Luke 13
1 Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
There were certaine men present at the same season, that shewed him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 “Do you suppose,” replied Jesus, “that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Suppose ye, that these Galileans were greater sinners then al the other Galileans, because they haue suffered such things?
3 No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
I tell you, nay: but except ye amend your liues, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen men at Siloam on whom the tower fell, killing them all, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than any other inhabitants of Jerusalem?
Or thinke you that those eighteene, vpon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slewe them, were sinners aboue all men that dwel in Hierusalem?
5 No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.”
I tell you, nay: but except ye amend your liues, ye shall all likewise perish.
6 And Jesus told them this parable — “A man, who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, came to look for fruit on it, but could not find any.
He spake also this parable, A certaine man had a figge tree planted in his vineyard: and he came and sought fruite thereon, and found none.
7 So he said to his gardener ‘Three years now I have come to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any! Cut it down. Why should it rob the soil?’
Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, this three yeeres haue I come and sought fruite of this figge tree, and finde none: cut it downe: why keepeth it also the ground barren?
8 ‘Leave it this one year more, Sir,’ the man answered, ‘till I have dug round it and manured it.
And he answered, and said vnto him, Lord, let it alone this yeere also, till I digge round about it, and doung it.
9 Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.’”
And if it beare fruite, well: if not, then after thou shalt cut it downe.
10 Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the Synagogues,
And he taught in one of ye Synagogues on the Sabbath day.
11 and he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.
And behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmitie eighteene yeeres, and was bowed together, and coulde not lift vp her selfe in any wise.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said: “Woman, you are released from your weakness.”
When Iesus sawe her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thy disease.
13 He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise God.
And he laide his handes on her, and immediately she was made straight againe, and glorified God.
14 But the President of the Synagogue, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, interposed and said to the people: “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come to be cured on one of those, and not on the Sabbath.”
And the ruler of the Synagogue answered with indignation, because that Iesus healed on the Sabbath day, and said vnto the people, There are sixe dayes in which men ought to worke: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.
15 “You hypocrites!” the Master answered him. “Does not every one of you let his ox or his ass loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?
Then answered him the Lord, and said, Hypocrite, doth not eche one of you on the Sabbath day loose his oxe or his asse from the stall, and leade him away to the water?
16 But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been kept in bondage by Satan for now eighteen years, ought not she to have been released from her bondage on the Sabbath?”
And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, loe, eighteene yeeres, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?
17 As he said this, his opponents all felt ashamed; but all the people rejoiced to see all the wonderful things that he was doing.
And when he said these things, all his aduersaries were ashamed: but all the people reioyced at all the excellent things, that were done by him.
18 So Jesus said: “What is the Kingdom of God like? and to what can I liken it?
Then said he, What is the kingdome of God like? or whereto shall I compare it?
19 It is like a mustard-seed which a man took and put in his garden. The seed grew and became a tree, and ‘the wild birds roosted in its branches.’”
It is like a graine of mustard seede, which a man tooke and sowed in his garden, and it grewe, and waxed a great tree, and the foules of the heauen made nestes in the branches thereof.
20 And again Jesus said: “To what can I liken the Kingdom of God?
And againe he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdome of God?
21 It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
It is like leauen, which a woman tooke, and hid in three peckes of floure, till all was leauened.
22 Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards Jerusalem.
And he went through all cities and townes, teaching, and iourneying towards Hierusalem.
23 “Master,” some one asked, “are there but few in the path of Salvation?” And Jesus answered:
Then saide one vnto him, Lord, are there fewe that shalbe saued? And he said vnto them,
24 “Strive to go in by the small door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
Striue to enter in at the straite gate: for many, I say vnto you, will seeke to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 when once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, while you begin to say, as you stand outside and knock, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ His answer will be — ‘I do not know where you come from.’
When the good man of the house is risen vp, and hath shut to the doore, and ye begin to stand without, and to knocke at the doore, saying, Lord, Lord, open to vs, and he shall answere and say vnto you, I know you not whence ye are,
26 Then you will begin to say ‘We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets,’ and his reply will be —
Then shall ye begin to say, We haue eaten and drunke in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streetes.
27 ‘I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.’
But he shall say, I tell you, I knowe you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquitie.
28 There, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the Prophets, in the Kingdom of God, while you yourselves are being driven outside.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when ye shall see Abraham and Isaac, and Iacob, and all the Prophets in the kingdome of God, and your selues thrust out at doores.
29 People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet in the Kingdom of God.
Then shall come many from the East, and from the West, and from the North, and from the South, and shall sit at Table in the kingdome of God.
30 there are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!”
And beholde, there are last, which shalbe first, and there are first, which shalbe last.
31 Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said: “Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you.”
The same day there came certaine Pharises, and said vnto him, Depart, and goe hence: for Herod will kill thee.
32 But Jesus answered: “Go and say to that fox ‘Look you, I am driving out demons and shall be completing cures to-day and to-morrow, and on the third day I shall have done.’
Then said he vnto them, Goe ye and tell that foxe, Beholde, I cast out deuils, and will heale still to day, and to morowe, and the third day I shalbe perfected.
33 But to-day and to-morrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a Prophet should meet his end outside Jerusalem.
Neuerthelesse I must walke to day, and to morowe, and the day following: for it cannot be that a Prophet should perish out of Hierusalem.
34 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she who slays the Prophets and stones the messengers sent to her — Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children round me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
O Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, howe often would I haue gathered thy children together, as the henne gathereth her brood vnder her wings, and ye would not!
35 Verily your House is left to you desolate! and never, I tell you, shall you see me, until you say — ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
Beholde, your house is left vnto you desolate: and verely I tell you, ye shall not see me vntill the time come that ye shall say, Blessed is he that commeth in the Name of the Lord.
