Luke 12:13-22

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

14But Yeshua said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or arbitrator over you?”

15Then He said to them, “Watch out! Be on guard against all kinds of greed, because one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the material goods he possesses.”

16And Yeshua told them a parable, saying, “The land of a certain rich man produced good crops.

17And he began thinking to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do? I don’t have a place to store my harvest!’

18And he said, ‘Here’s what I’ll do! I’ll tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I’ll store all my grain and my goods.

19And I’ll say to myself, ’O my soul, you have plenty of goods saved up for many years! So take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry.”’

20But God said to him, ‘You fool! Tonight your soul is being demanded back from you! And what you have prepared, whose will that be?’

21So it is with the one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich in God.”

22Then Yeshua said to His disciples, “So I say to you, do not worry about life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will wear.
