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]])

The last section was directed at Pharisees and scribes, though Jesus's disciples may have been part of the crowd listening.
