Luke 16:1-13
Jesus said to his disciples, “There was once a rich man who had a servant who managed his
property. The rich man was told that the manager was wasting his master's money, 2 so he
called him in and said, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in a complete account of your
handling of my property, because you cannot be my manager any longer.’ 3 The servant said
to himself, ‘My master is going to dismiss me from my job. What shall I do? I am not strong
enough to dig ditches, and I am ashamed to beg. 4 Now I know what I will do! Then when my
job is gone, I shall have friends who will welcome me in their homes.’ 5 So he called in all the
people who were in debt to his master. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you owe my
master?’ 6 ‘One hundred barrels of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Here is your account,’ the
manager told him; ‘sit down and write fifty.’ 7 Then he asked another one, ‘And you—how
much do you owe?’ ‘A thousand bushels of wheat,’ he answered. ‘Here is your account,’ the
manager told him; ‘write eight hundred.’ 8 As a result the master of this dishonest manager
praised him for doing such a shrewd thing; because the people of this world are much more
shrewd in handling their affairs than the people who belong to the light.” 9 And Jesus went on
to say, “And so I tell you: make friends for yourselves with worldly wealth, so that when it
gives out, you will be welcomed in the eternal home. 10 Whoever is faithful in small matters
will be faithful in large ones; whoever is dishonest in small matters will be dishonest in large
ones. 11 If, then, you have not been faithful in handling worldly wealth, how can you be
trusted with true wealth? 12 And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to someone
else, who will give you what belongs to you?
13 “No servant can be the slave of two masters; such a slave will hate one and love
the other or will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
