And his master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light.I'll admit, I've never really understood this verse. First, why is the bad manager being praised? He's effectively stolen more money from his master. Is he being praised for this vindictiveness? Or is he being praised for finding a way to get a new job, but that's by scamming his present one?
Also, who's more shrewd? The wording is confusing to me. I am uncertain if the sons of the age are more shrewd towards each other than they are towards those of the light, or that they are just more shrewd overall than the sons of the light are.
