Luke.13
[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.
Luke.14
[1] And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the
sabbath day, that they watched him.
[2] And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the
dropsy.
[3] And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the
sabbath day?
[4] And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
