12:13 Then ¹  someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell ²  my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 12:14 But Jesus ³  said to him, “Man, ⁴  who made me a judge or arbitrator between you two?” ⁵  12:15 Then ⁶  he said to them, “Watch out and guard yourself from ⁷  all types of greed, ⁸  because one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” 12:16 He then ⁹  told them a parable: ¹⁰  “The land of a certain rich man produced ¹¹  an abundant crop, 12:17 so ¹²  he thought to himself, ¹³  ‘What should I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ ¹⁴  12:18 Then ¹⁵  he said, ‘I ¹⁶  will do this: I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 12:19 And I will say to myself, ¹⁷  “You have plenty of goods stored up for many years; relax, eat, drink, celebrate!”’ 12:20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life ¹⁸  will be demanded back from ¹⁹  you, but who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ ²⁰  12:21 So it is with the one who stores up riches for himself, ²¹  but is not rich toward God.”

12:22 Then ²²  Jesus ²³  said to his ²⁴  disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry ²⁵  about your ²⁶  life, what you will eat, or about your ²⁷  body, what you will wear. 12:23 For there is more to life than food, and more to the body than clothing.
