So
<2532>

<4341> (5666)

every
<1538>

one
<1520>

of his
<1438>

lord's
<2962>

debtors
<5533>

[unto him], and said
<3004> (5707)

unto the first
<4413>_,

How much
<4214>

owest thou
<3784> (5719)

unto my
<3450>

lord
<2962>_?

16:6

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)_,

An hundred
<1540>

measures
<943>

of oil
<1637>_.

And
<2532>

he said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

Take
<1209> (5663)

thy
<4675>

bill
<1121>_,

and
<2532>

sit down
<2523> (5660)

quickly
<5030>_,

and write
<1125> (5657)

fifty
<4004>_.

<1899>

said he
<2036> (5627)

to another
<2087>_,

And
<1161>

how much
<4214>

owest
<3784> (5719)

thou
<4771>_?

And
<1161>

And
<2532>

he said
<3004> (5719)

unto him
<846>_,

Take
<1209> (5663)

thy
<4675>

bill
<1121>_,

and
<2532>

write
<1125> (5657)

fourscore
<3589>_.

{measures: the word here interpreted a measure in the original containeth about fourteen bushels and two quarts}

16:8

And
<2532>

the lord
<2962>

commended
<1867> (5656)

the unjust
<93>

steward
<3623>_,

because
<3754>

he had done
<4160> (5656)

wisely
<5430>_:

for
<3754>

the children
<5207>

of this
<5127>

world
<165>

are
<1526> (5748)

in
<1519>

their
<1438>

generation
<1074>

wiser
<5429>

than
<5228>

the children
<5207>

of light
<5457>_.
