1. And he also said to the disciples, “A certain man was rich, who had a manager. And charges were brought to him that this person was squandering his possessions.
2. And he summoned him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give the account of your management, because you can no longer manage.’
3. And the manager said to himself, ‘What should I do, because my master is taking away the management from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
4. I know what I should do, so that when I am removed from the management they will welcome me into their homes!’
