1He said also to his disciples, "There was a certain rich man, who had a manager. The same was accused to him of wasting his possessions.
2He called him, and said to him, `What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.`
3The steward said within himself, `What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don`t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.`
5Calling each one of his lord`s debtors to him, he said to the first, `How much do you owe to my lord?`
6He said, `A hundred batos of oil.` He said to him, `Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.`
7Then said he to another, `How much do you owe?` He said, `A hundred cors of wheat.` He said to him, `Take your bill, and write eighty.`
