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 may no longer be steward.

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

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

5 So he called each one of his lord’s debtors unto him and said unto the first, How much dost thou owe unto my lord?

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