The crafty manager
1 He also said to his disciples, ‘There was a rich man and he had
a manager who was denounced to him for squandering his
property. 2 He called for the man and said, “What is this I hear
about you? Draw me up an account of your management because you
are not to be my manager any longer.” 3 Then the manager said to
himself, “Now that my master is taking my position away from
me, what am I to do? I am not strong enough to dig. I would be
ashamed to go begging. 4 I know what I will do to make sure that
when I am dismissed from office people will welcome me into their
homes.”
5 ‘Then he called his master’s debtors one by one. To the first he
said, “How much do you owe my master?” 6 “One hundred jars of
oil,” he said. The manager said, “Take your bond; sit down and
quickly write fifty.” 7 To another he said, “And you, sir, how much
do you owe?” “One hundred sacks of wheat,” he said. The manager
said, “Take your bond and write eighty.” 8 ‘The master praised the
dishonest manager for his astuteness.a For the children of this world
are more astute in dealing with their own kind than are the children
of light.
The right use of money
9 ‘And so I tell you this: use money, tainted as it is,b to win you
friends, and thus make sure that when it fails you, they will welcome
you into eternal dwellings. 10 Anyone who is
trustworthy in the smallest matters is trustworthy in great; anyone
who is dishonest in the smallest matters is dishonest in great. 11 If
then you have not been trustworthy with money, that tainted thing,
who will trust you with genuine riches? 12 And if you are not
trustworthy with what is not yours, who will give you what is your
very own?
13 ‘No servant can serve two masters: a servant will
either hate the first and love the second, or be attached to the first
