4 I am resolved what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they 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 unto him, `How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest be no longer steward.'

3 Then the steward said within himself, `What shall I do? For my lord taketh away from me the stewardship. I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

4 I am resolved what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.'

5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, `How much owest thou unto my lord?'

6 And he said, `A hundred measures of oil.' And he said to him, `Take thy bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
