Luke 13

¹Now there were some present at that very season who told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

²And he answered and said unto them, Think ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they have suffered these things?

³I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all in like manner perish.

⁴Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem?

⁵I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

⁶And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none.

⁷And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground?

⁸And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

⁹and if it bear fruit thenceforth, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down.

¹⁰And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day.

¹¹And behold, a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and could in no wise lift herself up.

¹²And when Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

¹³And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

¹⁴And the ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath.

¹⁵But the Lord answered him, and said, Ye hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

¹⁶And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, these eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?

¹⁷And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame: and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

¹⁸He said therefore, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I liken it?

¹⁹It is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven lodged in the branches thereof.

²⁰And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

²¹It is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.

²²And he went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and journeying on unto Jerusalem.

²³And one said unto him, Lord, are they few that are saved? And he said unto them,

²⁴Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

²⁵When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are;

²⁶then shall ye begin to say, We did eat and drink in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets;

²⁷and he shall say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

²⁸There 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, and yourselves cast forth without.

²⁹And they shall come from the east and west, and from the north and south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

³⁰And behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.

³¹In that very hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Get thee out, and go hence: for Herod would fain kill thee.

³²And he said unto them, Go and say to that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am perfected.

³³Nevertheless I must go on my way to-day and to-morrow and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

³⁴O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her own brood under her wings, and ye would not!

³⁵Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Luke 13

¹Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with [that of] their sacrifices.

²And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things?

³No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in the same manner.

⁴Or 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?

⁵No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in like manner.

⁶And 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].

⁷And he said to the vinedresser, Behold, [these] three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree and find none: cut it down; why does it also render the ground useless?

⁸But he answering says to him, Sir, let it alone for this year also, until I shall dig about it and put dung,

⁹and if it shall bear fruit — but if not, after that thou shalt cut it down.

¹⁰And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

¹¹And lo, [there was] a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent together and wholly unable to lift her head up.

¹²And Jesus, seeing her, called to [her], and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

¹³And he laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorifiedGod.

¹⁴But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus healed on the sabbath, answering said 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.

¹⁵The Lord therefore answered him and said, Hypocrites! does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger and leading [it] away, water [it]?

¹⁶And this [woman], who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, [these] eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁸And he said, To what is the kingdom ofGod like? and to what shall I liken it?

¹⁹It 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.

²⁰And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom ofGod?

²¹It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until the whole was leavened.

²²And he went through one city and village after another, teaching, and journeying to Jerusalem.

²³And one said to him, Sir, [are] such as are to be saved few in number? But he said unto them,

²⁴Strive with earnestness to enter in through the narrow door, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.

²⁵From 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 to you, I know you not whence ye are:

²⁶then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten in thy presence and drunk, and thou hast taught in our streets;

²⁷and he shall say, I tell you, I do not know you whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity.

²⁸There 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 ofGod, but yourselves cast out.

²⁹And they shall come from east and west, and from north and south, and shall lie down at table in the kingdom ofGod.

³⁰And behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.

³¹The same hour certain Pharisees came up, saying to him, Get out, and go hence, for Herod is desirous to kill thee.

³²And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and accomplish cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third [day] I am perfected;

³³but I must needs walk to-day and to-morrow and the [day] following, for it must not be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

³⁴Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the [city] that kills the prophets and stones 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.

³⁵Behold, 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 comes in the name of [the] Lord.
