Luke 12 is the twelfth chapter of the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It records a number of teachings and parables told by Jesus Christ. The book containing this chapter is anonymous but early Christian tradition uniformly affirmed that Luke composed this Gospel as well as Acts.

This chapter can be grouped (with cross references to other parts of the Bible):

This parable of Jesus appears in only Gospel of Luke among the Canonical gospels of the New Testament. The parable reflects the foolishness of attaching too much importance to wealth.

An abbreviated version of the parable also appears in the non canonical Gospel of Thomas (Saying 63) and this parable has been depicted by artists such as Rembrandt, Jan Luyken, James Tissot, and David Teniers the Younger.

Cross reference: Matthew 6:33
