And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Entonces les dijo: 'Tengan cuidado y protéjanse de toda avaricia. La vida de una persona no consiste en la abundancia de las cosas que posee.'
Jesús advierte que la vida no se define por las posesiones materiales, sino que debemos guardarnos de la avaricia.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the context of Luke 12, Jesus was addressing a crowd after being asked to settle a family dispute over inheritance, which highlights the everyday tensions around wealth in first-century Jewish society. This teaching warns against covetousness, a common temptation in a culture where economic disparities were exacerbated by Roman occupation and social hierarchies. Jesus uses this moment to redirect focus from material accumulation to spiritual matters, as Luke, a Gentile physician and companion of the apostle Paul, records in his Gospel to emphasize Jesus' message to both Jews and Gentiles.
