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.”
5. ‘So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, “How much do you owe my master?”
6. ‘ “Three thousand litres of olive oil,” he replied.‘The manager told him, “Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifteen hundred.”
