Luke 13

Whiston(i) 1 There were present at that season, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering, said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galileans, were sinners above all Galileans, because they suffered these things? 3 I tell you, No; but except ye shall 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 debters above all men that dwell in Jerusalem? 5 And I tell you, No; but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 6 He spake also this parable: one had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit there from, and found none. 7 And he said unto the dresser of his vineyard, behold, these three years, It is now that I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: Bring the Ax; cut it down, why cumbreth it the ground? 8 And he answering, said unto him, Lord, let it alone yet this year, till I shall dig about it, and cast a vessel of dung [upon it.] 9 Parhaps it may bear fruit; and if not, 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 who had an infirmity of spirit eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could not at all lift up[her self]. 12 And when Jesus saw her, he said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 13 And he laid hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 14 But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, and said, unto the multitude. There are six days in which they ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath-day. 15 But the Lord Jesus answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite; doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox and 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 eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day? 17 And, his adversaries were ashamed: and all the multitude rejoyced for all the glorious things, they had seen done by him. 18 And he said, 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 became a tree: and the fowls of the air lodged under the branches of it. 20 Whereunto is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I compare it? 21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three Seahs of meal, till the whole was leavened. 22 And he went through the cities and countreys, teaching and journeying to Jerusalem. 23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are those that are saved few? But he said unto them, 24 Strive to enter in at the strait door: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not find it. 25 When once the master of the house shall be come in, and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence you are: 26 Then shall ye begin to say, Lord, we have eat and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27 And he shall say, I tell you, I never knew you: 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 thrust out. 29 And they shall come from the east, and the west, and the north, and the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 And behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last. 31 The same hour there came certain of the Pharisees, to him, saying, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod seeketh to kill thee. 32 And he said unto them, Go ye and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out daemons, and I shall do cures to day, and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. 33 Nevertheless, I must walk today, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. 34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto it, how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not? 35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: But I say unto you, Ye shall by no means see me, until the time shall come when ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
