A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 12:17

"and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?" — Luke 12:17 (ASV)

Reasoned within himself (διελογιζετο εν αυτω). Imperfect middle, picturing his continued cogitations over his perplexity.

Where to bestow (που συναξω). Future indicative deliberative, where I shall gather together.

My fruits (τους καρπους μου). So it is with the rich fool: my fruits, my barns, my corn, my goods, just like Nabal whose very name means fool (1 Samuel 25:11), whether a direct reference to him or not.
