10. “Whoever says a word against the Son of Man can be forgiven; but those who say evil things against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11. “When they bring you to be tried in the synagogues or before governors or rulers, do not be worried about how you will defend yourself or what you will say.
12. For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”
13. A man in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide with me the property our father left us.”
14. Jesus answered him, “My friend, who gave me the right to judge or to divide the property between you two?”
15. And he went on to say to them all, “Watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed; because a person's true life is not made up of the things he owns, no matter how rich he may be.”
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!’
20. But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night you will have to give up your life; then who will get all these things you have kept for yourself?’ ”
21. And Jesus concluded, “This is how it is with those who pile up riches for themselves but are not rich in God's sight.”
22. Then Jesus said to the disciples, “And so I tell you not to worry about the food you need to stay alive or about the clothes you need for your body.
