路加福音 16:2 CUNPTS

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 16:1-13

the Right Use of Money Luke 16:1-13 We are all stewards, but how much we waste! Well might our Master deprive us of our post and trust! The unjust steward used his opportunity of ingratiating himself with the tenants at the landowner’s cost. He thus secured for himself a welcome to their homes, when his defalcations came to light and he was dismissed. Our Master did not commend his fraud, but pointed out that the children of this world are singularly alive to their future and prepare for its... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 16:1-31

The Master had a lesson to teach His disciples on the subject of earthly wealth, and He made use of this unjust steward for purposes of illustration only. The element in the action of the steward which our Lord commended was of foresight and singleness of aim. It was in this connection that He uttered the memorable words, "Ye cannot serve God and Mammon." The whole force, of course, is on the word "serve." When God is served, Mammon is used beneficently. When Mammon is served, the claims of... read more

THE MAN WHO ACTED WISELY‘There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; … And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely.’Luke 16:1-Ruth :This parable draws a lesson from the conduct of a worldly man. Not that we are advised to act as he did—but that as he showed wisdom and decision in his worldly concerns, so should we in spiritual matters.Consider the story. An accusation was made against a certain steward of having embezzled his master’s property. He was not at... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 16:2

CALLED TO ACCOUNT‘Give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.’ Luke 16:2 We call this parable the Parable of the Unjust Steward—i.e. a fraudulent, dishonest steward—and such undoubtedly he did become; but not deliberately dishonest up to the time when his lord called him suddenly to account. He was accused to his lord that he had wasted his goods; not a purposed and continued fraud, but a long-continued faithlessness to his trust. He had forgotten that he was the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 16:1-13

The Parable of The Astute Steward (16:1-13). Jesus now tells a parable about an astute but careless estate manager who is failing to do his job properly. It is reported that he is ‘wasting’ his lord’s goods by his carelessness, not misappropriating them. When he is told that he is to be replaced, and must render up his stewardship accounts, he hits on a scheme which will put him in a good light in the eyes of others who might employ him, and at the same time will impress his lord. He will... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 16:1-31

Men Must Live In The Light Of The Coming Of The Son of Man In His Glory (15:1-19:28). Having established in Section 1 that Jesus was born in Bethlehem in the city of David where He was proclaimed ‘Saviour’ and ‘Lord Messiah’; and in Section 2 that as ‘the Son of God’ Jesus had faced His temptations as to what His Messiahship would involve and defeated the Tempter; and that in Section 3 He had proclaimed in parables the secrets of ‘the Kingly Rule of God’; and had in Section 4 taught His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 16:2

“And he called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Render the account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.’ ” The landlord thus calls for him to come to see him and explains what he has heard about him. Then he tells him that he is intending to replace him and that he should therefore prepare accounts revealing the details of his stewardship. The impression given is that he is simply being replaced for mismanagement, not for open dishonesty. There is no... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 16:1-9

Luke 16:1-1 Samuel : . Parable of the Unjust Steward (Lk. only).— It has been suggested that a better title would be “ The Shrewd Agent.” At any rate the epithet “ unrighteous” has as much reference (if not more) to Luke 16:1 as to Luke 16:5-Judges :. A steward in danger of dismissal for mismanagement of his master’ s estate seeks to provide for the future by making friends with the tenants. That this is at his master’ s expense has nothing to do with the point of the parable- , it is a... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 16:1-8

Hierom of old thought this parable was very obscure; and Julian and other apostates, together with some of the heathen philosophers, took occasion from it to reproach the doctrine of Christ, as teaching and commanding acts of unrighteousness. But there will appear no such difficulty in it, nor cause of reproach to Christ and his doctrine from it, if we consider what I have before hinted, that it is no more necessary to a parable that all the actions in it supposed be just and honest, than that... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 16:1-13

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 16:1. And He said also.—This implies that there is a certain, though perhaps not very close, connection between the discourse in this chapter and that which precedes it. The chapter mainly consists of two parables bearing upon the right use of riches in this world with regard to the prospect of another world. This subject was specially appropriate to the two classes of publicans and Pharisees—the one of which amassed ill-gotten gains, and the other of which was covetous (Luke... read more
