Luke 13
1 Ther were present at the same season that shewed him of ye Galileas whose bloude Pylate mengled with their awne sacrifice.
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.
2 And Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Suppose ye that these Galileans were greater synners then all the other Galileas because they suffred suche punisshmet?
“Do you suppose,” replied Jesus, “that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
3 I tell you naye: but except ye repent ye shall all in lyke wyse perysshe.
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
4 Or those. xviii. apon which ye toure in Syloe fell and slewe the thinke ye that they were synners above all men yt dwell in Ierusalem?
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?
5 I tell you naye: But excepte ye repent ye all shall lykewyse perisshe.
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.”
6 He put forthe this similiiude A certayne man had a fygge tree planted in his veneyarde and he came and sought frute theron and founde none.
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.
7 Then sayde he to ye dresser of his vyneyarde: Beholde this thre yeare have I come and sought frute in this fygge tree and fynde none: cut it doune: why combreth it the grounde?
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?’
8 And he answered and sayde vnto him: lorde let it alone this yeare also till I digge rounde aboute it and doge it to se
‘Leave it this one year more, Sir,’ the man answered, ‘until I have dug around it and manured it.
9 whether it will beare frute: and if it beare not then after yt cut it doune
Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.’”
10 And he taught in one of their sinagoges on ye saboth dayes.
Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the synagogues,
11 And beholde ther was a woma which had a sprete of infirmite. xviii. yeares: and was bowed to gether and coulde not lifte vp hersilfe at all.
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.
12 When Iesus sawe her he called her to him and sayde to her: woman thou arte delyvered from thy disease.
When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said, “Woman, you are released from your weakness.”
13 And he layde his hondes on her and immediatly she was made strayght and glorified God.
He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise God.
14 And the ruler of the sinagoge answered with indignacion (be cause that Iesus had healed on the saboth daye) and sayde vnto the people. Ther are sixe dayes in which men ought to worke: in them come and be healed and not on the saboth daye.
But the synagogue leader, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, intervened 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.”
15 Then answered him the Lorde and sayd: Ypocrite doth not eache one of you on the saboth daye lowse his oxe or his asse from the stall and leade him to the water?
“You hypocrites!” the Master answered him. “Does not everyone of you let your ox or your donkey loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?
16 And ought not this doughter of Abraham whom Sathan hath bounde loo. xviii. yeares be lowsed from this bonde on the saboth daye?
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?”
17 And when he thus sayde all his adversaries were ashamed and all the people reioysed on all the excellent dedes that were done by him.
As he said this, his opponents all felt ashamed; but all the people rejoiced to see all the wonderful things that he was doing.
18 Then sayde he: What is the kyngdome of God lyke? or wherto shall I compare it?
So Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what can I liken it?
19 It is lyke a grayne of mustard seede which a man toke and sowed in his garden: and it grewe and wexed a greate tree and the foules of the ayer made nestes in the braunches of it.
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.”
20 And agayne he sayde: wher vnto shall I lyken ye kyngdome of god?
And again Jesus said, “To what can I liken the kingdom of God?
21 it is lyke leve which a woman toke and hidde in thre busshels of floure tyll all was thorow levended.
It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
22 And he went thorow all maner of cities and tounes teachinge and iorneyinge towardes Ierusalem.
Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards Jerusalem.
23 Then sayde one vnto him: Lorde are ther feawe that shalbe saved? And he sayde vnto them:
“Master,” someone asked, “are there but few in the path of salvation?” And Jesus answered,
24 stryve with youre selves to enter in at ye strayte gate: For many I saye vnto you will seke to enter in and shall not be able.
“Strive to go in by the narrow door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
25 When the good man of ye housse is rysen vp and hath shett to the dore ye shall beginne to stonde with out and to knocke at the dore sayinge: Lorde lorde open vnto vs: and he shall answer and saye vnto you: I knowe you not whence ye are.
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.’
26 Then shall ye begin to saye. We have eaten in thy presence and dronke and thou hast taught in oure stretes.
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 –
27 And he shall saye: I tell you I knowe you not whence ye are: departe from me all ye workers of iniquite.
‘I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.’
28 There shalbe wepinge and gnasshinge of teth when ye shall se Abraham and Isaac and Iacob and all the prophetes in the kyngdom of God and youre selves thrust oute at dores.
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.
29 And they shall come from the eest and from the weest and from the northe and from the southe and shall syt doune in the kyngdome of God.
People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet in the kingdom of God.
30 And beholde ther are last which shalbe fyrst: And ther are fyrst which shalbe last.
There are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!”
31 The same daye there came certayne of the pharises and sayd vnto him: Get the out of the waye and departe hence: for Herode will kyll ye.
Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said, “Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you.”
32 And he sayd vnto them. Goo ye and tell that foxe beholde I cast oute devyls and heale the people to daye and to morowe and the third daye I make an ende.
But Jesus answered, “Go and say to that fox ‘Look you, I am driving out demons and will be completing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will have done.’
33 Neverthelesse I must walke todaye and tomorowe and the daye folowinge: For it cannot be that a Prophet perishe eny other where save at Ierusalem.
But today and tomorrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a prophet should meet his end outside Jerusalem.
34 O Ierusalem Ierusalem which kyllest prophetes and stonest them that are sent to ye: how often wolde I have gadered thy childre to gedder as the hen gathereth her nest vnder her wynges but ye wolde not.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You who slays the prophets and stones the messengers sent to you – Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children around me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
35 Beholde youre habitacion shalbe left vnto you desolate. For I tell you ye shall not se me vntill the tyme come that ye shall saye blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lorde.
Verily your house is left to you desolate! And never, I tell you, will you see me, until you say – ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
