steward So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his {steward}, Call the labourers, and give them [their] hire, beginning from the last unto the first. steward Who then is that faithful and wise {steward}, whom [his] lord shall make ruler over his household, to give [them their] portion of meat in due season? steward And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a {steward}; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. steward And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer {steward}. steward Then the {steward} said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. steward And the lord commended the unjust {steward}, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. ~~~~~~
