Gill's Notes on the Bible
I am resolved what to do,.... Or "I know what to do"; I have a scheme in my head, and I am determined to execute it, which will provide for me, and secure me a maintenance:
that when I am put out of the stewardship; drove from Jerusalem, and from the temple and the synagogues:
they may receive me into their houses; either Jews or Gentiles, after their dispersion.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I am resolved - He thought of his condition. He looked at the plans which occurred to him. He had been dishonest, and knew that he must lose his place. It would have been better to have âconsidered before this,â and resolved on a proper course of life, and to be faithful to his trust; and his perplexity here teaches us that dishonesty will sooner or later lead us into difficulty, and that the path of honesty is not only the ârightâ path, but is the path that is filled with most comfort and peace.
When I am put out ... - When I lose my place, and have no home and means of support.
They may receive me ... - Those who are now under me, and whom I am resolved now to favor. He had been dishonest to his master, and, having âcommencedâ a course of dishonesty, he did not shrink from pursuing it. Having injured his master, and being now detected, he was willing still farther to injure him, to take revenge on him for removing him from his place, and to secure his own interest still at his expense. He was resolved to lay these persons under such obligations, and to show them so much kindness, that they could not well refuse to return the kindness to him and give him a support. We may learn here,
- That one sin leads on to another, and that one act of dishonesty will be followed by many more, if there is opportunity.
- Men who commit one sin cannot get along âconsistentlyâ without committing many more. One lie will demand many more to make it âappearâ like the truth, and one act of cheating will demand many more to avoid detection. The beginning of sin is like the letting out of waters, and no man knows, if he indulges in one sin, where it will end.
- Sinners are selfish. They care more about âthemselvesâ than they do either about God or truth. If they seek salvation, it is only for selfish ends, and because they desire a comfortable âabodeâ in the future world rather than because they have any regard to God or his cause.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 16:4. They may receive me — That is, the debtors and tenants, who paid their debts and rents, not in money, but in kind; such as wheat, oil, and other produce of their lands.
