13 Then someone from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." 14 But Jesus said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator between you two?" 15 Then he said to them, "Watch out and guard yourself from all types of greed, because one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." 16 He then told them a parable: "The land of a certain rich man produced an abundant crop, 17 so he thought to himself, 'What should I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' 18 Then he said, 'I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to myself, "You have plenty of goods stored up for many years; relax, eat, drink, celebrate!" ' 20 But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded back from you, but who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' 21 So it is with the one who stores up riches for himself, but is not rich toward God."
