Luke 16:4

4 I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.'

Luke 16:4 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 16:4

I am resolved what to do
Or "I know what to do"; I have a scheme in my head, and I am determined to execute it, which will provide for me, and secure me a maintenance:

that when I am put out of the stewardship;
drove from Jerusalem, and from the temple and the synagogues:

they may receive me into their houses;
either Jews or Gentiles, after their dispersion.

Luke 16:4 In-Context

2 And he called him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'

3 And the manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.

4 I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.'

5 So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'

6 He said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
