1. And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and he was accused to him as wasting his goods.
2. And having called him, he said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give the reckoning of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.
3. And the steward said within himself, What shall I do; for my lord is taking the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
