4 I know what I will do, so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5 And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6 ‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager. ‘Sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
