13. Then someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14. But Jesus said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator between you two?”
15. Then he said to them, “Watch out and guard yourself from all types of greed, because one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
16. He then told them a parable: “The land of a certain rich man produced an abundant crop,
17. so he thought to himself, ‘What should I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’
18. Then he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19. And I will say to myself, “You have plenty of goods stored up for many years; relax, eat, drink, celebrate!”’
20. But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded back from you, but who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
21. So it is with the one who stores up riches for himself, but is not rich toward God.”
22. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
23. For there is more to life than food, and more to the body than clothing.
24. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than the birds!
25. And which of you by worrying can add an hour to his life?
