LU-13:1 There were present at that season some that told him of
the
Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
LU-13:2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that
these Galilaeans
were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered
such things?
LU-13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all
likewise perish.
LU-13:4 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?
LU-13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all
likewise perish.
LU-13:6 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.
LU-13:7 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?
LU-13:8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this
year also,
till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]:
LU-13:9 And if it bear fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after
that thou shalt
cut it down.
LU-13:10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the
sabbath.
LU-13:11 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].
LU-13:12 And when Jesus saw her, he called [her to him], and
said unto her,
Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
LU-13:13 And he laid [his] hands on her: and immediately she
was made
straight, and glorified God.
LU-13:14 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.
LU-13:15 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?
LU-13:16 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?
LU-13:17 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.
LU-13:18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like?
and whereunto
shall I resemble it?
LU-13:19 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.
LU-13:20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom
of God?
LU-13:21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three
measures of
meal, till the whole was leavened.
LU-13:22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching,
and journeying
toward Jerusalem.
LU-13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be
saved? And he
said unto them,
LU-13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say
unto you, will
seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
LU-13:25 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:
LU-13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in
thy presence,
and thou hast taught in our streets.
LU-13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye
are; depart
from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
LU-13:28 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.
LU-13:29 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.
LU-13:30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and
there are first
which shall be last.
LU-13:31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees,
saying unto him,
Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
LU-13:32 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.
LU-13:33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and
the [day]
following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of
Jerusalem.
LU-13:34 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!
LU-13:35 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.
