摘要：

The parable of the unrighteous steward encouraged rich individuals outside the Christian community to use their wealth to make friends of Jesus' poor disciples, specifically by reducing their debts, so that in the eschatological kingdom Jesus' disciples would receive these benefactors into their eternal dwellings. It had its setting in the efforts of early Palestinian Christians to enlist the financial support of the wealthy. Since many of these did not wish to sell all their possessions and donate the proceeds to the Christian community, this parable suggested an alternative way that the rich could use their wealth to assist the community.
