This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 16:10. Ὁ πιστὸς, he who is faithful) The mention of mammon being repeated (Luk 16:9, and Luk 16:11), indicates that this has a close connection with what goes before. And yet it is not prudence now, as heretofore, but fidelity, which the Lord commends. For fidelity generates and directs prudence. Πιστὸς, ἀληθινὸν (נאמן), and πιστεύσει, are conjugates.-ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ, in that which is least) Theology concerns itself with the greatest and with the least things. For it is in this view that the antithetic word πολλῷ, “in much,” acquires also the force of a superlative, as רַב.-ἄδικος, unjust) In antithesis to πιστὸς, faithful.
