2And he sent for him and said, What is this which is said about you? give me an account of all you have done, for you will no longer be the manager of my property.
3And the servant said to himself, What am I to do now that my lord takes away my position? I have not enough strength for working in the fields, and I would be shamed if I made requests for money from people in the streets.
4I have come to a decision what to do, so that when I am put out of my position they will take me into their houses.
5And sending for every one who was in debt to his lord he said to the first, What is the amount of your debt to my lord?
6And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said, Take your account straight away and put down fifty.
7Then he said to another, What is the amount of your debt? And he said, A hundred measures of grain. And he said to him, Take your account and put down eighty.
8And his lord was pleased with the false servant, because he had been wise; for the sons of this world are wiser in relation to their generation than the sons of light.
