Luke 12:12-17 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

12. The Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”

13. One of the men in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, our father just died and left some things for us. Tell my brother to share them with me.”

14. But Jesus said to him, “Who said I should be your judge or decide how to divide your father’s things between you two?”

15. Then Jesus said to them, “Be careful and guard against all kinds of greed. People do not get life from the many things they own.”

16. Then Jesus used this story: “There was a rich man who had some land. His land grew a very good crop of food.

17. He thought to himself, ‘What will I do? I have no place to keep all my crops.’
