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.

2 And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for thou mayest be no longer steward.

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

4 I am resolved what to do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?

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