Luke 16:1-8

[1] And  also  unto  his  disciples,  a certain  rich  man,  which  had  a steward;  and  the same  was accused  unto him  that  he had wasted  his  [2] And  he called  him,  and said  unto him,  How  is it that I hear  of  give  an account  stewardship;  for  thou mayest be  no  longer  steward.  [3] Then  the steward  said  within  himself,  What  shall I do?  for  lord  taketh away  from  the stewardship:  I cannot  dig;  to beg  I am ashamed.  [4] I am resolved  what  to do,  that,  when  I am put out  of the stewardship,  they may receive  into  houses.  [5] So  he called  every  one  of his  lord's  debtors  unto the first,  How much  owest thou  lord?  [6] And  he said,  An hundred  measures  of oil.  And  he said  unto him,  Take  bill,  and  sit down  quickly,  and write  fifty.  [7] Then  said he  to another,  And  how much  owest  thou?  And  he said,  An hundred  measures  of wheat.  And  he said  unto him,  Take  bill,  and  write  fourscore.  [8] And  the lord  commended  the unjust  steward,  because  he had done  wisely:  for  the children  world  in  their  generation  wiser  than  the children  of light.
