LUKE 11:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.”
Someone in the crowd asks Jesus to tell his brother to divide the inheritance with him, and Jesus refuses the role of judge or arbiter — who appointed me judge over you? — before delivering the parable that exposes the request's real danger. Watch out! Be on guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions. The request for justice in the inheritance dispute is actually a request for Jesus to sanction covetousness.
