firstG4413, How muchG4214 owest thouG3784 to myG3450 lordG2962?

6AndG1161 he saidG2036, An hundredG1540 measuresG943 of oilG1637. AndG2532 he saidG2036 to himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4675 billG1121, andG2532 sit downG2523 quicklyG5030, and writeG1125 fiftyG4004.1

7ThenG1899 said heG2036 to anotherG2087, AndG1161 how muchG4214 owestG3784 thouG4771? AndG1161 he saidG2036, An hundredG1540 measuresG2884 of wheatG4621. AndG2532 he saidG3004 to himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4675 billG1121, andG2532 writeG1125 eightyG3589.2

8AndG2532 the lordG2962 commendedG1867 the unjustG93 stewardG3623, becauseG3754 he had doneG4160 wiselyG5430: forG3754 the childrenG5207 of thisG5127 worldG165 areG1526 inG1519 theirG1438 generationG1074 wiserG5429 thanG5228 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457.
