1 ALSO said to the disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a manager of his estate, and accusations were brought to him, that he was squandering his possessions. 2 And he called him and said to him, What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management , for you can be manager no longer. 3 And the manager of the estate said to himself, What shall I do, seeing that my master is taking the management away from me? I am not able to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. 4 I have come to know what I will do, so that they may accept and welcome me into their houses when I am put out of the management. 5 So he summoned his master's debtors one by one, and he said to the first, How much do you owe my master? 6 He said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take back your written acknowledgement of obligation, and sit down quickly and write fifty . 7 After that he said to another, And how much do you owe? He said, A hundred measures of wheat. He said to him, Take back your written acknowledgement of obligation, and write eighty . 8 And master praised the dishonest (unjust) manager for acting shrewdly and prudently; for the sons of this age are shrewder and more prudent and wiser in their own generation than are the sons of light.
