Luke 16:3 in Context — Luke 16
1 Jésus dit aussi à ses disciples: Un homme riche avait un économe, qui lui fut dénoncé comme dissipant ses biens.
2 Il l’appela, et lui dit: Qu’est-ce que j’entends dire de toi? Rends compte de ton administration, car tu ne pourras plus administrer mes biens.
3 L’économe dit en lui-même: Que ferai-je, puisque mon maître m’ôte l’administration de ses biens? Travailler à la terre? Je ne le puis. Mendier? J’en ai honte.
4 Je sais ce que je ferai, pour qu’il y ait des gens qui me reçoivent dans leurs maisons quand je serai destitué de mon emploi.
5 Et, faisant venir chacun des débiteurs de son maître, il dit au premier: Combien dois-tu à mon maître?
