Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “+w Beware|strong=“G4337”+w* +w of|strong=“G1722”+w* +w the|strong=“G1722”+w* +w yeast|strong=“G2219”+w* +w of|strong=“G1722”+w* +w the|strong=“G1722”+w* +w Pharisees|strong=“G5330”+w*, +w which|strong=“G3739”+w* +w is|strong=“G1510”+w* +w hypocrisy|strong=“G5272”+w*.

13

One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14

But he said to him, “+w Man|strong=“G5101”+w*, +w who|strong=“G5101”+w* +w made|strong=“G2525”+w* +w me|strong=“G1473”+w* +w a|strong=“G1909”+w* +w judge|strong=“G2923”+w* +w or|strong=“G2228”+w* +w an|strong=“G2228”+w* +w arbitrator|strong=“G3312”+w* +w over|strong=“G1909”+w* +w you|strong=“G5210”+w*?”

He spoke a parable to them, saying, “+w The|strong=“G1161”+w* ground +w of|strong=“G5100”+w* +w a|strong=“G1161”+w* +w certain|strong=“G5100”+w* +w rich|strong=“G4145”+w* +w man|strong=“G5100”+w* produced abundantly.
