Luke 16:4

4 I have 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 So he called him and said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.'

3 Then the steward said within himself, 'What shall I do? For my master is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.

4 I have 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 master's debtors to him, and said to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'

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