Luke 12:13-22

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

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

15Then He said to them, “Watch out and guard yourselves against every form of greed; for not even when one has an overflowing abundance does his life consist of nor is it derived from his possessions.”

16Then He told them a parable, saying, “There was a rich man whose land was very fertile and productive.

17And he began thinking to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place [large enough in which] to store my crops?’

18Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my storehouses and build larger ones, and I will store all my grain and my goods there.

19And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many good things stored up, [enough] for many years; rest and relax, eat, drink and be merry (celebrate continually).” ’

20But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own all the things you have prepared?’

21So it is for the one who continues to store up and hoard possessions for himself, and is not rich [in his relationship] toward God.”

22Jesus said to His disciples, “For this reason I tell you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; or about your body, as to what you will wear.
