Luke 12:10-20

10 Anyone who speaks a word against the Human One will be forgiven, but whoever insults the Holy Spirit won't be forgiven.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, rulers, and authorities, don't worry about how to defend yourself or what you should say.
12 The Holy Spirit will tell you at that very moment what you must say."

Warning against greed

13 Someone from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
14 Jesus said to him, " Man, who appointed me as judge or referee between you and your brother?"
15 Then Jesus said to them, " Watch out! Guard yourself against all kinds of greed. After all, one's life isn't determined by one's possessions, even when someone is very wealthy."
16 Then he told them a parable: " A certain rich man's land produced a bountiful crop.
17 He said to himself, What will I do? I have no place to store my harvest!
18 Then he thought, Here's what I'll do. I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. That's where I'll store all my grain and goods.
19 I'll say to myself, You have stored up plenty of goods, enough for several years. Take it easy! Eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.
20 But God said to him, ‘Fool, tonight you will die. Now who will get the things you have prepared for yourself?'
