13And one out of the multitude said unto him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.

14But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

15And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man`s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

16And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

18And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods.

19And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
