Luke 12:15 in Context — Luke 12
13 Quelqu’un dit à Jésus, du milieu de la foule: Maître, dis à mon frère de partager avec moi notre héritage.
14 Jésus lui répondit: O homme, qui m’a établi pour être votre juge, ou pour faire vos partages?
15 Puis il leur dit: Gardez-vous avec soinde toute avarice; car la vie d’un homme ne dépend pas de ses biens, fût-il dans l’abondance.
16 Et il leur dit cette parabole: Les terres d’un homme riche avaient beaucoup rapporté.
17 Et il raisonnait en lui-même, disant: Que ferai-je? Car je n’ai pas de place pour serrer ma récolte.
