Commentary on Luke 12:19

Theological / Devotional

Soul. See on Matthew 10:28.

Take thine ease. He has made his fortune and is ready to retire. He will give himself up to consuming the good things of life, with no further thought of producing.

Eat, drink, and be merry. He feels certain that he has enough to last the rest of his life, and will spend his days in riotous living, as did the prodigal son in the far country, forgetting God and his fellow men (see on Luke 15:13; cf. Ecclesiastes 8:15).
