Luke 12:10-20

10 and whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
11 But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the hour itself what should be said.
13 And a person said to him out of the crowd, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
14 But he said to him, Man, who established me [as] a judge or a divider over you?
15 And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for [it is] not because a man is in abundance [that] his life is in his possessions.
16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
17 And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not [a place] where I shall lay up my fruits.
18 And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;
19 and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, be merry.
20 But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?
