12:18. And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns and will
build greater: and into them will I gather all things that are grown to
me and my goods.
12:19. And I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for
many years. Take thy rest: eat, drink, make good cheer.
12:20. But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy
soul of thee. And whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
12:21. So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich
towards God.
12:22. 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.
12:23. The life is more than the meat: and the body is more than the
raiment.
12:24. 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?
12:25. And which of you by taking thought can add to his stature one
cubit?
12:26. If then ye be not able to do so much as the least thing, why are
you solicitous for the rest?
12:27. 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.
12:28. 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?
12:29. And seek not what you shall eat or what you shall drink: and be
not lifted up on high.
12:30. For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your
Father knoweth that you have need of these things.
12:31. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice: and all
these things shall be added unto you.
12:32. Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give
you a kingdom.
12:33. Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags
which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no
thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth.
12:34. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
12:35. Let your loins be girt and lamps burning in your hands.
12:36. And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he
shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they
may open to him immediately.
12:37. Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall
find watching. Amen I say to you that he will gird himself and make them
sit down to meat and passing will minister unto them.
12:38. And if he shall come in the second watch or come in the third
watch and find them so, blessed are those servants.
12:39. But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour
the thief would come, he would surely watch and would not suffer his
house to be broken open.
12:40. Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not the Son of
man will come.
12:41. And Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us,
or likewise to all?
12:42. And the Lord said: Who thinkest thou is the faithful and wise
steward, whom his lord setteth over his family, to give them their
measure of wheat in due season?
