We are all only the stewards of the property and when we give of it to the needy, we are unjust stewards because we give what is not ours, and yet we do right." Some shook their heads over this interpretation; the rich and those learned in the Scriptures could not understand it.

But Jesus said in prayer: "I praise, O Father, that Thou revealest many things to the simple that are hidden from the worldly wise.

Blessed are those who are not offended by My teaching!" Now the disciples always discussed together anything that was not quite clear.

Thomas did not exactly understand what the Master meant by the word truth, by saying that He was the truth, that we must pray to God in truth, and that he who is of truth would understand God's word.
What did John, the youngest of them, say?
"The children of the world call it truth if they break a stone with a hammer and find that it is chalk; they call it truth to know the difference between the fishes in the sea and the worms on the earth, and to be able to measure the dimensions of the sky with figures; they call it truth when it is established that a seed of corn germinates, and a man's body turns into dust after death.

Truly, every one can see those things with his own eyes.
