AND he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods.

Luke 16:2
And he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.

Luke 16:3
And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.

Luke 16:4
I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

Luke 16:5
Therefore calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?

Luke 16:6
But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

Luke 16:7
Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write eighty.

Luke 16:8

Luke 16:9

Luke 16:10
He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.

Luke 16:11
If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is the true?

Luke 16:12
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s; who will give you that which is your own?

Luke 16:13
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
