The Parable of the Rich Fool

Luke 12:13-21
13Then someone from the crowd said to him, Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me. 14But he said to him, Man, who appointed me judge or arbiter over you? 15Then he said to them, See and guard yourselves from all greed, for life does not consist for anyone in abundance from his possessions. 16Then he told them a parable: The land of a certain rich man produced abundantly. 17And he thought to himself, saying, "What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?" 18And he said, This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry. 20But God said to him, Fool! This very night your life is demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be? 21So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.
