13Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” 14But he said to him, “Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?” 15And he said to them, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” 16Then he told them a parable: “The land of a rich man produced abundantly. 17And he thought to himself, ‘What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?’ 18Then he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ 20But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ 21So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.”
Translation: Someone out of the crowd said to him, "Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me." But he said to him, "Man, who placed me judge or divider over you?" And he said to them, "See and guard from all greed, for someone's life is not in the abundance of possessions."
But he said a parable to them, saying, "The region of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully. And he was reasoning in himself, saying, 'What might I do, for I do not have a place where I will store my fruits.' And he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns and I will build greater. And there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my life, 'Life, you have many goods laid up into many years. Rest, eat, drink, be merry.'
But God said to him, 'Fool. This night your life is demanded from you, and the things you have, whose will they be?' This (is) the one laying up treasures for himself and not being rich into God.'"
