Luke 16:1

Context
The Parable of the Clever Steward

16:1 Jesus 1  also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who was informed of accusations 2  that his manager 3  was wasting 4  his assets.

1 tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn These are not formal legal charges, but reports from friends, acquaintances, etc.; Grk “A certain man was rich who had a manager, and this one was reported to him as wasting his property.”

3 sn His manager was the steward in charge of managing the house. He could have been a slave trained for the role.

4 tn Or “squandering.” This verb is graphic; it means to scatter (L&N 57.151).
