“Then he told them
A parable.
He said.
‘The land
Of a rich man
Produced abundantly.”
Εἶπεν δὲ παραβολὴν πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων Ἀνθρώπου τινὸς πλουσίου εὐφόρησεν ἡ χώρα
Next Luke uniquely had Jesus say that he was going to tell them a parable (Εἶπεν δὲ παραβολὴν πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων) about a certain rich man (Ἀνθρώπου τινὸς πλουσίου) who had land that produced abundantly (εὐφόρησεν ἡ χώρα). Luke was the strongest synoptic against wealth and reliance on it. Here the story is about a rich land owner with a fertile farm. What do you know about farms?
