Luke 16:3 in Context — Luke 16
1 E dizia também a seus discípulos: Havia um certo homem rico, o qual tinha um mordomo; e este lhe foi acusado de fazer perder seus bens.
2 E ele, chamando-o, disse-lhe: Como ouço isto sobre ti? Presta contas de teu trabalho, porque não poderás mais ser [meu] mordomo.
3 E disse o mordomo para si mesmo: O que farei, agora que meu senhor está me tirando o trabalho de mordomo? Cavar eu não posso; mendigar eu tenho vergonha.
4 Eu sei o que farei, para que, quando eu for expulso do meu trabalho de mordomo, me recebam em suas casas.
5 E chamando a si a cada um dos devedores de seu senhor, disse ao primeiro: Quanto deves a meu senhor?
