13
One of the multitude said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
14
But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
15
He said to them, "Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man`s life doesn`t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."
16
He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
17
He reasoned within himself, saying, `What will I do, because I don`t have room to store my crops?`
18
He said, `This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19
I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."`
20
But God said to him, `You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared -- whose will they be?`
21
So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
