THERE were present at that season some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 and Jesus answering said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things?
And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things?
3 No—I say to you, but if you may not convert, even so will all you perish.
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do you think that these became debtors beyond all men who are dwelling in Jerusalem?
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 No—I say to you, but if you may not convert, all you will perish in like manner.”
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
6 And He spoke this allegory: “A certain one had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find;
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 and he said to the vinedresser, Behold, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig tree, and do not find [it], cut it off, why does it also render the ground useless?
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 says to him, Lord, permit it also this year, until I may dig around it, and cast in dung;
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 indeed it may bear fruit—and if not so, thereafter you will cut it off.”
And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

12 and Jesus having seen her, called [her] near and said to her, “Woman, you have been loosed from your disability”;
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

14 And the chief of the synagogue answering—much displeased that on the Sabbath Jesus healed—said to the multitude, “Six days there are in which it is necessary to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the day of the Sabbath.”
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 Then the LORD answered him and said, “Hypocrite, do not each of you loose his ox or donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and having led [it] away, water [it]?
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?

26 then you may begin to say, We ate before You, and drank, and You taught in our broad places;
Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 and He will say, I say to you, I have not known you from where you are; depart from Me, all you workers of the unrighteousness.
But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

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 but it is necessary for Me today, and tomorrow, and the [day] following, to go on, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish out of Jerusalem.
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 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent to her, how often I willed to gather together your children, as a hen [gathers] her brood under the wings, and you did not will.
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!
