Luqas (Luke) 12:13-21

Luqas (Luke) 12:13-21 TS2009

And someone from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, speak to my brother, to divide the inheritance with me.” But He said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or divider over you?” And He said to them, “Mind, and beware of greed, because one’s life does not consist in the excess of his possessions.” He then spoke a parable to them, saying, “The land of a certain rich man yielded well. “And he was reasoning within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, because I have no room to store my crops?’ And he said, ‘I am going to do this: pull down my storehouses and build greater, and store all my crops and my goods there,” then say to myself, “Life, you have many goods laid up for many years, take your ease, eat, drink, rejoice.” ’ “But Elohim said to him, ‘You mindless one! This night your life shall be demanded from you. And who shall own what you have prepared?’ “So is he who is storing up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward Elohim.”
