Luke 12

Gen Z: Luke 12

1So like, a whole squad of peeps gathered, stacked on each other, and Jesus was like, "Yo, watch out for the Pharisees' rizz, it's just sus hypocrisy."

2For real, nothing stays undercover; everything hidden is gonna pop off and be known.

3Whatever you whispered in the dark is gonna be lit in the light; what you said in secret is gonna be shouted from the rooftops.

4And I’m telling you, fam, don’t sweat those who can just take your body; after that, they got nada.

5But let me drop some knowledge: fear the One who can toss you into the afterlife; fr, you should fear Him.

6Aren’t five sparrows just two coins? And not even one of them slips past God’s notice?

7Even the hairs on your head are counted, so chill: you’re way more valuable than a bunch of sparrows.

8Also, if you rep me in front of others, I’ll back you up in front of God’s angels, no cap.

9But if you ghost me in front of peeps, I’ll have to ghost you in front of God’s angels.

10And if anyone talks smack about the Son of Man, it’s all good; but if you disrespect the Holy Spirit, that’s a whole different vibe, and it won’t be forgiven.

11When they drag you to the synagogues and courts, don’t even stress about what to say, fam.

12The Holy Spirit’s got you covered, teaching you in that moment what to drop.

13One dude in the squad was like, "Yo, Master, tell my bro to split the inheritance with me."

14And Jesus was like, "Bro, who made me your judge or divider?"

15He told them, "Watch out for greed, fam; life ain’t all about flexing what you own."

16Then he dropped a story, saying, "A rich dude’s land was vibing hard, producing mad crops."

17He was thinking to himself, "What do I do? No space to stash my harvest."

18So he was like, "Bet, I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones to store all my stuff."

19And he said to his soul, "Chill, you’ve got enough stacked for years; just eat, drink, and vibe."

20But God was like, "You fool, tonight your soul’s getting taken; then who’s gonna claim all that stuff?"

21So it’s like, if you’re stacking up treasure for yourself and not flexing for God, that’s sus.

22He told his squad, "Yo, don’t stress about your life, what you’ll munch on, or what drip you’ll wear."

23Life’s way more than just food, and your body’s way more than just fits.

24Check out the ravens: they don’t plant or harvest, no storage or anything, and God’s got them fed. You’re way more fire than those birds!

25Which of you can level up your height just by worrying?

26If you can’t even handle the small stuff, why stress about the rest, fr?

27Look at the lilies, they don’t grind or spin; yet, I’m telling you, Solomon wasn’t dripped out like one of these.

28If God’s styling the grass, which is here today and gone tomorrow, how much more will He hook you up, you little faith squad?

29Don’t be trippin’ on what to eat or drink, and don’t be having those doubtful vibes.

30All these things are what the world’s chasing after, and your Father knows you need them, periodt.

31But fr, go after the kingdom of God, and everything else will just come through.

32No cap, don’t stress, fam; your Dad’s got your back and wants to hook you up with the kingdom.

33Sell your stuff and help others out; stack up treasures in the sky that won’t fade, where no thief can slide in or moth messes it up.

34Where your treasure’s at, that’s where your heart’s gonna vibe too.

35Keep your game tight and your lights lit, fam;

36And be like those peeps waiting for their boss, ready to open the door when he shows up from the party.

37Blessed are those servants who are on it when the boss arrives: I’m telling you, he’ll suit up and serve them a feast.

38And if he rolls in during the late or super late shift, those servants are blessed for being ready.

39Just know, if the homeowner had a clue when the thief was coming, he would’ve stayed woke and kept his place safe.

40So, be ready too: the Son of Man is coming at a time you least expect, periodt.

41Then Peter was like, "Yo Lord, are you dropping this story on us, or is it for everyone?"

42And the Lord was like, "So who's the real MVP, the faithful and wise steward, who I’ll make in charge of the whole squad, serving them their food on time?"

43Blessed is that servant who’s grinding when his boss shows up.

44For real, I’m telling you, he’s gonna be made ruler over everything he owns.

45But if that servant thinks in his heart, "My boss is taking forever to show up," and starts being wild with the crew, eating and drinking, and getting lit;

46The boss of that servant is gonna roll up on a day he’s not ready for, at an hour he’s not expecting, and will totally catch him off guard, giving him a spot with the non-believers.

47And that servant who knew what his boss wanted but didn’t get ready, or do his job, is gonna get hit with a lot of consequences.

48But the one who didn’t know and still messed up is gonna get less punishment. For real, to whom much is given, much is expected; and if you’re trusted with a lot, they’ll demand even more from you.

49I came to set this place on fire; and what’s up if it’s already lit?

50But I’ve got a baptism to go through; and I’m feeling the pressure until it’s done!

51You think I’m here to bring peace? Nah fam, it’s more like a vibe check with some division.

52From now on, it’s gonna be five peeps in one house, and they’re gonna be split, like three vs two and two vs three.

53Dads gonna be at odds with sons, and sons with dads; moms against daughters, and daughters against moms; mother-in-laws vs daughter-in-laws, and vice versa.

54He told the crowd, "When you see a cloud pop up from the west, you’re like, ‘Rain’s coming!’ and you’re not wrong."

55And when the south wind blows, you’re all like, ‘It’s gonna be hot,’ and it totally is.

56Yo, you hypocrites can read the sky and the earth, but how come you can’t get what’s happening right now?

57Seriously, why can’t you even judge what’s right for yourselves?

58When you’re rolling with your enemy to court, make sure you’re on your game so you don’t get thrown in jail by the judge.

59I’m telling you, you won’t bounce until you pay the last cent.

KJV: Luke 12

1In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

3Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

4And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

5But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

8Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

9But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

10And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

11And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

12For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

13And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

14And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

15And 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.

16And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

17And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

18And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

19And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

20But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

21So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

22And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

23The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

24Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

25And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

26If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

27Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

29And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

31But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

35Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

36And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

39And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

40Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

41Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

42And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

43Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

44Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

45But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

46The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

47And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

49I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

50But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

51Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

54And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

55And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

56Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

57Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

58When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

59I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
