Lucas 12:18

18 Por fin dijo: “Ya sé lo que voy a hacer: derribaré mis graneros y construiré otros más grandes, donde pueda almacenar todo mi grano y mis bienes.

Lucas 12:18 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:18

And he said, this will I do
This was the resolution he came to, and which he took up, without consulting God, or asking leave of him:

I will pull down my barns, and build greater;
which was not a very wise one; for he might have let his present barns have stood, and have added new ones to them:

and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods;
he ascribes the increase of his substance to himself, and reckons them his own acquisitions, and entirely owing to his diligence and industry; and therefore calls them my fruits, and my goods; and accounts them his good things, his only good things; as worldly men place all good and happiness in outward enjoyments, having no notion of spiritual and eternal good things he determines to lay up all in his barns, for his own use and service, and nothing for God and his interest, nor any thing for the poor and their relief.

Lucas 12:18 In-Context

16 Entonces les contó esta parábola:—El terreno de un hombre rico le produjo una buena cosecha.

17 Así que se puso a pensar: “¿Qué voy a hacer? No tengo dónde almacenar mi cosecha”.

18 Por fin dijo: “Ya sé lo que voy a hacer: derribaré mis graneros y construiré otros más grandes, donde pueda almacenar todo mi grano y mis bienes.

19 Y diré: Alma mía, ya tienes bastantes cosas buenas guardadas para muchos años. Descansa, come, bebe y goza de la vida”.

20 Pero Dios le dijo: “¡Necio! Esta misma noche te van a reclamar la vida. ¿Y quién se quedará con lo que has acumulado?”
