Synoptic Sayings - The Rich Fool

198	The RICH FOOL
Matt	Mark	Luke 12
		16	And he told them a parable,
			saying,
			"The land of a rich man brought forth plentifully;
		17	and he thought to himself,
			'What shall I do,
			for I have nowhere to store my crops?'
		18	And he said,
			'I will do this:
			I will pull down my barns,
			and build larger ones;
			and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
		19	And I will say to my soul,
			'Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years;
			take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.'
		20	But God said to him, 'Fool!
			this night your soul is required of you;
			and the things you have prepared
			whose will they be?'
		21	So is he who lays up treasure for nimself,
			and is not rich toward God."
