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?
21
Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
