Luke 12:10-20 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
10
Yet those who speak against the Son of Man may be forgiven, but anyone who speaks blasphemies against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven.
11
"And when you are brought to trial in the synagogues and before rulers and authorities, don't worry about what to say in your defense,
12
for the Holy Spirit will teach you what needs to be said even as you are standing there."
13
Then someone called from the crowd, "Teacher, please tell my brother to divide our father's estate with me."
14
Jesus replied, "Friend, who made me a judge over you to decide such things as that?"
15
Then he said, "Beware! Don't be greedy for what you don't have. Real life is not measured by how much we own."
16
And he gave an illustration: "A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops.
17
In fact, his barns were full to overflowing.
18
So he said, 'I know! I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I'll have room enough to store everything.
19
And I'll sit back and say to myself, My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!'
20
"But God said to him, 'You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get it all?'
