Luke 16:1-8 (New Revised Standard)
1
Then Jesus a said to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property.
2
So he summoned him and said to him, "What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.'
3
Then the manager said to himself, "What will I do, now that my master is taking the position 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 dismissed as manager, people may welcome me into their homes.'
5
So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he asked the first, "How much do you owe my master?'
6
He answered, "A hundred jugs of olive oil.' He said to him, "Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.'
7
Then he asked another, "And how much do you owe?' He replied, "A hundred containers of wheat.' He said to him, "Take your bill and make it eighty.'
8
And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light.
