rwbs@Luke:16:1 @ And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.

rwbs@Luke:16:2 @ And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

rwbs@Luke:16:3 @ Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.

rwbs@Luke:16:4 @ I am resolved what to do, that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
