1 G1161 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 .
