1. Jesus told his disciples: "There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
2. So he called him in and asked him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.'
3. "The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg—
4. I know what I'll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.'
