Luke 16:1-8 - "Luke 16:1-8

Jesus told his disciples: "There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. So he called him in and asked him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.'

The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg-- I know what I'll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.'

So he called in each one of his master's debtors. He asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'

'Nine hundred gallons of olive oil,' he replied. The manager told him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.'

Then he asked the second, 'And how much do you owe?'

'A thousand bushels of wheat,' he replied. He told him, 'Take your bill and make it eight hundred.'

The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light."

Create a digital artwork representation of a biblically themed scene. The scene contains several individuals engaging in a discussion. A wealthy Caucasian man calls his Middle-Eastern manager to account for his management of resources because complaints have reached him about waste. After the meeting, the visibly worried manager reckons he's too weak to do manual labor and too proud to beg. So, he devises a plan to win favor from his master's debtors. He meets each one, starting with a Hispanic man who owes 900 gallons of olive oil. The manager graciously reduces his debt to 450 gallons. Then, he confronts a South Asian man about his debt of a thousand bushels of wheat and reduces it to 800 bushels. Finally, the rich man commends the manager, even though his actions were shrewd.
