Luke 12:13-21
The Parable of the Rich Fool
13 A man in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide with me
the property our father left us.”
4 Jesus answered him, “Friend, who gave me the right to judge or to divide the
property between you two?” 15 And he went on to say to them all, “Watch out and
guard yourselves from every kind of greed; because your true life is not made up of
the things you own, no matter how rich you may be.”
16 Then Jesus told them this parable: “There was once a rich man who had land
which bore good crops. 17 He began to think to himself, ‘I don't have a place to
keep all my crops. What can I do? 18 This is what I will do,’ he told himself; ‘I will
tear down my barns and build bigger ones, where I will store the grain and all my
other goods. 19 Then I will say to myself, Lucky man! You have all the good things
you need for many years. Take life easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!’ 20 But God
said to him, ‘You fool! This very night you will have to give up your life; then who
will get all these things you have kept for yourself?’”
21 And Jesus concluded, “This is how it is with those who pile up riches for
themselves but are not rich in God's sight.” - Good News Translation
