The request to divide an inheritance, and the parable of the rich fool
유업을 나누어 달라는 청과 어리석은 부자의 비유
Luke 12:13–21: one of the multitude says to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” He answers, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?” and says to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.” He speaks a parable: the ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly, and he reasoned within himself that he had no room to store his crops; he would pull down his barns, build bigger ones, store all his grain and his goods there, and tell his soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.” But God said to him, “You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?” So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
