Luke 13
1 Now there were present some, in that very season, bringing tidings to him, concerning the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And, answering, he said unto them—Suppose ye, that, these Galilaeans, had become, sinners beyond all the Galilaeans, because, these things, they have suffered?
And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose all of you that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in like manner, shall perish.
I tell you, Nay: but, except all of you repent, all of you shall all likewise perish.
4 Or, those eighteen, upon whom fell the tower in Siloam, and slew them, suppose ye that, they, had become, debtors, beyond all the men who were dwelling in Jerusalem?
Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think all of you that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in the same way, shall perish.
I tell you, Nay: but, except all of you repent, all of you shall all likewise perish.
6 And he went on to speak this parable: —A certain man had, a fig-tree, planted in his vineyard, and he canto seeking fruit therein, and found none.
He spoke 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 unto the vine-dresser—Lo! three years, I come, seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and find none. Cut it down! Why doth it make, even the round 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 cumbers it the ground?
8 And, he, answering, saith unto him—Sir! let it alone this year also, until such time as I dig about it, and throw in manure, —
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 may bear fruit for the future; …but, otherwise, certainly, thou shalt cut it down.
And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that you shall cut it down.
10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the Sabbath.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 And lo! a woman, having a spirit of weakness eighteen years, —and was bowed together, and unable to lift herself up, at all.
And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit (pneuma) of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
12 And, seeing her, Jesus called her and said to her—Woman! thou art loosed from thy weakness, —
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.
13 and laid on her his hands; and, instantly, she was made straight again, and began glorifying God.
And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 But the synagogue-ruler, answering, being greatly displeased that, on the Sabbath, Jesus had healed, began saying unto the multitude—Six days, there are, in which men ought to get their work done; On them, therefore, come and be healed, and, not on the day of rest.
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 answered him, and said—Hypocrites! Doth not, each one of you, on the Sabbath, loose his ox or ass from the manger, and, leading it away, give it drink?
The Lord then answered him, and said, You hypocrite, does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16 But, this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo! eighteen years, was there not a needs-be that she should be loosed from this bond, on the day of rest?
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17 And, as he was saying, these, things, all who had been setting themselves against him were being put to shame; and, all the multitude, were rejoicing over all the glorious things which were being brought to pass by him.
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 He went on to say, therefore—Whereunto, is the kingdom of God, like? And, whereunto, shall I liken it?
Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and unto which shall I resemble it?
19 It is, like, unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree, and, the birds of heaven, lodged amongst its branches.
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?
And again he said, Unto which shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 It is, like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until, the whole, was leavened.
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

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 householder shall rouse himself, and lock the door, and ye begin to stand, outside, and to knock at the door, saying—Lord! open to us; and he shall answer and say unto you—I know you not, whence ye are.
When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut to the door, and all of you 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 all of you are:
26 Then, will ye begin to say—We did eat and drink in thy presence, and, in our broadways, thou didst, teach;
Then shall all of you begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.
27 And he will speak, saying unto you—I know not whence ye are; Depart from me, all workers of unrighteous—
But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence all of you are; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.
28 There, will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, as soon as ye see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and, yourselves, being thrust forth outside.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when all of you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
31 In that very hour, came near certain Pharisees, saying unto him, Go forth, and be journeying hence, because, Herod, desireth to slay thee.
The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get you out, and depart behind: for Herod will kill you.
32 And he said unto them—Go and tell this fox, Lo! I am casting out demons, and, cures, am I finishing, to-day, and to-morrow, —
And he said unto them, Go all of you, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
33 and, on the third, I am to be made perfect. Nevertheless, I must needs, to-day, and tomorrow, and the following, be journeying on, because it is impossible that a prophet perish, outside Jerusalem.
Nevertheless I must walk to day, and tomorrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
34 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often, have I desired to gather together thy children, like as a hen, her own brood, under her wings, —and ye did not desire!
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kill the prophets, and stone them that are sent unto you; how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen does gather her brood under her wings, and all of you would not!
35 Lo! your house is left to you. [And] I say unto you—In nowise shall ye see me, until ye say, —Blessed, is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, All of you shall not see me, until the time come when all of you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
