Luke 12:13-22

13Someone 1in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” 14But He said to him, “2Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over you?” 15Then He said to them, “3Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.” 16And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive. 17And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ 18Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19And I will say to my soul, “Soul, 4you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.”’ 20But God said to him, ‘5You fool! This very night 67your soul is required of you; and 8now who will own what you have prepared?’ 21So is the man who 9stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

22And He said to His disciples, “10For this reason I say to you, 11do not worry about your 12life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.
