Luke 12:20 in Context — Luke 12
18 Voici, dit-il, ce que je ferai: j’abattrai mes greniers, j’en bâtirai de plus grands, j’y amasserai toute ma récolte et tous mes biens;
19 et je dirai à mon âme:Mon âme, tu as beaucoup de biens en réserve pour plusieurs années; repose-toi, mange, bois, et réjouis-toi.
20 Mais Dieu lui dit:Insensé! Cette nuit même ton âme te sera redemandée; et ce que tu as préparé,pour qui cela sera-t-il?
21 Il en est ainsi de celui qui amasse des trésors pour lui-même, et qui n’est pas riche pour Dieu.
22 Jésus dit ensuite à ses disciples: C’est pourquoi je vous dis: Ne vous inquiétez pas pour votre vie de ce que vous mangerez, ni pour votre corps de quoi vous serez vêtus.
