1. He also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
2. And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
3. And the manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
4. I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.’
