Luke 12:13-15

Good News Translation

The Parable of the Rich Fool

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

¹⁴ Jesus answered him, “Friend, who gave me the right to judge or to divide the property between you two?” ¹⁵ And he went on to say to them all, “Watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed; because your true life is not made up of the things you own, no matter how rich you may be.”
