*
Then one from the crowd said to Him , "
Teacher ,
tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me ."
*
But He said to him , "
Man ,
who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you ?"
*
And He said to them , "
Take heed and beware of covetousness ,
for one '
s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses ."
*
Then He spoke a parable to them ,
saying : "
The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully .
*
And he thought within himself ,
saying , "
What shall I do ,
since I have no room to store my crops ?'
*
So he said , "
I will do this :
I will pull down my barns and build greater ,
and there I will store all my crops and my goods .
*
And I will say to my soul , "
Soul ,
you have many goods laid up for many years ;
take your ease ;
eat ,
drink ,
and be merry ."'
*
But God said to him , "
Fool !
This night your soul will be required of you ;
then whose will those things be which you have provided ?'
* "
So is he who lays up treasure for himself ,
and is not rich toward God ."
