1 Now there were some present at that very season who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifies.
And there were present, at that very time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 "Do you suppose," he answered them, "that those Galileans were worse sinners than the rest of the Galileans because they have suffered thus?
And he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things?
3 "I tell you no; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
4 "Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than the rest of those who lived in Jerusalem?
Or those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you, that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 "I tell you no; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did."
No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
6 Then he gave them this parable. "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came to look for fruit on it, but found none.
He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
7 So he said to the gardener. "‘See, for years I have come looking for fruit on this tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why should it actually cumber the ground?’
And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it done therefore: why cumbereth it the ground?
8 "But the gardener answered him. ‘Lord, let it alone this year also, till I have dug around it, and fertilized it.
But he answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it, and dung it.
9 "If after that it bears fruit, well and good; but if not you shall cut it down.’"
And if happily it bear fruit: but if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
10 Once he was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the Sabbath,

11 a woman was present who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. she was bent double, and could not lift herself up at all.
And behold there was a woman, who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and she was bowed together, neither could she look upwards at all.
12 Jesus noticed her and called to him and said, "Woman, you are free from your weakness."
Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him, and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity.
13 Then he placed his hand on her, and she instantly stood upright and began to give glory to God.
And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 But the ruler of the synagogue was indignant at Jesus for healing her on the Sabbath, and said to the crowd. "There are six days of the week on which men ought to work. Therefore come during those, and get cured, but not on the Sabbath Day."
And the ruler of the synagogue (being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath) answering, said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them therefore come, and be healed; and not on the sabbath day.
15 But the Lord answered him. "Hypocrites!" he said, "does not each one of you loose his ox or his ass from the stall on the Sabbath Day, and lead it to water,
And the Lord answering him, said: Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you, on the sabbath day, loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead them to water?
16 "and this woman, who is the daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound these eighteen years, ought she not have been loosened from bondage, though the day be the Sabbath?"
And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
