Luke 12 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

“Now ^G1161 I say ^G3004 to you, My friends ^G5384, do not be ^G5399 afraid ^G5399 of those ^G3588 who kill ^G615 the body ^G4983, and after ^G3326 that have ^G2192 nothing ^G3361 G5100 more ^G4053 that they can do ^G4160.

“Now ^G1161 I say ^G3004 to you, everyone ^G3956 who ^G3739 confesses ^G3670 Me before ^G1715 people ^G444, the Son ^G5207 of Man ^G444 will also ^G2532 confess ^G3670 him before ^G1715 the angels ^G32 of God ^G2316;

Now ^G1161 someone ^G5100 [fn]in the crowd ^G3793 said ^G3004 to Him, “Teacher ^G1320, tell ^G3004 my brother ^G80 to divide ^G3307 the family inheritance ^G2817 with me.”

And He said ^G3004 to His disciples ^G3101, “For this ^G3778 reason ^G1223 I tell ^G3004 you, [fn]do not worry ^G3309 about ^G3588 your [fn]life ^G5590, as to what ^G5101 you are to eat ^G2068; nor ^G3366 for your body ^G4983, as to what ^G5101 you are to wear ^G1746.

“Sell ^G4453 your possessions ^G5225 and give ^G1325 to charity ^G1654; make ^G4160 yourselves ^G1438 money ^G905 belts ^G905 that do not wear ^G3822 out ^G3822, an inexhaustible ^G413 treasure ^G2344 in heaven ^G3772, where ^G3699 no ^G3756 thief ^G2812 comes ^G1448 near ^G1448 nor ^G3761 does a moth ^G4597 destroy ^G1311.

“[fn]Be prepared ^G4024, and keep your lamps ^G3088 lit ^G2545.

“But [fn]be sure ^G1097 of this ^G3778, that if ^G1487 the head ^G3617 of ^G3617 the ^G3617 house ^G3617 had known ^G6063 at what ^G4169 hour ^G5610 the thief ^G2812 was coming ^G2064, he would not have allowed ^G863 his house ^G3624 to be broken ^G1358 into.

Peter ^G4074 said ^G3004, “Lord ^G2962, are You telling ^G3004 this ^G3778 parable ^G3850 to us, or ^G2228 to everyone ^G3956 else as ^G2532 well ^G2532?”

“I [fn]have come ^G2064 to cast ^G906 fire ^G4442 upon the earth ^G1093; and [fn]how ^G5101 I wish ^G2309 it were already ^G2235 kindled ^G381!

And He was also ^G2532 saying ^G3004 to the crowds ^G3793, “Whenever ^G3752 you see ^G3708 a cloud ^G3507 rising ^G393 [fn]in the west ^G1424, you immediately ^G2112 say ^G3004, ‘A shower ^G3655 is coming ^G2064,’ and so ^G3779 it turns ^G1096 out ^G1096.

“And why ^G5101 do you not even ^G2532 judge ^G2919 by yourselves ^G1438 what ^G3588 is right ^G1342?
