Luke 12:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ Jesus then told them a story: ‘A man had some very good ground, where he planted seeds. The plants grew very well. When they became ripe, he had much more than he planted. ¹⁷ He thought about how much he would soon have. “I have nowhere to store all the food from my plants,” he said to himself. ¹⁸ But then he decided what to do. He thought, “I will pull down the building where I now store my food. Then I will build a bigger place to store it all, as well as everything else that is mine.
