Jesus said I am the vine and my father is the husbandman. A farmer's job is to water the plants when they need it. Which could certainly be considered "dispensing". The farmer's job includes applying fertilizer as needed, weed killer, and medicine to combat various diseases that plants get.

Second, the economy of the husbandman who has a vineyard is completely wrapped up in and focused on the vine. Everything that he does is for that vine to produce fruit.

So I don't know where this generalization that Jesus talked more about stewardship than about dispensing comes from?
