The Parable Of The Rich Fool
Luke 12:13-21
13. Someone in the crowd said to Him, Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.
14. But He said to him, Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over you?
15. Then He said to them, Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.
16. And He told them a parable, saying, The land of a rich man was very productive.
17. And he began reasoning to himself, saying, What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?
18. Then he said, This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.
20. But God said to him, You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?
21. So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
