Now at the same time there were present some at that season who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with that of their sacrifices.
And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?
No, I say to you, but, if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in like manner.
Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, think ye that they were debtors beyond all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
No, I say to you: but, if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in like manner.
And he spoke this parable: A certain [man] had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit upon it, and did not find [any],
and he said to the vine-dresser, Behold, [these] three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree and find none: cut it down: why doth it also render the ground useless?
But he answering saith unto him, Sir, let it alone for this year also, until I shall dig about it, and put dung:
and if it shall bear fruit, thenceforth ; but, if not, after that thou shalt cut it down.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
And lo, [there was] a woman, having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent together, and wholly unable to lift her head up.
And Jesus, seeing her, called to [her], and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
And he laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight and glorified God.
But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day, said in answer to the crowd, There are six days in which [people] ought to work; in these therefore come and be healed and not on the Sabbath day.
The Lord therefore answered him and said, Hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger and leading [it] away, water [it]?
And this [woman] who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo [these] eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?
And as he said these things, all who were opposed to him were ashamed, and all the crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things which were being done by him.
And he said, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I liken it?
It is like a grain of mustard [seed] which a man took and cast into his garden; and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of heaven lodged in its branches.
And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until the whole was leavened.
And he went through one city and village after another, teaching, and journeying to Jerusalem.
And one said to him, Sir, are such as are to be saved few in number? But he said unto them,
Strive with earnestness to enter in through the narrow door, for many, I say unto you, will endeavour to enter in and will not be able.
From the time that the master of the house shall have risen up, and shall have shut the door, and ye shall begin to stand without and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he answering shall say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
then shall ye begin to say, We did eat and drink in thy presence and thou didst teach in our streets;
and he shall say, I tell you, I do not know you whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity.
There shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves cast out.
And they shall come from east and west, and from north and south, and shall lie down at table in the kingdom of God.
And behold, there are last which shall be first. And there are first which shall be last.
The same hour certain Pharisees came up, saying to him, Get out and go hence, for Herod is desirous to kill thee.
And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and I do cures Today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected;
but I must needs walk Today, and tomorrow, and the [day] following, for it must not be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the [city] that killeth the prophets, and stoneth those that are sent unto her; how often would I have gathered thy children together as a hen her brood under her wings, and ye would not.
Behold, your house is left unto you; and I say unto you, that ye shall not see me until it come that ye say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of [the] Lord.
