Luke 12:14 Context
12For the holy Ghost shal teach you in the same houre, what ye ought to say. 13¶ And one of the company saide vnto him, Master, speake to my brother, that he diuide the inheritance with me. 14And he said vnto him, Man, who made mee a iudge, or a diuider ouer you? 15And he said vnto them, Take heed and beware of couetousnes: for a mans life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16And he spake a parable vnto them, saying, The ground of a certaine rich man brought foorth plentifully.
