4. I know what I will do so that, when I have been removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.'
5. And so, calling together each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe my lord?'
6. So he said, 'One hundred jars of oil.' And he said to him, 'Take your invoice, and quickly, sit down and write fifty.'
7. Next, he said to another, 'In truth, how much do you owe?' And he said, 'One hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your record books, and write eighty.'
8. And the lord praised the iniquitous steward, in that he had acted prudently. For the sons of this age are more prudent with their generation than are the sons of light.
