CHAPTER 12

Saying against Greed.

13* Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.”

14He replied to him, “Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?”h

15Then he said to the crowd, “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.”i

Parable of the Rich Fool.

16Then he told them a parable. “There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest.

17He asked himself, ‘What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?’

18And he said, ‘This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods

19j and I shall say to myself, “Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!”’k

20But God said to him, ‘You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?’

21Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God.”*
