15. Then he said to the crowd, “Don't be greedy! Owning a lot of things won't make your life safe.”
16. So Jesus told them this story:A rich man's farm produced a big crop,
17. and he said to himself, “What can I do? I don't have a place large enough to store everything.”
18. Later, he said, “Now I know what I'll do. I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones, where I can store all my grain and other goods.
19. Then I'll say to myself, ‘You have stored up enough good things to last for years to come. Live it up! Eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.’ ”
20. But God said to him, “You fool! Tonight you will die. Then who will get what you have stored up?”
21. “This is what happens to people who store up everything for themselves, but are poor in the sight of God.”
22. Jesus said to his disciples:I tell you not to worry about your life! Don't worry about having something to eat or wear.
