16 And he told them a parable, saying, ^d“The land of a rich man produced plentifully, 17 and he thought to himself, ^e‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ 18 And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my ^fbarns 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 ^gfor many years; relax, ^heat, drink, be merry.”’ 20 But God said to him, ⁱ‘Fool! ^jThis night ^kyour soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, ^lwhose will they be?’ 21 So is the one ^mwho lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

The Rich Man and Lazarus

19 “There was a rich man who was clothed in ⁿpurple and fine linen and ^owho feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate ^pwas laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with ^qwhat fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by ^rthe angels ^sto Abraham’s side. ^{▼▼Greek bosom; also verse 23} The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in ^uHades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and ^vsaw Abraham far off and Lazarus ^wat his side. 24 And he called out, ^x‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and ^ycool my tongue, for ^zI am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that ^aayou in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.

Luke 18:11-14

11 The Pharisee, ^abstanding by himself, prayed ^{▼▼Or standing, prayed to himself} ^adthus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 ^aeI fast twice a week; ^afI give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax collector, ^agstanding far off, ^ahwould not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but ^aibeat his breast, saying, ‘God, ^ajbe merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For ^akeveryone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
