The Parable of the Rich Fool

13 Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 But He said to him, a“Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”  
15 And He said to them, a“Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”  
16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.
17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’
18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, a“Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; beat, drink, and be merry.” ’  
20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night ayour soul will be required of you; bthen whose will those things be which you have provided?’  
21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, aand is not rich toward God.”  

Do Not Worry

22 Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, ado not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.  
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
