Then one from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."

¹⁴

But He said to him, "Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"

¹⁵

And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses."

²²

Then He said to His disciples, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.

²³

Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

²⁴

Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?

²⁵

And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

²⁶

If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest?

²⁷

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

²⁸

If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?

²⁹

For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.

³¹

But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
