Luke 12:13-21

¹³Then someone from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

¹⁴But He said to him, “Man, who appointed Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”

¹⁵And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

¹⁶Then He told a parable to them, saying: “The field of a certain rich man produced well.

¹⁷And he reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, because I have nowhere to gather my crops?’

¹⁸So he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and I will build bigger ones, and there I will gather all my crops and my goods.

¹⁹And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid away for many years; relax; eat, drink, and be merry.” ’

²⁰But God said to him, ‘You fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have prepared?’

²¹“So is he who accumulates treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
