Contextual Overview

1 Jesus also said to his followers, "Once there was a rich man who had a manager to take care of his business. This manager was accused of cheating him. 2 So he called the manager in and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give me a report of what you have done with my money, because you can't be my manager any longer.' 3 The manager thought to himself, ‘What will I do since my master is taking my job away from me? I am not strong enough to dig ditches, and I am ashamed to beg. 4 I know what I'll do so that when I lose my job people will welcome me into their homes.' 5 "So the manager called in everyone who owed the master any money. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you owe?' 6 He answered, ‘Eight hundred gallons of olive oil.' The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write four hundred gallons.' 7 Then the manager asked another one, ‘How much do you owe?' He answered, ‘One thousand bushels of wheat.' Then the manager said to him, ‘Take your bill and write eight hundred bushels.' 8 So, the master praised the dishonest manager for being clever. Yes, worldly people are more clever with their own kind than spiritual people are. 9 "I tell you, make friends for yourselves using worldly riches so that when those riches are gone, you will be welcomed in those homes that continue forever. 10 Whoever can be trusted with a little can also be trusted with a lot, and whoever is dishonest with a little is dishonest with a lot.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass,.... This is said by Christ, lest it should be thought by his saying, that the law and the prophets were until John, that they were no longer, nor of any more use; but were now abrogated and laid aside; whereas heaven and earth might sooner pass away, and the whole frame of nature be dissolved:

than one tittle of the law to fail; which, and the prophets, in all the precepts, promises, types, figures, prophecies, c. thereof, had their full accomplishment in the person, miracles, obedience, sufferings, and death of Christ see Matthew 5:18.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 5:18.
