Luke 16

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 16 of 24

1 And He also said to His disciples, A certain man was rich; and he had a steward, and this one was accused to him as dissipating his goods.

2 And calling him, he said to him, What is this I hear about you? Give the account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.

3 And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, for my lord is taking away the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
