The Parable of the Dishonest Manager
1
Then
Jesus
said
to
the
disciples,
‘There
was
a
rich
man
who
had
a
manager,
and
charges
were
brought
to him that this man was squandering his property.
2
So
he
summoned
him
and
said
to
him,
“What
is
this
that
I
hear
about
you?
Give
me
an
account
of
your
management,
because
you
cannot
be
my
manager any longer.”
3
Then
the
manager
said
to
himself,
“What
will
I
do,
now
that
my
master
is
taking
the
position
away
from
me?
I
am
not
strong
enough
to
dig,
and
I
am
ashamed to beg.
4
I
have
decided
what
to
do
so
that,
when
I
am
dismissed
as
manager,
people
may
welcome
me
into their homes.”
5
So,
summoning
his
master’s
debtors
one
by
one,
he
asked
the
first,
“How
much
do
you
owe
my
master?”
6
He
answered,
“A
hundred
jugs
of
olive
oil.”
He
said
to
him,
“Take
your
bill,
sit
down
quickly,
and
make it fifty.”
7
Then
he
asked
another,
“And
how
much
do
you
owe?”
He
replied,
“A
hundred
containers
of
wheat.”
He
said
to
him,
“Take
your
bill
and
make
it eighty.”
8
And
his
master
commended
the
dishonest
manager
because
he
had
acted
shrewdly;
for
the
children
of
this
age
are
more
shrewd
in
dealing
with
their
own
generation
than
are
the
children
of
light.
9
And
I
tell
you,
make
friends
for
yourselves
by
means
of
dishonest
wealth
so
that
when
it
is
gone,
they may welcome you into the eternal homes
10
‘Whoever
is
faithful
in
a
very
little
is
faithful
also
in
much;
and
whoever
is
dishonest
in
a
very
little
is dishonest also in much.
11
If
then
you
have
not
been
faithful
with
the
dishonest
wealth,
who
will
entrust
to
you
the
true
riches?
12
And
if
you
have
not
been
faithful
with
what
belongs
to
another,
who
will
give
you
what
is
your
own?
13
No
slave
can
serve
two
masters;
for
a
slave
will
either
hate
the
one
and
love
the
other,
or
be
devoted
to
the
one
and
despise
the
other.
You
cannot serve God and wealth.’
Prayer for the Week
Gracious Lord, bless the week ahead. May
its challenges not overwhelm us,
circumstances not discourage us, and in all
things may we remember you are with us in
our journeying, your love our fuel, your
word our guide, today and always. Amen.

Hear
this,
you
that
trample
on
the
needy,
and
bring to ruin the poor of the land,
5
saying, ‘When will the new moon be over so
that we may sell grain; and the Sabbath, so that
we may offer wheat for sale? We will make the
ephah small and the shekel great, and practise
deceit with false balances,
6
buying the poor for silver and the needy for a
pair of sandals, and selling the sweepings of the
wheat.’
7
The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob:
Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.

1
Then
Jesus
said
to
the
disciples,
‘There
was
a
rich
man
who
had
a

and

were
brought
to

2
So
he
summoned
him
and
said
to

“What
is

Give
me
an
account
of

because
you
cannot be my manager any longer.”
3
Then
the
manager
said
to
himself,
“What
will
I
do,
now
that
my
master
is
taking
the

away
from

I
am

I

So,

He
said
to
him,
“Take

7
Then
he
asked
another,
“And
how
much
do
you
owe?”
He
replied,
“A
hundred
containers
of
wheat.”
He
said
to
him,
“Take
your
bill
and make it eighty.”
8
And
his
master
commended
the
dishonest
manager
because
he
had
acted
shrewdly;
for
the
children
of
this
age
are
more
shrewd
in

9
And
I
tell
you,
make
friends
for
yourselves
by

of
dishonest
wealth
so
that
when
it
is
gone,
they
may
welcome

into

10
‘Whoever

faithful
also
in
much;
and
whoever
is

11
If
then
you
have
not
been
faithful
with
the
dishonest
wealth,
who
will
entrust
to
you
the
true riches?
12
And
if
you
have

will

13
No
