Luke 16:4

4 I know what I should do, so that when I am removed from the management they will welcome me into their homes!'

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 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?'

6 And he said, 'A hundred measures of olive oil.' So he said to him, 'Take your promissory note and sit down quickly [and] write fifty.'
