Luke 12:13-21

Murdock(i) 13 And one of the assembly said to him: Teacher, tell my brother, to divide the inheritance with me. 14 But Jesus said to him: Man, who established me a judge and distributor over you? 15 And he said to his disciples: Beware of all avarice, for life consisteth not in abundance of riches. 16 And he spoke to them a similitude: The land of a certain rich man brought forth produce in abundance. 17 And he considered with himself, and said: What shall I do; for I have not where I can store up my produce? 18 And he said This will I do; I will pull down my storehouses, and build them larger; and there will I store up all my corn and my good things: 19 and I will say to my soul: My soul, thou hast good things in abundance, which are stored up for many years; take thy ease; eat, drink, and live in pleasure. 20 But God said to him: Thou void of reason! This night, thy soul will be required of thee; and to whom will belong these things provided by thee? 21 Such is he that layeth up treasures for himself, and is not rich in God.
