Lc 16:1-8 (King James)

   ¹ And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. ² And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. ³ Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. ⁴ I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. ⁵ So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? ⁶ And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. ⁷ Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. ⁸ And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

Lc 16:1-8 (Stephanus 1550)

   ¹ ἕλεγεν δὲ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητάς αὐτοῦ ἄνθρωπός τις ἦν πλούσιος ὃς εἶχεν οἰκονόμον καὶ οὗτος διεβλήθη αὐτῷ ὡς διασκορπίζων τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ, ² καὶ φωνήσας αὐτὸν εἶπεν αὐτῷ τί τοῦτο ἀκούω περὶ σοῦ ἀπόδος τὸν λόγον τῆς οἰκονομίας σου οὐ γὰρ δύνήσῃ ἔτι οἰκονομεῖν ³ εἶπεν δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὁ οἰκονόμος τί ποιήσω ὅτι ὁ κύριός μου ἀφαιρεῖται τὴν οἰκονομίαν ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ σκάπτειν οὐκ ἰσχύω ἐπαιτεῖν αἰσχύνομαι ⁴ ἔγνων τί ποιήσω ἵνα ὅταν μετασταθῶ τῆς οἰκονομίας δέξωνταί με εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν ⁵ καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος ἕνα ἕκαστον τῶν χρεωφειλετῶν τοῦ κυρίου ἑαυτοῦ ἔλεγεν τῷ πρώτῳ πόσον ὀφείλεις τῷ κυρίῳ μου ⁶ ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ἑκατὸν βάτους ἐλαίου καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ δέξαι σου τὸ γράμμα, καὶ καθίσας ταχέως γράψον πεντήκοντα ⁷ ἔπειτα ἑτέρῳ εἶπεν σὺ δὲ πόσον ὀφείλεις ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ἑκατὸν κόρους σίτου καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ δέξαι σου τὸ γράμμα, καὶ γράψον ὀγδοήκοντα ⁸ καὶ ἐπῄνεσεν ὁ κύριος τὸν οἰκονόμον τῆς ἀδικίας ὅτι φρονίμως ἐποίησεν ὅτι οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου φρονιμώτεροι ὑπὲρ τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ φωτὸς εἰς τὴν γενεὰν τὴν ἑαυτῶν εἰσιν
