Luke 13
1 There were present at the same time, some that told Him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye think that these were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?
And he answered and said to them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered these things?
3 I tell you, No: but, unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do ye think that they were sinners above all the inhabitants in Jerusalem?
Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, No: but, unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."
6 And He spake this parable, A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, but found none.
He spoke this parable. "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
7 And he said to the vine-dresser, behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down, why should it cumber the ground?
He said to the vine dresser, 'Look, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?'
8 And he said to him, Sir, let it alone this year also, till I dig about it, and lay dung to it:
He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.
9 then perhaps it may bear fruit; if not, afterwards cut it down.
And if it bears fruit next time, [fine]; but if not, you can cut it down.'"
10 And when He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath-day,
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
11 there was a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and utterly unable to lift herself upright.
And look, a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.
12 And when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."
13 And He laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified God.
14 But the ruler of the synagogue, being provoked that Jesus had wrought a cure on the sabbath-day, said to the people, There are six days in which ye ought to work; on these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.
The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days when work should be done Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day."
15 The Lord therefore answered him and said, Thou hypocrite, does not any of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall and lead him away to watering?
Therefore the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites. Does not each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water?
16 And might not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?
Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, look, eighteen years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?"
17 Upon his saying this, all his adversaries were ashamed: but the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.
As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the crowd rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Then said He, To what is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?
Then he said, "What is the Kingdom of God like? And to what can I compare it?
19 It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew, and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in it's boughs.
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his own garden. It grew, and became a tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in its branches."
20 And again He said, To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
And again he said, "To what can I compare the Kingdom of God?
21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and put into three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened."
22 And he went through the cities and villages teaching, as He journeyed towards Jerusalem.
He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.
23 And one said to Him, Lord, are there but few that shall be saved?
One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" He said to them,
24 But He said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate; for I tell you, many will desire to enter in, and shall not be able.
"Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
25 When the master of the house shall have risen up and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without and knock at the door saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and He shall answer and say to you, I know you not, whence ye are:
When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us.' then he will answer and tell you, 'I do not know you or where you come from.'
26 then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drank in thy presence,
Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'
27 and thou hast taught in our streets, But He will say, I tell you, I know you not, whence ye are; depart from me all ye workers of iniquity:
But he will reply, 'I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.'
28 and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves shut out.
There will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being thrown outside.
29 Yea they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in the Kingdom of God.
30 And behold, there are some last who shall be first, and there are first that shall be last.
And look, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last."
31 At the same time came some of the pharisees, and said to Him, Go out and depart hence, for Herod intends to kill thee.
In that same hour some Pharisees came, saying to him, "Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants to kill you."
32 And He said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and to-morrow; and in a little while I am to be perfected:
And he said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Look, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
33 but I must procede to-day and to-morrow and the following; for it cannot be supposed that a prophet should be cut off but in Jerusalem.
Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it cannot be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem.'
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and ye would not?
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused.
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and I assure you ye shall not see me again till the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Look, your house is abandoned to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
