| 1 | There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans , whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices . |
| 2 | And Jesus answering said unto them , Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans , because they suffered such things ? |
| 3 | I tell you , Nay : but , except ye repent , ye shall all likewise perish . |
| 4 | Or those eighteen , upon whom the tower in Siloam fell , and slew them , think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem ? |
| 5 | I tell you , Nay : but , except ye repent , ye shall all likewise perish . |
| 6 | He spake also this parable ; A certain [man] had a fig tree planted in his vineyard ; and he came and sought fruit thereon , and found none . |
| 7 | Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard , Behold , these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree , and find none : cut it down ; why cumbereth it the ground ? |
| 8 | And he answering said unto him , Lord , let it alone this year also , till I shall dig about it , and dung [it]: |
| 9 | And if it bear fruit , [well]: and if not , [then] after that thou shalt cut it down . |
| 10 | And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath . |
| 11 | And , behold , there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years , and was bowed together , and could in no wise lift up [herself]. |
| 12 | And when Jesus saw her , he called [her to him], and said unto her , Woman , thou art loosed from thine infirmity . |
| 13 | And he laid [his] hands on her : and immediately she was made straight , and glorified God . |
| 14 | And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation , because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people , There are six days in which men ought to work : in them therefore come and be healed , and not on the sabbath day . |
| 15 | The Lord then answered him , and said , [Thou] hypocrite , doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or [his] ass from the stall , and lead [him] away to watering ? |
| 16 | And ought not this woman , being a daughter of Abraham , whom Satan hath bound , lo , these eighteen years , be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day ? |
| 17 | And when he had said these things , all his adversaries were ashamed : and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him . |
| 18 | Then said he , Unto what is the kingdom of God like ? and whereunto shall I resemble it ? |
| 19 | It is like a grain of mustard seed , which a man took , and cast into his garden ; and it grew , and waxed a great tree ; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it . |
| 20 | And again he said , Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God ? |
| 21 | It is like leaven , which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal , till the whole was leavened . |
| 22 | And he went through the cities and villages , teaching , and journeying toward Jerusalem . |
| 23 | Then said one unto him , Lord , are there few that be saved ? And he said unto them , |
| 24 | Strive to enter in at the strait gate : for many , I say unto you , will seek to enter in , and shall not be able . |
| 25 | When 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 , Lord , open unto us ; and he shall answer and say unto you , I know you not whence ye are : |
| 26 | Then shall ye begin to say , We have eaten and drunk in thy presence , and thou hast taught in our streets . |
| 27 | But he shall say , I tell you , I know you not whence ye are ; depart from me , all [ye] workers of iniquity . |
| 28 | There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth , when ye shall see Abraham , and Isaac , and Jacob , and all the prophets , in the kingdom of God , and you [yourselves] thrust out . |
| 29 | And they shall come from the east , and [from] the west , and from the north , and [from] the south , and shall sit down in the kingdom of God . |
| 30 | And , behold , there are last which shall be first , and there are first which shall be last . |
| 31 | The same day there came certain of the Pharisees , saying unto him , Get thee out , and depart hence : for Herod will kill thee . |
| 32 | And he said unto them , Go ye , and tell that fox , Behold , I cast out devils , and I do cures to day and to morrow , and the third [day] I shall be perfected . |
| 33 | Nevertheless I must walk to day , and to morrow , and the [day] following : for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem . |
| 34 | O Jerusalem , Jerusalem , which killest the prophets , and stonest them that are sent unto thee ; how often would I have gathered thy children together , as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings , and ye would not ! |
| 35 | Behold , your house is left unto you desolate : and verily I say unto you , Ye shall not see me , until [the time] come when ye shall say , Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord . |
