14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge, or a divider over you?
15 Wherefore he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of [a]covetousness: for though a man have abundance, yet his [b]life standeth not in his riches.
16 [c]And he put forth a parable unto them, saying, The [d]ground of a certain rich man brought forth fruits plenteously.
