New Century Version

Luke 12:12-18 New Century Version (NCV)

12. At that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you must say.”

13. Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide with me the property our father left us.”

14. But Jesus said to him, “Who said I should judge or decide between you?”

15. Then Jesus said to them, “Be careful and guard against all kinds of greed. Life is not measured by how much one owns.”

16. Then Jesus told this story: “There was a rich man who had some land, which grew a good crop.

17. He thought to himself, ‘What will I do? I have no place to keep all my crops.’

18. Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and other goods.
