It's common for commentators to say that the steward simply decided to cut out his baksheesh, but the text of the Gospel doesn't support that interpretation, in my opinion. He asked the creditors, "How much do you owe my master?" and surely they would know.

Thanks for this interesting commentary. I always wondered if something was lost in the translation because this one always had me scratching my head. I’d like to show it to our Pastor and see what he thinks: He’s from Nigeria and has a wonderful sense of humor, so it would definitely be interesting to get his take on it.
