Luke 16:1-3 New Century Version (NCV)

1. Jesus also said to his followers, “Once there was a rich man who had a manager to take care of his business. This manager was accused of cheating him.

2. So he called the manager in and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give me a report of what you have done with my money, because you can’t be my manager any longer.’

3. The manager thought to himself, ‘What will I do since my master is taking my job away from me? I am not strong enough to dig ditches, and I am ashamed to beg.
