16. Then Jesus told them this parable: “There was once a rich man who had land which bore good crops.
17. He began to think to himself, ‘I haven't anywhere to keep all my crops. What can I do?
18. This is what I will do,’ he told himself; ‘I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, where I will store my corn and all my other goods.
19. Then I will say to myself, Lucky man! You have all the good things you need for many years. Take life easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!’
