John Gill Commentary Luke 16:2

"And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward." — Luke 16:2 (ASV)

And he called him
By the prophets, sent one after another; by John the Baptist, by Christ himself, and by his apostles:

and said unto him, how is it that I hear this of thee ?
of your corrupting the word; of your covetousness, rapine, and theft; of your adultery and idolatry, and sad violation of the law; see (Romans 2:21–23)

give an account of your stewardship :
what improvement is made of your gifts; what care has been taken of my vineyard, the Jewish church; and where are the fruits that might be expected to have been received at your hands:

for you may be no longer steward .
This was foretold by the prophets, that God would write a "Loammi" upon the people of the Jews; that he would cut off three shepherds in one month, and particularly lay aside the idol shepherd, by whom the Pharisees may be meant, (Zechariah 11:8Zechariah 11:17) and by John the Baptist, who declared the axe was laid to the root of the tree, and it was just ready to be cut down, (Matthew 3:10Matthew 3:12) and by Christ, that the kingdom of God should be taken from them, (Matthew 21:43) and by the apostles, who turned from them to the Gentiles, (Acts 13:46) .
