Parable of the Unjust Steward

Additionally, there are several parables only found in Luke.

The Good Samaritan, Friend at Midnight, Rich Fool, Barren Fig Tree, Lost Sheep, Lost Coin, Prodigal Son, Unjust Steward, Rich Man and Lazarus, Unjust Judge, Pharisee and Tax Collector, and Ten Coins and Servants.

It should be noted that only Luke includes details from the life of our Blessed Mother.

Her Magnificat, experience at the Annunciation, and presentation in the Temple, suggest he either had an intimate knowledge of these events directly from the Blessed Mother, or was privileged to receive a reliable and detailed account of them from another source.

Mm-hmm.

And the lord commended the unjust steward because he had done wisely.

Now, you hear different interpretations of this.

Like, this guy was paid on commission, and he was simply saying, like, "Don't pay me the commission.

Yeah.

That's not the main point I'm getting at here.

But 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.

It's a staggering statement, man.

"'Baron De Carty's great-grandfather was a Dublin attorney,' he remarked, "'which his name was Jeremiah McCarthy.

His prejudiced fellow-citizens called him the Unjust Steward, also the Bloody Attorney, and I believe that To Hell with McCarthy was quite a popular cry about the time of the Union.'" Mr. Taylor was a man of very wide, irregular reading and a tenacious memory.

He often used to wonder why he had not risen in the church.

He had once told Mr. Dixon a singular and drolatic anecdote concerning the bishop's college days, and he never discovered why the prelate did not bow according to his custom when the name of Taylor was called at the next visitation.
