Luke 16:1 In-Context

1 And he also said to the disciples, "A certain man was rich, who had a manager. And charges were brought to him that this person was squandering his possessions.
2 And he summoned him [and] said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give the account of your management, because you can no longer manage.'
3 And the manager said to himself, 'What should I do, because my master is taking away the management from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
4 I know what I should do, so that when I am removed from the management they will welcome me into their homes!'
5 And he summoned each one of his own master's debtors [and] said to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'
