Then someone in the crowd said to him , “
Teacher ,
tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me .”
*
But Jesus said to him ,“
Mister ,
who appointed me to be a judge or arbitrator over you people ?”
*
Then he said to them ,“
Be careful to guard yourselves against every kind of greed ,
for a person '
s life doesn '
t consist of the amount of possessions he has .”
*
Then he told them a parable .
He said ,“
The land of a certain rich man produced good crops .
*
So he began to think to himself , ‘
What should I do ,
since I have no place to store my crops ?’
*
Thenhe said , ‘
This is what I '
ll do .
I '
ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones ,
and I '
ll store all my grain and goods in them .
*
Then I '
ll say to my soul , “
Soul ,
you '
ve stored up plenty of good things for many years .
Take it easy ,
eat ,
drink ,
and enjoy yourself .”’
*
ButGod said to him , ‘
You fool !
This very night your life will be demanded from you .
Now who will get the things you '
ve accumulated ?’
*
That '
s how it is with the person who stores up treasures for himself and isn '
t rich toward God .”
