¹³ And one of the multitude said to him: Master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me.

¹⁴ But he said to him: Man, who hath appointed me judge, or divider, over you?

¹⁵ And he said to them: Take heed and beware of all covetousness; for a man's life doth not consist in the abundance of things which he possesseth.

²² And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on.

²³ The life is more than the meat, and the body is more than the raiment.

²⁴ Consider the ravens, for they sow not, neither do they reap, neither have they storehouse nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much are you more valuable than they?

²⁵ And which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?

²⁶ If then ye be not able to do so much as the least thing, why are you solicitous for the rest?

²⁷ Consider the lilies, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. But I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.

²⁸ Now if God clothe in this manner the grass that is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more you, O ye of little faith?

²⁹ And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink: and be not lifted up on high.

³⁰ For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things.

³¹ But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
