NET Notes

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the reports the man received about his manager.

2 tn Grk “him”; the referent (the manager) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 sn Although phrased as a question, the charges were believed by the owner, as his dismissal of the manager implies.

4 tn Or “stewardship”; the Greek word οἰκονομία (oikonomia) is cognate with the noun for the manager (οἰκονόμος, oikonomo").
