Jesus Warns Against Selfishness

¹³ Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide with me the ·property our father left us [family inheritance].”

¹⁴ But Jesus said to him, “[^LMan,] Who ·said I should judge or decide [appointed me judge or arbiter] between you?” ¹⁵ Then Jesus said to them, “Be careful and guard against all kinds of greed. Life ·is not measured by [does not consist of] how much one owns.”
