* Jesus also talked to his disciples . He said , A rich man had a manager in charge of his things . People told the rich man that the manager was wasting his things . * he called the manager and asked him , "What is this I hear about you ? Tell me what you have done . You cannot be my manager any more ." * Then the manager thought to himself , "What will I do ? My master is taking my work away from me . I am not strong enough to go out and dig . I am ashamed to beg . * I know what I will do . Then , when I lose my job , these people will take me into their own homes ." * So he called to him everyone who owed his master something . He asked the first man , "How much do you owe my master ?" * He answered , "A hundred tins of oil ." The manager said , "Take your paper . Sit down right now and write on it fifty ." * Then he asked the next man , "How much do you owe ?" He said , "A hundred bags of grain ." The manager said , "Take your paper and write on it eighty ." * Then the master praised the manager who did wrong . He praised him because he did what was wise . The people of this world are wiser than the people who have the Light . They know how to get along with people like themselves . * I tell you this . Money may be a wrong thing , but use it to make friends for yourselves . Then when your money is spent , they will be glad to see you come into that place where people live for ever .
