RYLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he said also unto his disciples, 'A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods; ² and having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about you? render the account of your stewardship, for you may not any longer be steward. ³ 'And the steward said in himself, What shall I do, because my lord does take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, to beg I am ashamed: -- ⁴ I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses. ⁵ 'And having called near each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord? ⁶ and he said, A hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take your bill, and having sat down write fifty. ⁷ 'Afterward to another he said, And you, how much do you owe? and he said, A hundred cors of wheat; and he said to him, Take your bill, and write eighty. ⁸ 'And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light, in respect to their generation.
