13. One of the men in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, our father just died and left some things for us. Tell my brother to share them with me.”
14. But Jesus said to him, “Who said I should be your judge or decide how to divide your father’s things between you two?”
15. Then Jesus said to them, “Be careful and guard against all kinds of greed. People do not get life from the many things they own.”
16. Then Jesus used this story: “There was a rich man who had some land. His land grew a very good crop of food.
17. He thought to himself, ‘What will I do? I have no place to keep all my crops.’
18. “Then he said, ‘I know what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger barns! I will put all my wheat and good things together in my new barns.
19. Then I can say to myself, I have many good things stored. I have saved enough for many years. Rest, eat, drink, and enjoy life!’
