“‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he said.
“‘Take your invoice,’ he told him, ‘and write 80.’
8 “The master praised the unrighteous manager(A) because he had acted astutely. For the sons of this age(B) are more astute than the sons of light(C) in dealing with their own people.[a] 9 And I tell you, make friends(D) for yourselves by means of the unrighteous money(E) so that when it fails,[b] they may welcome you into eternal dwellings.
