# Connecting Statement:

Jesus begins telling another parable. It is about a master and the manager of his debtors. This is still the same part of the story and the same day that began in [Luke 15:3](../15/03.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parables]])

# Jesus also said to the disciples
|
|
|
|
The last section was directed at Pharisees and scribes, though Jesus' disciples may have been part of the crowd listening.
|
|
|
|
# There was a certain rich man
|
|
|
|
This introduces a new character in the parable. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-participants]])
|
|
|
|
# it was reported to him
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "people reported to the rich man" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

|
# wasting his possessions
|
|
|
|
"foolishly managing the rich man's wealth"
