Luke 12:13-21

Luke 12:13-21 TLV

Then someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” But Yeshua said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or arbitrator over you?” Then 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.” And Yeshua told them a parable, saying, “The land of a certain rich man produced good crops. And he began thinking to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do? I don’t have a place to store my harvest!’ And 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. And 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.”’ But God said to him, ‘You fool! Tonight your soul is being demanded back from you! And what you have prepared, whose will that be?’ So it is with the one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich in God.”
