Luke 12:14-16

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴ But He told him, Man, who has appointed Me a judge or umpire and divider over you?

¹⁵ And He said to them, Guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness (the immoderate desire for wealth, the greedy longing to have more); for a man’s life does not consist in and is not derived from possessing ^[a]overflowing abundance or that which is ^[b]over and above his needs.

¹⁶ Then He told them a parable, saying, The land of a rich man was fertile and yielded plentifully.
