“And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: ”
“He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.”
“He then told them a parable:“The land of a certain rich man produced an abundant crop,”
“And he spoke a similitude to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plenty of fruits.”
“And he said to them, in a story, The land of a certain man of great wealth was very fertile:”
“And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:”
And someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.”
But he said to him, “Man, who has appointed me as judge or arbitrator over you?”
So he said to them: “Be cautious and wary of all avarice. For a person’s life is not found in the abundance of the things that he possesses.”
Then he spoke to them using a comparison, saying: “The fertile land of a certain wealthy man produced crops.
And he thought within himself, saying: ‘What should I do? For I have nowhere to gather together my crops.’
And he said: ‘This is what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build larger ones. And into these, I will gather all the things that have been grown for me, as well as my goods.
And I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods, stored up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, and be cheerful.’
