Luke 13
1 There were certaine men present at the same season, that shewed him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
Now there were some present at that very time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 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?
Jesus responded to them, “Do you think that those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, nay: but except ye amend your liues, ye shall all likewise perish.
No, I tell you, but if you do not repent, you will all likewise perish.
4 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?
Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower in Siloam fell on them, do you think they were worse offenders than all the other people who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, nay: but except ye amend your liues, ye shall all likewise perish.
No, I tell you, but if you do not repent, you will all likewise perish.”
6 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.
Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it but did not find any.
7 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?
So he said to the vinedresser, ‘Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and have not found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’
8 And he answered, and said vnto him, Lord, let it alone this yeere also, till I digge round about it, and doung it.
But the vinedresser said to him in response, ‘Sir, allow it to remain for this year also, and I will dig around it and put manure on it.
9 And if it beare fruite, well: if not, then after thou shalt cut it downe.
If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, yoʋ can cut it down in the coming year.’”
10 And he taught in one of ye Synagogues on the Sabbath day.
One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues.
11 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.
And behold, there was a woman who had suffered from a spirit of disability for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not stand up completely straight.
12 When Iesus sawe her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thy disease.
When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, yoʋ are set free from yoʋr disability.”
13 And he laide his handes on her, and immediately she was made straight againe, and glorified God.
Then he laid his hands on her, and at once her back was made straight, and she began glorifying God.
14 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.
But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd in response, “There are six days in which work should be done; so come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath day.”
15 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?
Then the Lord said to him in response, “Hypocrites! Do not each of you on the Sabbath untie yoʋr ox or donkey from the manger, lead it away, and give it water?
16 And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, loe, eighteene yeeres, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?
Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, be released from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”
17 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.
When he said this, all his adversaries were put to shame, and the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things he was doing.
18 Then said he, What is the kingdome of God like? or whereto shall I compare it?
Then Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what should I compare it?
19 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.
It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches.”
20 And againe he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdome of God?
Again he said, “To what should I compare the kingdom of God?
21 It is like leauen, which a woman tooke, and hid in three peckes of floure, till all was leauened.
It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour until it had all been leavened.”
22 And he went through all cities and townes, teaching, and iourneying towards Hierusalem.
Then Jesus traveled through towns and villages, teaching and making his way to Jerusalem.
23 Then saide one vnto him, Lord, are there fewe that shalbe saued? And he said vnto them,
Someone said to him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” Jesus said to them,
24 Striue to enter in at the straite gate: for many, I say vnto you, will seeke to enter in, and shall not be able.
“Strive to enter through the narrow gate. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able to.
25 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,
Once the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will answer you, ‘I do not know you or where you are from.’
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We haue eaten and drunke in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streetes.
Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in yoʋr presence, and yoʋ taught in our streets.’
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I knowe you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquitie.
But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know you or where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of unrighteousness.’
28 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.
In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves cast out.
29 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.
People will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at the banquet table in the kingdom of God.
30 And beholde, there are last, which shalbe first, and there are first, which shalbe last.
And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
31 The same day there came certaine Pharises, and said vnto him, Depart, and goe hence: for Herod will kill thee.
On that same day some Pharisees came up and said to Jesus, “Leave this place and go somewhere else, for Herod wants to kill yoʋ.”
32 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.
But he said to them, “Go tell that fox, ‘Behold, I will continue casting out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will finish my work.’
33 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.
Nevertheless, I must go on my way today, tomorrow, and the following day; for it is unthinkable that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.
34 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!
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to yoʋ! How often I have wanted to gather yoʋr children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!
35 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.
Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will certainly not see me again until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
