Luke 16:4

4 I have decided what to do so that, when I am dismissed as manager, people may 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:

they may receive me into their houses;
either Jews or Gentiles, after their dispersion.

4 I have decided what to do so that, when I am dismissed as manager, people may welcome me into their homes.'

5 So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he asked the first, "How much do you owe my master?'

6 He answered, "A hundred jugs of olive oil.' He said to him, "Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.'
