“قالَ الربُّ يَسوع لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «كانَ رَجُلٌ غَنِيٌّ لَهُ وَكِيل. فَوُشِيَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يُبَدِّدُ مُقْتَنَيَاتِهِ. فَدَعَاهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: مَا هذَا الَّذي أَسْمَعُهُ عَنْكَ؟ أَدِّ حِسَابَ وِكَالَتِكَ، فَلا يُمْكِنُكَ بَعْدَ اليَوْمِ أَنْ تَكُونَ وَكِيلاً. فَقَالَ الوَكِيلُ في نَفْسِهِ: مَاذَا أَفْعَل؟ لأَنَّ سَيِّدي يَنْزِعُ عَنِّي الوِكَالة، وأَنَا لا أَقْوَى عَلَى الفِلاَحَة، وَأَخْجَلُ أَنْ أَسْتَعْطي! قَدْ عَرَفْتُ مَاذَا أَفْعَل، حَتَّى إِذَا عُزِلْتُ مِنَ الوِكَالَةِ يَقْبَلُنِي النَّاسُ في بُيُوتِهِم. فَدَعَا مَدْيُونِي سَيِّدِهِ واحِدًا فَوَاحِدًا وَقَالَ لِلأَوَّل: كَمْ عَلَيْكَ لِسَيِّدي؟ فَقَال: مِئَةُ بَرْمِيلٍ مِنَ الزَّيْت. قَالَ لَهُ الوَكيل: إِلَيْكَ صَكَّكَ! إِجْلِسْ حَالاً وٱكْتُبْ: خَمْسِين. ثُمَّ قَالَ لآخَر: وَأَنْتَ، كَمْ عَلَيْك؟ فَقَال: مِئَةُ كِيسٍ مِنَ القَمْح. فَقالَ لَهُ الوَكيل: إِلَيْكَ صَكَّكَ! وٱكْتُبْ: ثَمَانِين. فَمَدَحَ السَّيِّدُ الوَكِيلَ الخَائِن، لأَنَّهُ تَصَرَّفَ بِحِكْمَة. فَإِنَّ أَبْنَاءَ هذَا الدَّهْرِ أَكْثَرُ حِكْمَةً مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ النُّورِ في تَعَامُلِهِم مَعَ جِيلِهِم. وَأَنَا أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِصْنَعُوا لَكُم أَصْدِقاءَ بِالمَالِ الخَائِن، حَتَّى إِذا نَفَد، قَبِلَكُمُ الأَصْدِقاءُ في المَظَالِّ الأَبَدِيَّة. أَلأَمِينُ في القَلِيلِ أَمينٌ في الكَثِير. والخَائِنُ في القَلِيلِ خَائِنٌ أَيْضًا في الكَثير. إِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ في المَالِ الخَائِن، فَمَنْ يَأْتَمِنُكُم عَلَى الخَيْرِ الحَقِيقيّ؟ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ في مَا لَيْسَ لَكُم، فَمَنْ يُعْطِيكُم مَا هُوَ لَكُم”؟

Bible Quotation For Today/The Parable of The Dishonest Manager/His master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 160-12: “The Lord Jesus said to the disciples: ‘There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property. So he summoned him and said to him, “What is this that I hear about you? Give me an account of your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.” Then the manager said to himself, “What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do so that, when I am dismissed as manager, people may welcome me into their homes.” So, summoning his master’s debtors one by one, he asked the first, “How much do you owe my master?” He answered, “A hundred jugs of olive oil.” He said to him, “Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.” Then he asked another, “And how much do you owe?” He replied, “A hundred containers of wheat.” He said to him, “Take your bill and make it eighty.”And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes. ‘Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?”
