1 Jesus said to his disciples:A rich man once had a manager to take care of his business. But he was told that his manager was wasting money.
2 So the rich man called him in and said, “What is this I hear about you? Tell me what you have done! You are no longer going to work for me.”
3 The manager said to himself, “What shall I do now that my master is going to fire me? I can't dig ditches, and I'm ashamed to beg.
4 I know what I'll do, so that people will welcome me into their homes after I've lost my job.”
