LUKE 12:13
             Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the
       inheritance with me.“
14
     Jesus replied, "Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?" 15
       Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of
       greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.“
16
     And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a
       good crop. 17 He thought to himself, `What shall I do? I have no place to
       store my crops.‘
18
     "Then he said, `This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger
       ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I'll say to
       myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life
       easy; eat, drink and be merry." ‘
12:20
        "But God said to him, `You fool! This very night your life will be demanded
        from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?‘
21
     "This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is
        not rich toward God.“
22
     Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about
        your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 Life
        is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens:
        They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds
        them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by
        worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26 Since you cannot do this very
        little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
12:27
        "Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell
        you, not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of
        these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is
        here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more
        will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart
        on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the
        pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that
        you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be
        given to you as well.
12:32
        "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to
        give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the
        poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a
        treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief
        comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is,
        there your heart will be also.

Jesus teaches against greed and worry

  • 1. LUKE 12:13 Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.“ 14 Jesus replied, "Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?" 15 Then he said to them, "Watch out!

I have no place to store my crops.‘ 18 "Then he said, `This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." ‘
  • 2. 12:20 "But God said to him, `You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?‘ 21 "This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God.“ 22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
  • 3. 12:27 "Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
  • 4. 12:32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
