Luke 12:10-23 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

10. “And everyone who shall speak a word against the Son of Aḏam, it shall be forgiven him, but to him who has blasphemed against the Set-apart Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.

11. “And when they bring you to the congregations and rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say,

12. for the Set-apart Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what you should say.”

13. And someone from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, speak to my brother, to divide the inheritance with me.”

14. But He said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or divider over you?”

15. And He said to them, “Mind, and beware of greed, because one’s life does not consist in the excess of his possessions.”

16. He then spoke a parable to them, saying, “The land of a certain rich man yielded well.

17. “And he was reasoning within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, because I have no room to store my crops?’

18. “And he said, ‘I am going to do this: pull down my storehouses and build greater, and store all my crops and my goods there,

19. then say to myself, “Life, you have many goods laid up for many years, take your ease, eat, drink, rejoice.” ’

20. “But Elohim said to him, ‘You mindless one! This night your life shall be demanded from you. And who shall own what you have prepared?’

21. “So is he who is storing up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward Elohim.”

22. And He said to His taught ones, “For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you shall eat; nor about the body, what you shall put on.

23. “The life is more than the food, and the body is more than the clothing.
