1 Jesus also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who was informed of accusations that his manager was wasting his assets.
2 So he called the manager in and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in the account of your administration, because you can no longer be my manager.’
3 Then the manager said to himself, ‘What should I do, since my master is taking my position away from me? I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m too ashamed to beg.
4 I know what to do so that when I am put out of management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
5 So he contacted his master’s debtors one by one. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 The man replied, ‘A hundred measures of olive oil.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
